In the first generation of Pokémon games, many of the Pokémon have very similar sounding cries, unlike today where they are fairly unique. This video goes into detail to find out why exactly this is, and how the sound effects are implemented.

I also created a webapp that lets you mess around with the cry data--you can find it here: http://www.dotsarecool.com/rgme/tech/gen1cries.html

I was planning on having more examples at the end of the video, but I decided to stuff them all into their own reference video that will be released shortly.
