There's no way this is not damage control.
>It confirms that the game is further detailed than people believe
>adding that it is far more in-depth than Pokémon Emerald & Platinum in terms of change and that the story is twice that of Pokémon Sun & Moon's
At this point, one month left from release, you don't throw shit like this. This is the kind of statement that you do much earlier, at the beginning of hype season, not with one month left. Also, further detailed than people believe? What the fuck? So you're confirming that your market is doing such a shitty job at hyping the last 3ds pokémon game?
I hope they're not lying, because maybe the game will be worth pirating. But I don't trust that the story being TWICE of SM as a good thing. They didn't got SM story right at the first place, you think people want more cutscenes? lol
