>>40694978He's a gaijin and he made 'the ice cream Pokemon', so he's been the easiest guy to blame for anything art-related since back when Black and White were still cool to hate. Now that he's art director the criticism is well-placed, because now he's actually responsible for the things people criticize him for. And frankly, given the state of this gen it's hard *not* to blame his direction, although I've never taken issue with the Pokemon he personally designed.
