>>29658384This really shows just how different Ohmori and Masuda are.
Ohmori loves things that actually change up the formula: PokeRide instead of HMs, Trials instead of Gyms, Battle Royale and Festival Plaza to act as new ways for players to interact.
Meanwhile, Masuda loves things that are the same or similar to things we've already gotten, or things that don't take any risks. Refresh taking the place of Amie, and the Rotom dex to hold your hand because kids are idiots with no attention span.
It really highlights the different design philosophies they have.
