>>58937192>Masuda wanted to get a game out soon as possible despite crapping the entire 97 build, As much as I hate defending ANY game freak employee, Masada really didn’t a choice. They had already pushed back the deadline the game had to come out. And really the fact that the game needed to be remade basically from scratch is more a reflection of how poorly the production was going already and may be a clue on why Tajiri left..
Masuda was probably the only one at game freak after Tajiri’s departure who was doing any work at all.
