Did you like Masuda prior to Gen 8? Do you like him now? Be honest.

Most of /vp/ has had a special place in hell for Masuda ever since ORAS. The hysteria only proved to be more and more correct as things progressed.

Never liked him, in any interview that I've ever seen him in, he never looked excited about the franchise. Made good music though for the earlier gens, but hes lost his touch there too.

I believe he just doesn't understand his own franchise anymore. Also imagine seeing a company other than your own make a spin off that rakes in millions (Go) and begin to question want people want from your game.

I hate Gen 8 but I can sympathize with Masuda and Game Freak, it's mobile gaming and just games in general that have changed over the years.

I don't know enough about GameFreak to say whether I like him or not. The games he's directed have kind of been a mixed bag where some are great and others are basic. I think that the directors we have now are consistently worse and don't understand fully how to implement social aspects/interactions of Pokemon into the games.

Yeah, even now I can't really bring myself to call him irredeemable. He's directed both good and shit games but the guy used to have an idea of what made the series enjoyable. Bug jokes aside, he's alright. Ohmori though, he should have stuck to map design.

>Did you like Masuda prior to Gen 8?
Yes. As much as I agree with the criticism he got, he was also the head of the franchise at its best and the only one of the original trio that's still actually working.

>Do you like him now?
No, not so much because of Gen 8's flaws(including the dexcut) but because he treated the audience as idiots when addressing the dexcut. It was very disrespectful.

There's a special irony for Unovabortion HQ having a bitter hatred for its director. Even if you only like BW2, it's still very much largely going off his work.
I think he always somewhat missed what made Pokemon special. Him being director coincided with Pokemon having more and more of a focus on stopping evil teams, dicking with legendaries, and bland friend-rivals. I do respect that he tried to get adults back into the franchise with the DS era, though.

Quoted By:

Pointing a finger at Masuda is like holding Giovanni’s grunts accountable for following orders but giving Giovanni a free pass because you don’t see his face that often. Executives aren’t allowed to bare shame, especially not in a Japanese corporation, so all ideas are his, all decisions are Masuda’s, or so you’re led to believe. The things he says even sound like a seventy year old CEO said it, for instance the battle frontier project quote he said about kids with their smart phones. And he’s not about to wink and nudge you when you ask who’s really responsible for the state of the game and imply he’s innocent. Masuda isn’t your enemy, it’s the greedy corporation that runs him.

I hate Masuda if he approved of Pokemon rival Avery. Avery is a shit character that replaced Klara.

I liked him when he was merely a composer.
So Gen 3? Yeah...

He was a better character than Klara. Klara had a better battle theme, but she was an annoying cliche of a character and you’re just a coomer.

No, it was after ORAS dropped that I started to dislike Masuda.

Gen VIII actually lessened that dislike slightly, if only because I could see discomfort on his face when he dropped the dexit bombshell. I don't know what's going on GF exactly, but there's some shenanigans going on there and there's the distinct possibility that Masuda might be getting dragged along for the ride. Or he's coming to the realization that he's a fuckup.

First time I heard of Masuda was when the Masuda method was discovered which I thought was cool. I didn't really have an opinion on him until ORAS fucked up.

By the time I was aware of who Masuda was he causing the franchise to go down hill. I like his GBA and DS games though.

I only knew him as the "Masuda method" guy before and since I don't tend to look up devs and such when I play games (unless there's a reason), I didn't really know who he was exactly or what his role was/is. I came to actually *know* him after the whole ORAS' Battle Frontier debacle, but that was also long after I had finished it (I honestly didn't care much about its removal, but it was his reasoning for it that annoyed me).
