>>39197934its alpha negative. A man who has power and an ego, but is also an absolute douchebag. Were he alpha positive he'd leverage his position to ensure the best positive result. But he's not. He's a vgm composer who only got into his position because everyone else left and in moonland they reward seniority over actual competence. As long as this prick is in power the series will never get better but because japan subscribes to the philosophy of just "take it in the ass" he's not going to lose his position until a game fails hard enough for (yakuza) investors to give him the red slip. And of course he knows that. Ensuring his shovelware garbage gets sales is the job of leveraging the brand and keeping the shills happy.
The series is doomed because this fuckwit doesn't give a shit and would sooner have resources redirected to a bog standard jrpg that they don't even have a fucking name for. All I can really say is if you really want to buy it anyway because pokemon but still want to see a change in the series, buy it used so that gamefreak and nintendo don't get your money.
