>Masuda is directing usum
confirmed shit
>Gamefreak is directing USM
confirmed shit
You better be fucking lying.
I fucking hope. Masuda has the best track record.
>>32711781
>Not Ohmori
HOLY SHIT HYPE
>>32711786
this
its no win game whatever way you slice it, Neo GF is going to be they death of pokemon
>>32711781
Masuda has never done a third version/sequel and no director has done two games within two years which rules out Ohmori. We might actually get someone good this time
WHERE THE FUCK IS MORIMOTO? EMERALD AND HGSS WERE FUCKING GREAT
>>32711815
This.
>>32711781
What, is this a challenge between him and Ohmori on who can make the shittiest game?
>>32711900
Its true Emerald , Heartgold and Platinum were arguably the best pokemon games created.
>>32711900
>>32711925
Heres the right pic
>>32711925
>Emerald
Wut.
It had even less to it than other third versions aside from the meme frontier.
>>32711958
How can Masuda be so consistently terrible.
>>32711781
>Masuda is directing USM
Well we know its not a a sequel and will be a minimum amount of new content, because Masuda is a lazy fuck
>>32711958
ok so it's gonna be shit then. fuck.
>>32711979
Hey, fuck you. BW was pretty good.
>>32711781
[citation needed]
>>32711993
wrong. BW2 were the good ones.
>>32711993
It's not when you consider what it could've been if it was made by Unno.
>>32711958
BRING
UNNO
BACK
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
>>32712003
No, BW2 were great.
BW were pretty good.
>>32711979
Literally "Haha, I don't know" since 2002.
>>32711958
What I'm getting at from this pic is
>Tajiri did all the classic Pokemon games
>Masuda starts off modern Pokemon's gens and made FRLG
>Morimoto, Kawachimaru, and Unno touch up Masuda's games and make third versions (Morimoto also remade GS)
>Ohmori is shit
How is Masuda going to handle a third version
>>32711958
>Morimoto, Kawachimaru, and Unno directed all the best games
someone bring them to work with each other on the ultimate Pokemon game
>>32711781
You mean Masuda is going to fix Ultra Sun and Moon
Sun and Moon's base is already there
All Masuda do is add more content
Do NOT remove Masuda
ADD
NOT
REMOVE
>>32712080
Except add back the PSS and remove the abortion it replaced.
>>32712080
The only thing we have to base how he will treat USM is FRLG where he did in fact add.
So who knows.
>>32712041
bingo
im expecting a hot mess if masuda is coming back for USM.The original was already shit , i can only imagine how his rendition will be
>>32712080
You know he is going to just scrap everything and shit out his own base versions.
>John Gamefreak III, Esq. is giving out free copies of USM
The fucking nerve of those guys.
>>32712041
>How is Masuda going to handle a third version
by adding more shit features while avoid improving on the already existing ones, making the game even easier and copypasting the "The Battle Frontier Project has started" from ORAS
>>32712041
Tajiri directed RGB, Yellow, and GS but he became Executive Director in Crystal
>>32711958
Unno = Kawachimaru = Masuda = Morimoto >Tajiri > no games > Ohmori
The question is can one of them manage to fix Ohmori's shit?
>>32711958
Someone Save Morimoto, Kawachimaru, and Unno. Maybe Ohmori too
>>32712080
>WHAT WAS THAT? REMOVE AND DONT ADD ANYTHING? OKAY!
>The Alola Battle Tree Project has started!
Where is the source??
>>32712080
>Masuda's only experience with prior content - FRLG which didn't remove anything and added more
>>32712145
Masuda is not equal to Unno, Kawachimaru, or Morimoto. He's made 4 shit games, 4 ok games, and 2 ok remakes.
>>32711958
>Directed both BW and XY
>Both RS and DP
How in the almighty fucking fuck can masuda go so fast from one extreme of quality to the other? And STILL get out skilled by others?
>>32711958
When you really think about it, third versions are like DLC or ROMhacks of the base games. If Masuda wasn't there we probably wouldn't have gotten the best games like Platinum or BW2
>>32712166
that pic is wrong anyway
Tajiri didn't direct Crystal, Masuda did
>>32712099
He makes solidly good games, he's never been responsible for polishing them though. Hopefully he can do it well.
>>32711781awesome
>>32712174
If this is true, I'm a little bit more optimistic since FRLG and Crystal are good games that definitely expanded on the base games in a good way.
>>32712169
Yet it feels like anyone could have made better games than Masuda ( except Ohmori he sucks even at copypasting ).
This is the first time Masuda directly handles a third version with all the assets already there
FRLG only had Hoenn assets he still had to remake Kanto from scratch with the assets
Ultra Sun and Moon have the highest chance of being a good Masuda game
>>32712192
Yet, they are the worst third version and remakes respectively.
>>32712192
it is true, GS credits say Tajiri is director and Masuda is co-director, Crystal credits say Tajiri is Executive Director and Masuda is director
>>32712174
>>32712192
sort of
>>32712096
>>32712158
FRLG are fucking shallow as shit and didn't add anything to Kanto, they don't even have the mandatory battle tower, there's that trainer tower instead which was terrible
Even simple things as berry planting weren't in, Sevii Islands were cool but way too short
>>32712174
Proof? As far as I'm aware is only involvement with Crystal was as composer.
