>International, no he isn't he might do some fucking artwork for twatter but nothing like design mons anymore.
>>746075890Couldn't hack it in the indie scene with his shitty baby game so now he has to come crawling back sucking TPC cock for a job, lel. At least he's not actively ruining the game side of things. Still pretty pathetic. I remember he got kicked out of Game Freak lowkey because /vp/ and 2chan wouldn't stop shitting on him and blame him for the failure of Sword and Shield being so ugly. He tried to fight back on Twitter by liking posts defending that gen. Inb4 some fag says James is based for making Gen 5 shitmons.
>>746077673based.but he still wins, he gets payed for drawing shitmons.
sad news
>>746075890Why do we hate him? For being white?
But the art is the only thing gen8 has for itself?
Obstagoon was his only truly dogshit contribution.
>Gets hired by GameFreak>Designs the single greatest Pokemon in the franchise>Doesn't contribute to anything else ever>Leaves
>>746075890things must be dire for GF to look to a foreigner dead company, dead series
>>746078124Gen 8 pokemon are almost all utter garbage
He has more hits than misses, thoughbeit.
Based. Swsh is the best looking pokemon game.
>>746078569>>746078706He's so inconsistent.Sometimes he gives us fantastic designs like Golurk and Phantumps lines and then he can also make complete garbage like Vanillite
at least the trainers actually looked like pokemon characters versus whatever the FUCK scarlet and violet was trying to do
>>746078706He was art director of gen 8, he approved all the garbage designs from that gen
>>746075890Have you seen how awful the art direction was in gen 9 when he wasn't around? That guy was the one thing saving 3D pokemon, i'm glad he's back
>>746078706Golurk, the poison dragon, and centascorch make up for every other bad design he made
>>746078706The ice cream isn't nearly as bad as the more recent abominations. I'd say even the gen 5 ghost golem is worse
>>746078862>Approved my wives Dragapult and Cinderace.I kneel turner-san
>>746078706Obstagoon is so fucking ugly I would love to kill him
>>746075890>foreigner>sword and shieldfuck nofuck nono no no no no
>>746078862I disagree. A lot of the trainers look like they are trying too hard at being memorable. Unique, sure, but it feels really out of place when you eventually see the same character model again compared to a design that's less eye catching.
>>746078081To many, it's because of the Pokemon he designed. But he made Golurk, so I can't hate him.
>>746075890I liked the human designs in Sword.
is this why the kids in the games aren't sexy anymore
>>746079558
>>746078706How do you get hired as a designer and then only design a couple pokemon per game? What's he even being paid to do for the other 99% of the time?
>>746079528More hits than misses imoIt's not like the other designers were much better than him
>>746079807Sitting around. Doesn't matter, they have infinity money.
>>746080134Pokemon game budgets are notoriously tight
>>746078640What about the human designs?
>>746079807Maybe anon, get this, his job isn't primarily "Pokémon Designer", that's just something that various members of the wider dev team can contribute to
>>746080563>literal whataboutismnobody ever claimed the modern pokemon fan was smart
>>746075890He won't be working on Pokemon.He's not at Game Freak.He's not even at The Pokemon Company.He's at shitty TPC International that doesn't have any say, or create anything.
>>746079807That's what I'm wondering
One thing I don't see talked about as often is how shitty the protagonist designs have gotten after SWSH
>>746079807...? many people design pokemonwhat is it with /v/ and not understanding how pokemon development works
also why are people being stupid again? he did mons for SV and he was already outside TPC long before that
>>746080865How can you be too retarded to understand his simple post?
they brought james back because legends gaylord is nextgamefreak is skipping pokemerica
>>746075890Is he responsible for the sexy girls? I want the one responsible with the sexy girls because there was a very clear lack of them in S&V
>>746079528Phantum/Trevenant are great and I don't mind the ice creams but holy shit there are so many bad ones in there
>>746075890Yeah cause new Pokemon games were really going to suddenly stop being shit without one guy.
>>746077673No matter how many faggy undertones you add to it, most indies wish they had the budget and security that James did.
>>746078706Poipole is CUTE!The YuGiOh dragon is also cool I guess
>>746078706>Icecream cones and obstagoon.Fifty lashes and five years of hard labour.
Hmm I guess I'll buy SwSh
>>746075890GrossGen 8 had the worst dex of the entire series and terrible human designs to boot. Hope he isn't in charge of anything important
>>746078862swooshie is the game that introduced hideous NPCs
