>Earlier this month I spoke to Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda, producer on Sun and Moon, as well as Shigeru Ohmori, director on Sun and Moon, over the phone. Naturally, I had to ask all about the amazing Pokémon designs they had revealed thus far.
>Fun fact: Jangmo-o, the valiant warrior Pokémon, was the first critter designed for the latest generation:
>Jangmo-o was not, however, the most fun animal Game Freak had the pleasure of designing. That honor is reserved for none other than Alolan Exeggutor, with its incredibly long neck and goofy multiple heads.
>“When the designers first came up with the idea, the background is that the sun in Alola is so strong, that [Exeggutor] just keeps growing and growing,” Ohmori said.
>I asked the developers if they designed creatures like Alolan Exeggutor just to mess or troll with people, and Game Freak collectively laughed. I was told that they felt it was important to have some fun with the designs because it was a special occasion.
>“For the 20th anniversary, we wanted to have a lot of special surprises…we wanted a funny element,” Ohmori explained. “At the same time, we had to find a balance of cool ones, serious ones. We looked at the Alola region as a whole and thought about that ecosystem.”
