Is he really as bad as people say? It must be hard to oversee the creation of a new region, story, characters, and Pokémon, all while looking to innovate the core gameplay and do it all under tight deadlines and budget.
>>58967520I don't think he is the sole reason Pokemon has gone downhill, but he is certainly part of the problem.
>Okay Ohmori-sama please make gen 7>Oh okay>Removes dungeons>Removes route design>Removes several features from XY including PSS, the best online system the series ever saw>Turns game into a vehicle for his fetish for troubled home lives>Cements generational battle gimmick by dumping megas>Curses rotom and pokedex designs foreverI'm sure he's not the "only" problem but he's got that reverse midas's touch
>>58967520He has an untrustworthy face.
>>58967520As flawed as the Switch games are, he's done a good job managing the move from handheld to home console development. GF was forced to massively increase the scope of their games and the fact that Pokemon has kept such short dev cycles despite that is impressive.I'll always give GF credit for not falling into the trap of making the same game over and over. Each of Ohmori's games feel distinct from one another, and despite flawed execution, I appreciate how they experiment and try to move the series forward.
>It must be hard to oversee the creation of a new region, story, characters, and Pokémon, all while looking to innovate the core gameplay and do it all under tight deadlines and budget.It is, Masuda could never do it. Ohmori's been doing better since his games actually sell, even if he can't help using the games to vent about his dead parents not loving him enough
>>58967520>It must be hard to oversee the creation of a new region, story, characters, and Pokémon, all while looking to innovate the core gameplayiwao did this with probably half the budget
>>58967632I too would like to give them credit on how much they manage to surprise and impress me just when I think the series literally cannot get any worse, they always have new tricks up their sleeve
>>58967649Well at least it's not as bad as Black and White
>>58967655Gen 7 and 8 are as bad as them and arguably worse in some respects. Gen 9 isn’t so I’ll give hm that.
>>58967649>Thought XY was the worst shit ever when it came out and that the games could only go up from thereThe biggest life lesson I learned from pokemon is that it can always get worse.
>>58967520>Is he really as bad as people say?No, he's worse.
