Pokémon Red & Blue was 373 KB. So much efficiency and creative coding made early high-content video games possible. Imagine how bloated that would be if it was vibe coded by AI

But could you imagine all the exploits we would have found by now? That special little coast line would have been nothing. Missing Number? Bet we would have had the whole Missing Alphabet haha.
