>>45674905I think Ohmori is simply incompetent and can't direct for shit. Look at the three sets of games he's worked on so far:
>ORAS had a Battle Tower modeled they used for the infamous frontier displayThis right here I think indicates INTENT to at least put in the old Battle Tower, but that they ran out of time and placed it in as an homage instead. Though it very obviously comes off as spite, I don't think that's the intent. Ohmori seems too milquetoast for that kind of jab at the player.
>ORAS cutting trainer customizationWe know the official reason, but I'm convinced they just couldn't implement it in time for release.
>No Pokemon game in 2015We know from leaks and datamines that there was at least an intent to make another Kalos game, but instead those resources were put to helping Sun and Moon get out in time. I suspect Ohmori couldn't get SM out in 2016 for that 20th anniversary without those extra resources.
>SWSH cutting Pokemon, releasing with bare bones content and a half baked story that even uses concept/storyboard art in place of an actual fucking cutscene at one pointAnd we know full well he had daddy Masuda helping in part given SWSH runs off the same engine as LGPE.
I don't think Ohmori can manage time and resources for shit.
