    1/5 of the budget must of been spent on naming and drawing icons for the different fish. Japan must really love fish.
    My personal theory is that there is only one developer whos working on fishing and nothing else. Hes 60+ years old, does all the fishing content on its own and no one has the heart to let him go. So he got his tiny little office with a fishtank and pictures of himself, holding large fish into the camera all over the walls. Hes wearing fishing gear every day to work, too. He only comes to every other meeting, but thats fine, since no one else cares for fish but he doesnt care about that.
    Two weeks before each patch, he hands a huge stack of texts and pictures over to the rest and makes the locailsation teams weep because now they have texts for 100 fish to translate.
    Fisher guy goes on a three weeks vacation in the meantime - two weeks fishing, one week preparing sushi in this home kitchen that he brings back for the rest of the team. Since his sushi is really, really good and hes such a sweet old guy, everyone forgives him and he returns to his little fishtank-office and draws more fish...

    On the topic at hand: yeah, recolours have been a thing since FFI... heck, since RPGs are a thing, most likely.

    I agree about re-skins/re-colors of game sprites being a thing in most games, I cant see anywhere I was stating it wasn't a thing. My "issue" was just that typically in most games its not a thing right out the gate. You're typically given a nice variety of monsters before you start seeing the same ones (more so in MMO's). Maybe not so much in the old NES/SNES ones but in more recent games that is.

    Needless to say glad to hear more variety will be coming and I love the description of the "Fishing Department" of SE. ^,..^
