>>36882002>The problem is that i'm pretty sure Masuda's faggotry was a viral thing and it has most likely infected the entire staffNo it didn't. Takao Unno and Shigeki Morimoto are the ones to "oppose" that. Unfortunately, Masuda is the second in command before Tsunekazu Ishihara, so what he says is what stays 'till the very end, even if those two mentioned are also veteran members of the team.
If he says "i rather let the younger staff to try to do a game, and don't intervene", it happens...and boy it happened, and here we are.
>>36882002>People bitching about Ohmori being as much bad, if not worse, than MasudaSee, you guys clearly didn't read the interviews to Ohmori in the OR/AS guidebook, so you don't know the full picture.
Ohmori knows what he wants for a game (and yeah, waifu faggotry is part of it), but he DOES want to do a farily decent JRPG with pokemon. What transpired with OR/AS was a single-year development, and also a lot of "Counseling" by Masuda himself, and nobody else, to tell Ohmori what to do (the answers have a clear indication that Ohmori was only allowed to ask him, which is huge bullshit)
Ohmori isn't being allowed to do his thing, fully, at least. He constantly has to be "examinated" by his "coach" (Read: Immediate BOSS), before passing the projects, which in itself, is the everyday's routine on japanese businesses. The interviews, both japanese and american, in the OR/AS era, shed a light on how much saying the boss has on it. They're really revealing.
If anything, he should had stepped down years ago. What worries me is that he tries to still coach Ohmori and tell the others what to do even retired, because of the "wise elder" ideology of japan. I really, really hope they tell him to fuck-off when he steps down, and not let him even touch another pokemon game-development in any shape of form.
He needs to go. He needs to disappear.
