Masuda is a lying piece of shit trying to save face because of all the complaints and losses in preorders. They still made jerk rivals well after the graphics improved. Pic related, Silver in HGSS, and Gladion are proof of this.
Reminder that Masuda also lied about GF always trying to change the core game with every new release.
>>36803616>Masuda is scared to death of doing anything that could possibly be considered norm breaking or unconventional. It's like he's being held hostage by toddlers. Your games are shit, just do something, anyhting. LegPee barely qualifies as a game and these two paragraphs is why Pokemon has sucked these last few yearsWhich is also why we have a shitton of Lillie merch and almost no Gladion merch.
