Do you think the first two generations of pokemon were created at the same time? Just wondering becaus ethey came out fairly close together and their were many new pokemon very early on in the anime.;110;

It's not beyond the realm of logic to guess that some of the Pokemon debuting in Gen II were somehow involved in Gen I. Sketches from the time suggest that several were at least thought of as concepts before being shelved for one reason or another. And Johto era Pokemon appeared in the anime as early as the first episode (Ho-Oh) shortly followed up with Togepi.

That's basically right. 1st gen had planned to have most of 2nd gen's pokemon, but they were cut out of 1st gen because then 2nd gen would have had very few pokemon and not enough to make it worth it. I don't think they became Missingno. though...

With the Ho-oh appearance in the first episode of the anime, clearly there were at least SOME gen II pokemon in the late design stages when the first episode aired.

Maybe. It not they were REALLY close together. I mean Kanto and Johto are connected landmasses. Coincidence? I dont think so.

This is probably true, I heard this before somewhere.

Red and Green were released in 1996.
Gold and Silver were released in 1999.

Three years apart. You must be thinking along the lines of them being released in the states, in which case they would seem close together. 1998 for Red and Blue being released, then Gold and Silver were already being spoken about in Japan.

The team was much smaller back in Gen I. Gen II still had several of the original producers of Gen I on board. In Gen 3, several of the people who worked on the Gen I games either took supervising roles in Pokemon games (the guy who does the art still oversees all designs and has creaitive input) or took on roles throughout the franchise.
