>>39376224That's where things get complicated. For as flawed as Sun and Moon were, they at least had some decent ideas. Team Skull was a fun play on the enemy team grunts always having the same 2-3 underleveled shitmons, Alolan forms are a genuniely great idea, and while the story was way too intrusive for my liking, I think a more character driven plot better fits the series than "evil villain wants to use mascot legendary for evil deeds". It's not as though he's completely new to the series either, as he was a map designer on Gens 3 and 4 (which makes it all the more confusing that Alolan was such a poorly designed region)
It's possible that Masuda's holding him back from changing up too much, but I think his biggest problem is just inexperience.
