Official Pre-Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield Speculation & Leaks thread

Honestly, I'd still rather see Masuda as the director of the Switch game over Ohmori. The Alola games as a whole just left a bad taste for me, so I'd rather not see Ohmori as the director for the Switch game. However, unlikely as it is, ideally I would like either Morimoto or Unno to be the lead directors since they are responsible for HGSS and BW2 respectively, which are the 2 best games imo.

This, I would hate for Ohmori to create another game since he was responsible for the worst generation by far (gen7), I don't mind Masuda as all his games have been good.

Boy the three directors look tired at the event but they're such great guys.
Looks like Nintendo has been working them to the Bone

I'm just hoping they don't make the Switch Pokemon game have long, drawn out tutorials like the Gen 7 did. It shouldn't take me 30 minutes to move along to my journey.

They should add a skip option tbh. Less dialogue and cutscenes in general would also be nice.

I liked the gen 7 games but i felt like i was interrupted every 10 seconds by someone.

I've stopped caring about unskippable tutorials. They've just become a fact of life when playing the games now. I mean I do give SUMO/USUM credit that they made them more integrated then the past generations so they don't take you out of the story.

But what I want out of the new games is to have all pokemon available and stop hiding them behind trials or whatever challenge will take over for gyms and trials in the new gen. That was the one thing I hated about the Gen VII games. A lot of pokemon I wanted for my teams weren't able to be caught until you did the island challenges because they only exist in the trial areas.

He says in this interview he’s not a director anymore.

Then who is direcring pokemon switch?

 

[SodiumChloride]

Did we learn anything from the last 2 fan meetings yet?

 

[Grimbad]

Most likely Ohmori. He pretty much is Masuda's replacement for directorships now. And he was not directing USUM, only in a producer role. If its not Masuda it will be Ohmori

Again agreed so much!

Ohmori directing the switch titles...possible if the games were started in late 2016 or after, which is unlikely.

Hope your right!

Wow the hate for gen 7 is unreal today. Seriously I will never understand why people don't like sun and moon.

That being what it is if you are of the opinion that gen 7 sucked I wouldn't worry too much about the director. A lot of the gens had the same director and still turned out very different. And people learn as they get used to a new roll. And if Pokemon switch is a gen 1 revisit it's fully possible they will go for that gen 1 feel and go for minimum tutorial anyways. And a lot of other gen 1 elements that people love as well.

Mabye the rumors of pokemon switch being directed by unno is true

I'd love a game directed by Unno, although the best case scenario for me would be Masuda as director. I absolutely loved B2W2, so I'd love to have a game at least somewhat similar to it again.

 

[SodiumChloride]

So there was a BW2 fan meeting before X and Y was announced? Interesting

 

[Desdar300]

Oh yeah, Happy Mother's Day you'll!

 

[Ashura]

Guess tomorrow we find out if we’re getting a direct this week.. -crosses fingers extra tight-

 

[Poke Trey]

This suspense must be killing everyone for sure hasn't it? Let's see if we'll get something next week or before E3 in June.
