>>36343676>the whole process probably forced him to realize that the masses (AKA people who aren't actual Pokemon Fans) only cared about the original 151, which is what led to the Kanto Pandering and lack of effort in Gen 6 onward since the fuckers only want to relive their glory daysWhy do you people keep saying this? People liked Gen 3's new pokemon while the reason for it's dip was due to Gen 2 being underwhelming along with the transition to the GBA was really visually stimulating enough to market. Gen 4 got extremely good reception even with their new pokemon. You can't say people didn't like the lack of Kanto pandering when Gen 5 kept trying to poorly mimic Gen 1 pokemon. And if Masuda cared about the criticisms, he would've cut back on annoying story segments that people hated in Gen 5.
You Unovafags keep blaming the consumers all the time despite the annoying trends in Gen 5 started continued into Gen 6 and 7.
