Alright, I'm sick of hearing that Heartless did not exist in the time of BBS.
Nomura says that they don't APPEAR in BBS, not that they didn't exist.
During BBS, the Heartless had not been discovered yet, therefore they do not show up.
AtW did not discover the Heartless until AFTER BBS.
Just because the Heartless do not appear in BBS, does not mean that they did not exist during this time!
YOU SEE THERE?
He never once said they did not exist!
He only told us that they do not APPEAR!
In conclusion,
HEARLTESS HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED!!!
I dare you to try and prove otherwise based on the evidence I've given!

Interviewer: Are there new enemies you can confirm that are not shown in the screens?
Nomura: The new enemy is not a Heartless, or a Nobody, because the story takes place before even they appear. I can only give out more information, little by little, as time passes: an example being like the Shadow enemies that are heartless, and the Dusk enemies that are nobodies.