>>32712174
That only highers the chance of Masuda making a good fucking game if he did both Crystal and FRLG
It's very clear he is at his best when editing a gen and not making a new one
>>32712210
the Japanese version (original) says >>32712209
>>32712202
FRLG were the first ever remakes and were done in a now outdated engine and mechanics, of fucking course they're thw worst nigger, it's not fair to judge them like that.
When they came out they were really legit
>>32711958
Where'sXD and Coliseum?
>>32712202
ORAS is a worse remake since ORAS is actually worse than Emerald.
FRLG is at least better than RBY.
>>32712240
they're spin-offs
>>32712212
>that trainer tower
you were supposed to scan e-Reader cards to change the trainers
since the e-Reader wasn't popular outside Japan, they removed support and just added the trainers onto the games themselves
I'm willing to give Masuda a chance because all he's doing is editing a gen instead of making a new one which is the cause of his downward spiral
>>32712240
not made by Game Freak
>>32712202
nah ORAS took that spot
its the only remake thats actually worst than the base game.
FireRed and LeafGreen and HeartGold and SoulSilver were both god tier remakes that were better than the originals in every way
>>32712202
To be fair, Hoenn drew a lot of people away
Most people who came for FRLG only see an improved Kanto
>>32712274
and the Sevii aren't even in Kanto, that's why you need to set up the machine at the PNC in One Island to communicate with Kanto
>>32711958
Unno by far.
>>32712217
In-game Japanese credits
Tajiri is listed as エグゼクティブディレクター (Executive Director), which is the same in every game since
Masuda is listed as ディレクター (Director)
this isn't the case in Gold and Silver
>>32712265
>HeartGold and SoulSilver were god tier remakes that were better than the originals in every way
Music could go either way honestly.
>>32712319
we should be grateful to have different versions of the same music
of course you're not going to please everyone
>>32711958
Oh shit Hideo Kojima did ORAS and SM?
>>32712258
so the japan version was basically unplayable unless you had friends with the e-reader
>>32712331
I am, I'm just saying the new music isn't a straight improvement. It's a side grade, both old and new is fantastic.
>>32712344
>friends
why you can own an e-Reader yourself
>>32712344
GBA emulators in 2017 support the e-Reader, Anon
>>32712339
I'M NUCLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRR
>>32712358
Hello? /vp/, desu.
We complain about pokemon here, he doesn't look pokemon related.
>>32712348
This, it's still fantastic but some are eh
I absolutely loved both Gym themes but Champion's could've used some work, BW2's version was better whereas HGSS's gym's were better
>>32711958
Morimoto looks so fucking proud of his games. I want to protect that smile.
>>32711958
>Morimoto and Unno will never team up to make the perfect Pokemon game
what does the director even actually REALLY do though
>>32712222
FRLG were probably my least favorite Pokemon games.
>>32712595
they were made to introduce the Wireless Adapter and get kids at the time to learn about the original Pokémon such as Pikachu and Charizard

You are very ungrateful, Ohmori who got the idea of cross-evolutions and the Wi-Fi functions in DP. Probably also came from him the Primal Reversion and the Delta Episode in ORAS. In SM with Poké-Ride, Z-Moves, Alola Forms, Trials, Totens and Ultra Beast. Unfortunately he also did the Festival Plaza which is quite similar to the Wi-Fi Plaza, to tell you the truth, the Festival Plaza is not that bad, just worse than the PSS. Masuda is not bad, but his ideas are too cosmetic, like the Rotom Dex that Ohmori does not like, besides being abandoned in the next generation. Ohmori usually has ideas that add to the game and can be used in subsequent generations, such as Regional Variant. I agree that he is not the best director, but does not need to crusify him.
>>32712581
He's basically the ideas guy and also gets to tell you why your ideas are shit.
>>32712616
>Wi-Fi functions in DP
they were recycled from Crystal since they could do them again internationally on a better system
>USUM
>>32711979
He's forced to make shit games since he only makes first games of a gen.
how /vp/ can be so idiot, remember they made 2 games at same time, USUM is directed by ohmori
>>32711815
Ohmori directed the original S&M, correct?
I wonder how the difference will show
what was the last game Masuda directed, again?
>>32711958
Unno = Morimoto > Tajiri with Iwata > Kawachimaru > Masuda > Tajiri > a dumpster fire > Ohmori
>>32713979

>>32712344
The e-Reader was a peripheral that scanned cards from the TCG.
Where do friends come into the equation?
>>32711900
>HGSS
>great
>>32712092
Fucking this
>>32714552
then it looks like we'll be seeing more meat in USUM than the originals
ohmori put forth a decent story for the first two games and masuda gave us one hell of a regional pokedex and pretty decent QoL features like the PSS and Super Training in xy, so building off the original S&M with more utility features is always a plus
