>>55938513The "original trio" aren't actually involved with day-to-day production any longer kid. Tajiri does research into ideas for future games, in very broad stroke terms (eg, he's not sitting down planning to the letter the entire process of terastralisation, but he's absolutely suggesting shit like "let's try a type-change gimmick sometime"), MAsuda's fucked off to TPC to run oversight on them as part of GF's mandate to have staff fact-check the retards who merely work 9-5 on this shit, not breathe it 24/7 like they and Sugi's fucked off to TPC also, to piss about playing dress-up with his creations.
All-in-all, if the "original 3 " (protip: there were 17 "original" staff members that were credited on RG, but only 13 worked at GF HQ on the games) can be accepting of the younger generation taking up the mantle and running with it, then I don't think your doomer scenario's truly gonna happen. The younger set been shitting these games out since 2014 after all and they've only seen an increase in sales of their output under their watch to boot.
