As development for Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver progressed, Iwata
created compression tools that would allow for the games to contain the
original Kanto regions in addition to the new Johto region. This became a
monumental success and the team at Game Freak were amazed as to how much he
could fit onto a Game Boy cartridge.
When Game Freak were developing Pokémon Stadium for the Nintendo 64,
they realised that they had no specification documents left for the battle
system. Iwata didn’t work at either Game Freak nor Nintendo, but he acted as
an intermediary between them. He studied the original source code for the
battle system and was able to successfully implement it in Pokémon Stadium
in just one week.
[Shigeki Morimoto] said, “I created that battle program and it really
took a long time to put together. But when I heard that Iwata-san had been
able to port it over in about a week and that it was already working… Well,
I thought: “What kind of company president is this!?”
Just my comment here: the technical ability of Satoru Iwata was absolutely
incredible. For a company president to also be so skilled at development is a
great feat.
金银可以双地图是聪哥协助开发搞出来的这大家都知道不用多说了。
在开发宝可梦竞技场64的时候，因为不管是GF还是任天堂当初都没有想过
宝可梦会以这样的形式去登陆，所以也没有留下任何规格说明跟程式计划书来
提供给宝可梦竞技场64做参考。
而岩田聪那时也不是GF或者任天堂的程式人员，但他加入了这个计画
并且花了一周的时间同时研究GB的宝可梦原始码加以解析并且完成了这个工作。
森本茂树：我当初开创这个战斗系统可是花了非常长的时间，而当我听到
岩田先生用了一周时间在做这件事并且已经可以执行的时候...
我在想着“这人到底是什么样的公司总裁阿！”
聪哥真的是程式怪物.................
我的名片上，他写着公司总裁；我自己看来，我是游戏设计师，
然而在我心中，我只是个玩家 -岩田聡 游戏开发者大会2005
