>>53997773>Even gigaweeb James Turner only made it to designing Pokemon but had zero input in everything else.Bullshit, the only Gen he just made pokémon designs was Gen 9 and that's because he had already handed his notice in to leave and form All Possible Futures.
In fact, part of why he was hired was his experience with making cutscenes in 3D. You know, because Game Freak needed to move to 3D development the next project after he got hired. And that's also ignoring he ran a lunchtime informal english class for staff who wanted to learn while working there. Game Freak staffers loved Turner, because he was a complete utter foreigner who was just as interested in making the next pokémon game in the long-running series as they were (he was handed some other artist's Bruxish design and was asked to finish designin it in 7 too, remember. If they didn't trust him, they wouldn't have made him a design doctor).
