>>58408365MASUDA WAS BANNED FROM MAKING POKEMON GAM-
>>58408372That thing barely qualifies as a game. Same with BDSP
>>58408372>MASUDA WAS BANNED FROM MAKING POKEMON GAM-
>>58408380>give him the low budget remakes to shut him up
>>58408379>it doesn't count because reasons despite it being included in Game Freak's main development pipeline back then
>>58408372Both were remakes, and he previously directed FRLG and DPPt.There wasn't much to direct.
>>58408372>>58408380Both these games served their purpose in letting newgen and toddlers get into pokemon with the classic formula. There's a lot of kids out there that enjoyed these games. That's all Masuda needed to do
hello I would like to return to the era of masuda's absolute dominance please
>>58408365Sounds like bullshit or grossly overexaggerated/misinterpreted
Remember the “BW2 megas were scrapped because gen 5 got bad western reception” “”””””leak”””””” that was completely made up and Centro reposted because he’s a gullible retard?
>>58408365doesn't sound like he was banned but him and Sugimori as a duo decided to step back and let the new gen take up the reigns, see picrelwe're now so far into the future that picrel should be thinking about moving on too
>>58408397Hi, joe!
>>58408399Centro is just stirring the pot
Centro loves to sensationalize info and make it inflammatory for traction (the "is GF homophobic?" and "Cyrus has autism" posts lives in my mind rent free) so I want to see what the actual documents said cause I imagine it's more mundane than he's presenting it.
>>58408365i love how everything the non shill pokemon fans have said for years came out to be true "pokemon only cares about pr now""no its not you just grew old the franchise is still the same""legends z-a is woke""no its not youre just a bigot" (gen 10 gyms inspired by woke ideology
NO ONE COULD OPPOSE HIM
>>58408446BASED
>>58408441>i love how everything the non shill pokemon fans have said for years came out to be trueyeahit’s almost as if this “leak” was made up by them or something
>>58408412yes because he proved to be even worse at making games than Masuda. who is directing LZA btw? it doesn't seem to be Iwao, he actually made a good game before.
>>58408365Prioritized PR over gameplay and yet here we are with games of stagnant (shit) quality
>>58408380LGPE wasn't a mainline and BDSP wasn't even by GF. Both were probably allowed as his last hurrah, a 'Worst of' collection if you would.
>>58408475>LGPE wasn't a mainlineYes it was.>BDSP wasn't even by GFHe still directed it.>Both were probably allowed as his last hurrahOr this is just a made up leak by a retard who forgot LGPE and BDSP existed.
>>58408457>yes because he proved to be even worse at making games than Masuda. who is directing LZA btw? it doesn't seem to be Iwao, he actually made a good game before.Tochigi is directing Legends ZA, a newbie. They're trying to train multiple directors as it said in their slides. Looks like the Legends games are their way to do that
>>58408411Centro also made up the entire "leak" of the meeting where OLM and TPCI decided to get rid of Ash
>>58408479LGPE is literally set in a separate timeline. I'm pretty sure even GF treat it as a spinoff.>>58408479>b-but he still directed itNot as part of gamefreak.
>>58408419Obviously
>>58408479lets go was 7 years agobdsp was a low budget remakethe point is that he is now banned from directing new generational pokemon games
>>58408501>LGPE is literally set in a separate timelineSo ORAS is a spin-off? Stop being a fucking retard.>I'm pretty sure even GF treat it as a spinoff.It's been called a mainline game by GF multiple times.
>>58408522>lets go was 7 years agoXY was was 12 years agoWhich is a higher number dumbfuck, 7 or 12?>the point is that he is now banned from directing new generational pokemon gamesThat's not what it says.
>>58408479>Or this is just a made up leak by a retard who forgot LGPE and BDSP existedWhatever helps you sleep at night man, just don't forget the meds.
>>58408530>he's seething because he forgot to consider LGPE existed while making his shitty fake leakkek
gay thread
Tyrant lying fugly megajew
Merriku threads will never be the same
>>58408546To be fair who even considers LGPE? It's mainline Game Freak, but people were ADAMANT we'd be getting another Let's Go when even Legends got a successor
>>58408661>To be fair who even considers LGPE?Game Freak
>>58408441>Masuda got into a spat with Sugimori in the early 2010s, who accused him of caring too much about PR and not the substance of the games>This culminates in Masuda agreeing to not be at the helm of a new generation anymore>This proves "Pokemon only cares about PR now" actuallyThe leaked slide literally implies that the internal shitstorm from this drama resulted in Masuda getting ousted from directing new generations for being too PR-obsessed. You niggers are so illiterate it's unreal.
