>>49141996>the man tasked with creating every entry since the creator stepped back>not deciding the canonThat's why Tajiri stepped back son. He was drawing a blank and his bestie was clearly more excited about the IP that he was (he'd told HIS story). So he told Masuda to keep up doing what he was doing, handed creative control over to him, kept executive veto on anything and let him work away. As part of the crew who pick Pokémon for the Gens (and always had been), he has exactly the direct control he wants while not having the arse of having to develop the games on a day-to-day basis. Sorry you still haven't realised this, but then again, you are too autistic to accept a shitmoin should be a shitmon, when you try to use its shittier stats.
