GET THESE CUNTS OFF THE GAMES!
LESS FEATURES = SURPRISING, APPARENTLY
>GC: I’ve being looking at the reactions online and everyone seems very keen, except there is concern that new features get added to Pokémon each time and, whether they’re well received or not, they seem to disappear for the next iteration for no obvious reason. Is Dynamax something that’s going to stick around forever? SO: At Game Freak, it really just comes from our desire to surprise the players with new gameplay. Not to do the exact same thing every time but have a new twist on something, that keeps people surprised and enjoying the new style of gameplay. GC: If a feature has been removed – things like Vs. Seeker, Battle Frontier, and so on – is there still a chance they might come back in the future, even if it’s not for this one? SO: I think, if by bringing it back, it would be a surprise in itself or be a new take on the formula I think you might see some things like that happen. For example, in these games, the bike is back, which was gone for a while. In Sun and Moon you could ride on the back of certain pokémon, to get around, but we felt with the Wild Area being so large we wanted to look at what would be the best way to let players get around and very smoothly, without too much trouble. So we brought back the bike, but we also changed it a little bit so it can now go seamlessly over water and we added new things to make it feel like it’s a surprise again.
