A recent interview in @Gamer magazine with {{bp|Junichi Masuda}} and {{bp|Ken Sugimori}}, directors of development and art respectively at {{bp|Game Freak}}, has revealed some information on the development on the Pokémon series. One major point in this interview was that of a rejected Pokémon design, based off of [[wp:Dolly (sheep)|the first cloned sheep]], but it was deemed to be "too controversial." Another speck of information revealed in the interview is that {{p|Ditto}} was based off of the [[wp:Smiley|iconic yellow smiley face]], despite its [[:File:132Ditto.png|natural purple appearance]]; the two consider the blob to be the weirdest Pokémon.

Pokémon and people together," during a trip to the {{wp|United Nations}} building in {{wp|New York City}}, the basis of the {{bp|Unova}} region.
