While Gamefreak tampers with his designs, what is he thinking?
>>58411993>gets pissed off at Masuda for... reasonswho knows, who cares, he betrayed Pokemon
>>58411993What do you mean "tampers with his designs", he has the final say and all signs point towards his own art skills seriously decaying
>>58412042Masuda burned way too much good will with basically having a free artist for the franchise. Sugi put in over a decade more work into this shit than he should've, but the fact his game flopped shows Masuda had zero remorse for abusing that relationship
>>58412128Sugimori not art directing is like Masuda not composing, what are you talking about.
>>58411993Money and 11 year old pussy
>>58412042Masuda was holding the franchise back.
>>58412720he literally brought it to its peak
>>58412393Yeah nowadays that the franchise is stabilized. Even then it still uses Sugimori's final designs for the first ~500 Pokemon. Masuda already stepped down from composing everything by Gen II, Go Ichinose is responsible for like half the the franchise's beloved tracks while Sugimori was the unifying artistic lens the series saw up to Gen V, coincidentally the start of when the leaks would say he started getting fed up with Masuda's bullshitVisual art is much more important to the general masses than the audio is. The audio is important, but for Pokemon the average joe is going to point to the monster design Sugimori was responsible for before Masuda's compositions as the main reason for this franchise's success. You genuinely can't fucking argue otherwise. The real significance for Masuda's influence is the fact he was clearly the only one that really continued to push for Pokemon to even exist, his music is pretty much an afterthought in this conversation
