We had had no leaks since 1994. Then he is (((promoted))) to the TPC legal department, and two weeks later the SpaceWorld leaks happen. Now there is Typhlosiongate, and the franchise intended for children is irreversibly damaged due to a botched PR nightmare with the Palworld cease and desist lawsuit and now association with rape and pedophilia. I am sure TPC is not selling any plushies of Typhlosions for little girls to bring home now.

He was clearly the strong man of GameFreak, since he (supposedly only a music composer) was the one who announced the dexcut and not the actual game director, who was shaking and almost crying. He clearly had the strongest grip, and even put himself in the games all the time, being revered a great director and composer.

Next Pokémon game is a do or die now. They should just ditch the open-world bullshit and go back to the R/S/E format that Masuda consolidated.
