If Koji Nishino ever gets cancelled, will Game Freak defend him or throw him under the bus? Would you stand up for the main level designer and NPC trainer team designer for the first 4 gens?
uh oh typoo melty
Nishino, Sugimori and Go put more effort into making Pokemon not fucking suck than Masuda ever did
>>58773364>NPC trainer team designer for the first 4 gensThat explains so much
>>58773411kino
>>58773411>both their pokemon are malethis better just be a bug/oversight
>>58773582it's there for plausible deniability
>>58773582eda... is actually eddy
>>58773364>someone getting cancelled>in japanunless they get arrested (like the act age author), nobody really cares about shit like this in japanand I think this author started a new manga after he got released too
>>58773380>Nishino, SugimoriNishino's done fuck all and Sugimori's been phoning it in since Gen 2 out of spite for not being able to draw porn of underage Quinty. Meanwhile, Masuda stepped up during Gen 2 when everyone else was too chicken shit to do anything and has tard wrangling Game Freak for decades until Ohmori when running to Nintendo like a little bitch causing Masuda to get kicked upstairs, Yes, Masuda's a brain-rotten jackass now and even back in Gen 2 he barely knew that he was doing, but managing Game Freak is full of retards, how the fuck do you manage tthem?
>>58773364>>58773411Did he write the npc dialogues too?
>>58773921He's always on the battle side of development so... I guess? If he did both level design and NPC trainer teams for earlier gens, it stands to reason he also wrote their dialogues.
>>58773968>worked on Map Design from RGBY to DPPt>maps are clever and interesting>didn't work on BW1's Map Design>maps are linear and boring>worked on BW2's Map Design>new maps are clever and interesting again>didn't work on Map Design for XY onwards>maps are linear and boring againHoly shit it was him all along? The only person at GF who understood good map design was him?
>>58774102Now THAT is a proper end-game strength puzzle.
>>58773582NPC trainers' pokemon are by default the same gender as the trainer. I assume in case of double battles the trainer is still internally assigned a gender in the same way as other trainers even though they represent two people that are treated as a single trainer for gameplay purposes.
>>58773968>the sanitization creeping into the series more and more the less he gets to work on the series
>>58773792Unironically agree. Masuda being kicked off mid-development of XY truly does say it all, doesn’t it? It’s the last game that truly feels like it belongs to his era, but it’s unfinished and lacking.
>>58773792>Nishino's done fuck allHe may not be someone like Tajiri or Masuda or Ohmori or Sugimori who often get interviews talking about their vision for the franchise, but you can very much feel his impact on the series when he's at the helm doing the nitty gritty work of making the routes and cities we move around in, the wild pokemon we encounter and the npc trainers we fight against >>58774102 >>58773411If anything it makes Nishino more important than Masuda and Sugimori since his decisions are the ones that affect our minute-to-minute gameplay the most, unlike music and art
