You're all whining that saying we've been abandoned to the "I-phone gamers" after this Italian interview came out, but you're all being too negative. Stop and critically think for a second

>The older better players who would appreciate the battle frontier are the same ones who battle online competitively
>These same players are spending a lot of their time coordinating battles online
>Smogon with its tiers and general organization plus other online sites (reddit, here, serebii, etc) can all organize competitive battles
>Masuda knows that the only thing needed on their side was online playability
>He left the post game in our hands so we can constantly change it and always be happy
>The only thing we'd really gain from the frontier and other post game shit is 3D effects and in game collectibles
>Literally autistic if that's what you care about, the battling is still around us
