>dont know why they changed it,

I remember reading an interview from Itoi saying he changed a lot because he didn't want to be too cruel to his fans.

I think we were going to see Eagleland and the rest of the world crumble in an apocalypse. It's only alluded to in the GBA version, but I remember seeing beta screenshots of something like a town being destroyed somewhere.

I feel like this is an important fact to share that is probably related to all the love for counterculture in Earthbound. Not to mention the mushroom status effect.

Also in Pokemon Red/Blue there was a hiker high as fuck on mushrooms, but it was changed to hayfever here. People from Ape went on to do Pokemon Red/Blue so yeah.

Also just japan in general.
