>>22078165Q:The soundtrack in HeartGold/SoulSilver was completely made anew from the original Gold/Silver, whereas in ORAS the
arrangements were very faithful to the original music and some areas even had music that was made specifically for them.
How come?
A:It's a rather technical matter, we had some limitations whan creating music before but now with the Nintendo 3ds the whole process is a lot easier and we can take full advantage of the potential of the console.
Q:How do you choose what region a Pokemon game takes place in? Do your journeys influence that decision?
What about Italy, is there a chance a future Pokemon game could take place in our peninsula and feature some typical cities and cultural elements?
A:First we choose the theme of the game and then we decide where it will take place.
For example, in X and Y we picked France because of the "beauty" theme (Kalos means beauty in Ancient Greek). We wanted to highlight this aspect seeing as this was our first game on 3DS.
In Black and White the theme was "union" so there were a lot of different people and cities, all united together (that's where the name Isshu/Unova comes from).
Perhaps in the future we'll find a theme which could be represented by Italy, who knows... *laughter*
