Would Shigeki Morimoto be capable of saving Pokémon from becoming utter shit? He was a lead designer of Black and White 2 as well as director of Pokémon Emerald and HeartGold & SoulSilver, these are three of the best games in the entire franchise
Can he do it? Can he save us from Masuda and Turner?

No. No one can make the game Pokemon deserves when everything is on a 1-year development cycle.

I think he would be a better director for making a fun game. I don't know if he has the vision to drag this series out of the mire and make something truly spectacular. I'm not sure any director at GF has that ability though. There is clearly something not right about that company (besides the declining taste level in mon designs, I mean) that can't be explained away as Masuda's indifference.

I genuinely think the issue with the series is short dev cycle combined with it moving onto more advanced hardware. That's not a good combination ever for a series.

This, but if given the time, sure.

And since he's also been in charge of the battle shit he'd probably come up with better gimmicks than muh beeg pokuhmon if given more than 22 seconds to think about it.

But anon, the reason why those games were good was because he was coming off from the foundation the Masuda games made.

Building on older things doesn't mean the older thing is better. In fact that's why you replace older things when you do - it's not longer good if it ever was to begin with.

I've got three mindsets about this.
1. If the director is the largest factor to determine a game's quality, then I don't know. His previous titles, while both excellent, were still based on Masuda's/Tajiri's foundation, so nothing he's done demonstrates if he does or doesn't have the skillset to oversee an entire new set games, from concept, to scenario, to map design, balancing and new pokemon.
2. These games are inherently collaborative projects made by a team of people, so even if Morimoto were director again, he'd most likely still have a lot of the same staff that made the last several games.
3. Basically this >>40460152

More like they're not entirely correct. It's a one year release cycle now, not dev cycle. doesn't change the fact that it took them 6 years to make a Game boy game and even 4 wasn't enough for a DS game by Masuda's own admission (as he stated in an interview on the run up to Platinum that it had stuff D/P didn't have time for despite it being delayed a year already). 4 years at most is obviously not enough time for a full fledged fully content returned game.

As shown by the fact they felt the need to remove half of the only characters who matter this time.