>>58408670You're making a leap to assume they course corrected away from PR-focused design.
The right bug in the wrong anus mista
>>58408677Sugimori is still staying at GF to design, meanwhile Masuda has fucked off to TPC to create marketable theme parks. But go on.
>>58408664Let's go had soulful cutscenes and is best game on switch
>>58408732That doesn't say anything about Game Freak pivoting away from branding and PR focus to more fun-focused design. The Wild Area wasn't fun to play, it felt designed specifically for trailers. GMax wasn't fun to play, especially the raids, but it looked really cool in trailers and the anime. SV co-op was not fun to play, but it lent itself to the sizzle reels. Blueberry was marketed with old starters in the wild, but they were not fun or intuitive to unlock. The entirety of XY was better suited for trailers than gameplay. Sun and Moon are cool, but the minigame gyms and extensive cutscenes work better as trailer material.When was the pivot back to fun?
>>58408365>Gen1-2-3-4 being the most appreciated by fans>BW flops>GameFreak puts all the blame on Masuda and decide what fans consider the Golden Age of Pokemon is Masuda's shitty kingdom that needs to be overthrown>GameFreak runs Pokémon's reputation into the ground more and more with every new Gen.Wow, it's almost as if Masuda, despite all his faults, was actually the only person capable to direct Pokémon games decently.Imagine being so out of touch like current Game Freak to think they're actually handling the games better nowadays.Considering the current state of things, Masuda was only right in keeping everything under control and not allowing idiotic ideas that chase current volatile trends to make the cut.
>>58408776>The entirety of XY was better suited for trailers than gameplayThen why is the gameplay better than BW and DPPt?
>>58408365IT'S TIME FOR SATOSHI (THE DEV) TO COME BACK ISN'T IT?
>>58408776You seem to insist that your experiences are universal, but it isn't
>>58408670PR is a mistranslation anon. They mean he was too focused on responding to criticisms of his games (Mt Coronet, Unova's all new mons etc...) instead of the game itself
Why not let Sugimori direct a gen?
>>58408811I see. I'd still argue that responding to criticisms is part of public relations work, but it still proves that >>58408441 is a dumb nigger
>>58408807It's not universal, but it is correct
Centro is just straight up writing fanfiction now.He's catering to what you wanna hear so that you like him.Where is the document that demonstrates what he says? Nowhere.Masuda probably just fucked off to a higher position because of longevity which is what is done in every Japanese company where the creator isn't the company itself.Ohmori will fuck off next sooner or later, probably after gen 11 and the cycle will repeat
>>58408530Wouldn't surprise me, Centro is too busy being upset that he couldn't profit off being the source of leaks for ZA.A lot of big leakers pull this shit for whatever game they tend to leak, where they start writing company fan fiction when a more public leak makes it so they can't drip feed info about the new game or upcoming patch to donors.
APOLOGIZE
>Masuda tyranny comes to an end>franchise immediately goes to shitWtf I love Masuda now
>>58408957I cant believe he was a hero all this time
>>58408957Did he put bugs in Sugimori's anus?
>Masuda tyranny comes to an end>franchise immediately gets betterWtf I hate Masuda now
Say what you will about Masuda but I've never outright hated his games. Ohmori on the other hand
>>58408424>"is GF homophobic?"is he wrong tho
>>58408365they should have just locked masuda in a room, told him to make music, and ignore anything else he does.
>>58408365Someone, spread this fake fanfic to the Japanese, now.
>>58408365Why doesn't Masuda just use 'ecker then
You hated the wrong man, and it costed us everything.
>joked about bugs in Merric's anus>in actuallity, it was Masuda's anus getting pounded by Ohmori's bugs.
>>58408365>MISTAAAAAAAAAAAAH MEEEEEEERRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKKKUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!
>>58408365Filepath anyone?
>>58411983MISTAAAAAA
>Content shifted from being focused on funWhen do they plan on getting around to fixing this? It's been a while.
>>58408365[Great news]
I call bs. The older games were more fun then this new shit. So it has nothing to do with fun
>>58412229They kicked him out because they wanted to have full control of the decisions and make cheap cash grab and fill the games with dei
