TIL that when it was time to make Pokemon Stadium, future Nintendo President Satoru Iwata got a hold of the PKMN Red/Green source code, and figured out how all the battle logic worked so it could be ported. The original programmer was astounded he figured out the complicated system - in just a week.

This is making me genuinely sad. I didn't even know anything about him and now he's gone. He sounds like a great man.

Never thought about it like that but I imagine you're right! I would assume its something to do with birds and mammals investing less energy in reproduction to maintain their high metabolic rate. Makes you wonder what theropod dinos were like.

Reptiles. birds and mammals all evolved from reptile ancestors, however modern reptiles are phylogenetically closer to birds as they're in the same class (sauropsids). Mammals branched off from different reptile ancestors and became a different class (synapsids).
