>>58314715He worked at Pedo Freak. Doesn’t matter if he doesn’t anymore, once a Pedo Freaker always a Pedo Freaker
>>58314715I don't dislike him, but it's hard not to associate himself with the decrease in quality of the games from Gen VI and after. On the one hand, I respect him and his ability to manage the franchise and oversee the development of multiple games simultaneously, going from RS to FRLG to DP and I do respect both his compositions and the old drive he once had to keep pushing the games to greater heights, he clearly had a certain vision for DP (that served as the foundation for some of the best games in the series and took it into the territory of Gods which fans had only theorized about or memed before) and BW's story, but on the other hand, it seemed that after BW he very much lost that vision.Game Freak's failure to significantly and meaningfully staff up as the games went into the third dimension fully meant the games have essentially been dragging their feet for years, it took until 3 years ago to get models with fully modeled mouths and eyes and each game seems to be a beta test to lay the foundation for something to come, which itself becomes the foundation of something to come so nothing feels truly complete or realized (XY experimented with 3D which led to Let's Go experimenting with HD for SwSh which experimented with limited open areas for PLA which experimented with open worlds for SV).And that's to say nothing of the sheer amount of content that gets cut leading to half baked releases like XY or base SM. To say nothing of the mindset GF had during Gen VI which implied they didn't feel like putting their all in these games in the face of the growing mobile games market, which laughs in the face of interviews during HGSS where Morimoto felt he'd gotten greedy with the sheer amount of shit he got to put in the games.I don't hate Masuda, but it feels like he created this pessimistic environment for GF where doing the bare minimum with as few staff as possible is acceptable. And unfortunately, they were rewarded for doing so massively.
>>58314776>I don't dislike him, but it's hard not to associate himself with the decrease in quality of the games from Gen VI and after.Then why is Gen VI higher quality than Gen V?
>>58314788why are you trolling outside of /b/
His dental care
>>58314902you should be asking >>58314776 that, since his entire post is obviously lying
>>58314731typhlosion lost
>>58314915Elaborate. Where am I lying in my post?The teraleaks showed a ton of content that has been cut. Interviews imply a pessimistic mindset during ORAS' development due to the advent of mobile gaming.If you believe the games from Gen VI and beyond to be better then sure, you're entitled to your opinion. But the vast majority of fans will agree that the games of old were made far more passionately and far more ambitiously.

>>58314715Unovatranny Schizophrenia convinced me that he's the most evil man on earth even though he constructed the gen I worship.
>>58314715I actually like Masuda a lot. He created Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos. He also directed Crystal, FRLG and LGPE.Peak Pokemon dev.
>>58314955>>The teraleaks showed a ton of content that has been cutWhat exactly was cut?
>>58314715Probably his idea to make TM's single use again. Single use TMs are bullshit.
>>58314715He realized that he'll never make everybody happy and gave up completely.
>>58314917Why do you seethe so much about Pedo Freak being called out?
>>58314715"Haha what if we made REALLY COOL THINGS and then REMOVED THEM FROM THE NEXT GAMES???"
HE ruined what should've been his magnus opus.
>>58314776Good post. Please don't reply to obvious yawnfaggotry though.
>>58314715people blame him for the enshitification of the franchisebut the real culprit is this jew right here>demands new pokemon every new core game so they can sell more useless toys>demands specific pokemon design language so they can sell more useless toys>demands short (by industry standards) game development time so they can sell useless toys more frequentlyto be fair masuda isnt completely free from faultpokemon became more like generic anime under his guidance>anime plotpoints>increasing exposition every generation, peaking at gen 5>more cutscenes to deliver shitty exposition
>>58314715He was unfairly blamed for something Ishihara didn't have the balls to say.
