After around 13 years of playing Pokemon, I'm finally considering dropping the series. I can't believe what I'm reading. It's painfully obvious that Masuda doesn't give a shit about the games or their fanbase. First of all, he contradicts himself. First he says that people who want challenge should play the post-game, and right after that he says that the post-game is easy and half-assed so that casuals wouldn't get frustrated. Another thing is that he doesn't even seem to understand any of the questions or how he answers them. He is asked about optional difficulty levels and he replies that they would make the game too difficult. For fucks sake, OPTIONAL hard difficulty wouldn't make the game too difficult, especially if you also had the possibility to choose easy. Did he even listen to the question? Besides, his typical answer seems to be some variation of "I don't know, haha". He answers most of the questions as if they were some kind of jokes, obviously not realizing that these are real concerns among the fanbase. He actually thinks that people want half-assed and shallow games with no content because "they're busy", and every time when someone asks why something was left out of the game, he just laughs and says "dunno lol", completely ignoring what the fans really want. It's only going to get worse and you know it. It's time for Masuda to leave and be replaced by someone who actually knows what he's doing.
