>>58371425We know Ohmori's parents didn't want him (拒否され does not directly translate to orphan) and that he does some have some crime history, and that he worked for Gamefreak for years while under the japanese equivalent of probation. Masuda took him under his wing, probably had Ohmori do a lot of busy work and fetch the women and coke that he needed.
Gamefreak is just a weird studio. You have literal old money Ishihara whose uncle and probably father were Yakuza, a college dropout music composer turned game director because of how much dirt he had on everyone (Masuda), and a well-intended kid who just wanted to make a game about collecting bugs and now doesn't want to touch the Pokémon franchise with a 2-mile pole (Tajiri). Then there is software engineer Iwata who had a known personal beef with Junichi Masuda, and who had to come in and save Gamefreak twice despite that not being his job.
I just wonder what type of shit Masuda and Ishihara did to irreversibly ruin this studio. Masuda always had this bad motherfucker aura to him, so much that no one ever leaked a single text file during his tenure. He was Gamefreak's Stalin. Things fell apart the nanossecond he phoned in the BDSP remakes, then went to work in TPC filling lawsuits to fuck over Palworld.
We need a Masuda biography like 'The Wolf of Shibuya Street'.
