MASUDA: Hoenn was like most regions. Too many Pokemon, and not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution.
TAJIRI: Genocide.
MASUDA: But at random, dispassionate, fair to shitmon and shillmon alike, and I would block the entry of older Pokemon into Hoenn. They called me a madman. And what I predicted came to pass; the death of PokeMania.
TAJIRI: Congratulations. You're a prophet.
MASUDA: I'm a survivor.
TAJIRI: Who wants to murder trillions.
MASUDA: With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers, and half of all Pokemon would cease to exist. I call that... balance.
TAJIRI: And then what?
MASUDA: I finally rest... and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills.
