pretty much influenced by the conversation from this post onward. c:
you know, i've heard a lot (mostly in online spaces/social media. in otherwords, Very Outspoken Fans) that a lot of mistakes that Game Freak has been making so far in pokemon games is directly due to Masuda's influence. from getting rid of the battle frontier to making the games too simple, he seems to be (from my understanding) under the impression that pokemon games should not be a challenge whatsoever, to the point where older/veteran fans feel left out and feel it's his responsibility for not extending any sort of an olive branch to them and instead constantly focusing on dumbing down pokemon games as much as he can, directly or indirectly.
i'd like to personally stress that the above paragraph isn't actually reflective of my opinion on the matter or the man at hand, but i do want to ask you guys whether you agree or disagree that his influence is solely responsible for pokemon games being what they are in this day and age, flaws and all. i'd like to hope that this conversation remains constructive, so please keep the topic at hand to either criticisms or praise about his handling of pokemon games under his leadership at Game Freak, depending on your position.
