Prior to Pokemon‘s 1998 debut in the West, Nintendo considered making Pokemon less cute in hopes that the American audience would be more interested in the creatures. For example, an early concept art of Pikachu presented a more muscular and monster-like version of the franchise mascot, but Hiroshi Yamauchi, who was the president of the company at the time, rejected the piece and ordered artists to retain initial designs of Pokemon.
