>>41325413Everyone keeps saying he would do something.
I don't think he would. I think we all know all signs point to GF shitting the bed with development, and being unable to change it either by their own merit, or with the timeframe alloted by the people wanting to push the next big wave of pokemon merch. That's something Iwata wouldn't have had any control over at this point in time, if he were still alive.
If he were able to do something, I'm seeing him stepping in, pushing Masuda to the side, and doing another gen 2. Just like the gen 2 beta, there are a fuckton of diamonds in the rough here. Not going to lie, the gyms are honestly some of the best things to date. I love the feeling of going into a stadium and battling in front of a cheering crowd. Goes a long way in making pokemon battling feel..real, as well. It's such a huge thing, and gym leaders are such huge celebrities, it only makes sense.
