>>36528007I was actually surprised with how well Takahashi could fit a Takahashi game within the broader Nintendo envelope (since we know he got story feedback from Nintendo), so I would be plused about this. Core Pokemon RPGs just runs the risk of being Star Wars, with a heavier-handed emphasis on brand image.
