>>56602894>>56602997This isn't even talking about the games. People are bringing up Turo/SV, and none of that is true. I read the entire thing this is taken from. They're talking about some spinoff movie/TV thing.
There is a meeting between the producer/director/staff of this spinoff adaptation project. They discuss the setting and characters of the project with Game Freak staff. It's set in Kanto, aimed at adults, and features the original 151, and seems like a pile of trash in story. They talk about details like a character is slandered online on twitte. He gets depressed after cyberbullying and suicide comes up. Yes, this is a Pokemon story. They want to show the "dark side of social media." Sugimori complains that this has nothing to do with the Pokemon world. If you want to talk about social media, go ahead, but make sure it is about Pokemon at least. This story would be no different from one set in real life where someone opened a TCG booster pack and got a rare card and got cyber bullied. You need to justify why it's set in Pokemon world.
The blurb we're reading is the brief discussion the Game Freak guys have AFTER the TV/movie staff has left.
The story is about investigating someone's death, hence the "care about the truth behind someone's death." The protagonist of this story barely ever appears, hence the "I want the protagonist to appear more."
Iwao's complaints about the writers are directed at this side project's writers, not the game writers. He says the staff here just listened to us, but he'd rather confront the writers of this shitshow personally. They are trying to get a female audience with this, hence the social media crap. There's a story bit of homo romance between two characters named Shin and Gil, who have misunderstanding gay drama. That's the "bromance" part they hate.
This project was canceled. None of this is about the games. It's just some shit adaptation that no one liked.
It's literally nothing you're making a big deal about.
