Gen III era Masuda
>pressured by the success of the first two gens, he busted his ass and worked hard to make sure the games would be great and continue the legacy. Was so stressed he had to go to the hospital. Also had the idea of Diamond and Pearl planned out already.
Gen V era Masuda
>takes a different approach on the series, and "broke down absolutely everything the games had in the past and tried to rebuild it." Focuses on storytelling more. Much less pressured compared to III and IV.
Gen VI era Masuda
>now visits the countries that will become the basis for the next Pokemon region, and attempts to capture the theme of that locale through sightseeing. Some hints of this also remain in-game, where the protagonist is a Japanese kid who moved to these new regions.
