>Masuda got fired because he focused on public relationships instead of fun when doing games
>>58407044And yet his games are more fun than anything Ohmori has shit out. Curious.
>>58407044so that's why all his games were shit
>>584070441. He didn't get fired he got promoted2. He still directed games after like LGPE and BDSP3. By PR they likely mean that he focused too much on responding to the criticisms the games media had for his games like BW suddenly simplifying dungeons after DP's complaints or XY going Kanto nostalgia overdrive after BW's complaints
>>58407067Kicked upstairs so he doesn't have any real authority.
>>58407067>he got promoted to "only work in some remakes and never touch a new game again"!
Masuda got promoted to current Miyamoto status, he can talk and is supposed to be a big shot but nobody cares about what he says anymore
Wait, is this a real quote?Who is talking shit about Masuda exactly?
>>58407044>Masuda and Sugimori got into a fist fight
>>58407067Funny then how nobody likes the feces gens they shit out after booting him
>>58407067In japan, getting promoted out of a powerful position into a desk jockey is being fired.
Where to read this in full?
>>58407078>>58407083its still a promotion, he has more control over the direction of the franchise than ever. his promotion was similar to Miyamoto's as >>58407104 says
>>58407044ok but where is this from?
>>58407044sounds like he got fired because he had an argument with Sugimori during XY, which is way more juicy and probably also the reason Sugimori stopped drawing the official art after Gen 6 lol
>>58407044Well it worked lel considering we got 3 decent gens out of Masuda compared to Ohmori’s 0.
>some of Pokemon's most beloved games were during an era Masuda took controlSo he's based
>>58407054Ohmori too
>>58407044This doc saved so much face for Junichi, basically confirms the franchise went downhill because they took it out of his control
Tpc still think gen 5 was a flop
>>58407044Well it's not exactly like their design philosophy changed when he stopped making games, if anything it got worse
>>58407044Team Masuda or Team Sugimori?
>>58408256Team Masuda, Sugimori has the merit of inventing the iconic Pokémon art style (which is derivative of Toriyama's) but many of the most beloved Pokémon designs aren't even his own.He's a good artist, but directing a videogame is much more than just art (besides, art direction of Gen9 onwards games is shit)
Masuda got fried
Why could Sugimori go full autist on Masuda and banish him to TPC but he suddenly can't do this now?Sounds like nepotism, Masuda hurt one of his friends or stopped following Sugimoris bullshit to the line and he sperged outNow the games are shit but Sugimori or Sugimoris friend is happy so fuck it
>>58408984>many of the most beloved Pokémon designs aren't even his own.This. Nishida made Pokemon what it is today.
>>58407044>Unnecessary people and favourite people were createdYeah, because that isn't happening now that Masuda is gone. Game Freak is just full of competent people deserving of their post since he left.The games totally exude a feeling of competence, deserved roles and smart choices within the company.Oh, what's this? Lumiose City is an entire single object and they removed a lot of detail because the current team can't into LOD modelling?So competent, guys. It was Masuda who fucked up, definitely.
>>58407734that's not Japan, that's just corporate
>>58409102>Oh, what's this? [FANFIC]every time
>>58409213go ahead and explain the image of Lumiose's LOD model being the entire city geographyexplain why the test versions of ZA had actually modelled buildings with windows and balconies but they got replaced by boxes with no volume and sloppy textures of building fronts that sometimes don't even connect with each other or cut at corners or borders for the final version
>>58407067>1. He didn't get fired he got promotedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle
>>58409243> go ahead and explain the image of Lumiose's LOD model being the entire city geographygo ahead and prove it’s a LOD modelgo ahead and prove how it’s used in the game
>>58407782ChatGPT
>>58408125I've been saying this for years but Masuda understood the appeal of the games and their social aspects much more than anyone else at GameFreak, which is why he was next in line after Tajiri.
>>58408125How did he understand the social aspects more than the new directors?
>>58407789>it's as [post that says nobody listens to him] says, he has more power than ever!Anon...?
>>58409255This would be dilbert
why are a bunch of jobless manchildren pretending they know anything about japanese corporate culture?
