The sooner Gamefreak hands him the keys to the wheel, the sooner Pokemon will be good again.

He didn't work on ZA

>>58435175
yeah he worked on 2 games even worse than za

>>58435180
There is no game in existence worse than ZA.

USUM problem is that you need to choose between the Game improvement or the story being worse than SM.
Legends seems to be a passion project and seeing he didn't work there and is there was a cancelled Legends Johto and there is a Legends Galar, so is safe to asume he has a vision unlike people like the ZA director or other people like Diamond or B2W2 director(even though there were good games the director didn't had a vision unlike Morimoto or Masuda gba/DS games)

That's like the easiest choice in the world. Gameplay is way more important than story. USUM is vastly superior to SM overall.

Choosing to make the story worse doesn't really make sense, I doubt it was his decision anyway if he's clearly a gameplay-focused director and PLA had a good story all things considered. He does seem like somebody who wants the story to be more hands off and focus more on key moments than the Masuda/Ohmori cutscenes cutscenes cutscenes approach meaning he has the potential to take Pokemon in the right direction, but we'll have to wait and see

The glow up from USUM to PLA reminds me a lot of the Splatoon Team coming from New Super Mario Bros. 2. Clearly one game was meant to be a testing ground by giving them slop to work with while the other is letting him flex creative muscles. I'd have loved a Legends Johto under his vision, but putting it off will be for the best so that Legends isn't just the "Iwao subseries"

Maybe if he's in charge of the Nippon MMO game shit might actually be cash, especially if they tie it to PLA's lore and flesh out the old regions in new ways that remakes can't

>>58435122
USUM is what made me swear off mainline Pokemon games altogether and PLA barely even qualifies as a game at all. He should be fired, not promoted.

OP is absolutely right. Iwao is the best. He is the next Morimoto.

Morimoto directed Emerald and HGSS, two of the best games of the classic era (Gen 1-5).

Iwao has directed the two best games of the modern era: USUM and PLA.

Also, both of them are usually battle directors. Meaning that they focus on good battles. Which is the most important aspect of Pokemon (together with region design).

USUM haters are objectively the worst type of Pokemon fans. You wouldn't recognize a good videogame even if it hit you in the face.

There was time when USUM was one of the biggest sources of ridicule on this board(ULTRA CHANGES).
You will not psyop me, I will not fall for your low-effort astroturf you subhuman NIGGERS.

SM was good, at least story wise. USUM was so bad I memoryholed it.
>>
>>58435122
he must fix u-necrozma and zygarde-c and make them whole, permanently
peak designs wasted as shallow battle contrivances

That's because this board is full of retards like yourself.

Nice meme retard

He's really desperate for attention

>>58437013
Thank you for bumping this wonderful thread

Another day of Iwaofag and the guy calling Masuda a top 3 composer of all time expressing their lolcow-tier opinions. PokemOnlies are pathetic, play other games
>>
>>58437070
>Iwaofag
There must be AT LEAST 2 Iwaofags on veepee. The guy who made this whole thread, and myself.

your pic should've been CHADmimoto
>>
>>58438605
Iwao is literally a younger Morimoto tho
>>
>>58438605
I cannot believe Masuda only gave this guy two games because he mogged him so hard that he didn't want to be embarrassed
>>
>>58438706
he had literally racked up a reputation in the company for having a big vision and scope with his games, he'd totally drown in the switch eras time crunch
>>
>CUTSCENES: The Game, now with a more annoying Rotom Dex
>Pokemon Tech Demo Version

fuck an Iwao, bring back Morimoto or give Tani a try at a full game.
>>
>>58436345
>I doubt it was his decision anyway
For both of his games to feature an evil legendary that's threatening the world that you need to defeat, compared to Ohmori who has always made the legendary your friend, I think the director can mold the story too
>>
>>58436413
whats there to even dislike about USUM other than Lusamine not fusing and Roto Loto bugging you?
Is that enough to consider USUM terrible games? Every other problem is a holdover of SM.
>>
>>58435122
USUM sucks but he was forced to work off Ohmori's skeleton
PLA is actually his game, top to bottom, and it's great so I'm inclined to believe he's a good director.
