>trials were literally an afterthought added in the debug phase
>added so late in development that the programming and art teams pretty much cashed their checks and went home and Ohmori had to shit out basic minigames like "sound quiz" or "look for the bubbling spots" that wouldn't demand new assets
>the empty lots all over Alola aren't ebin lore foreshadowing, just where gyms would have been until they scrapped them at the last minute for hastily duct-taped together trials
What the fuck ohmori. I cant believe the madman would even admit this.

Just got my Game Informer in with their cover story on going to Game Freak's office. Ohmori talks about it in the SM section. I think there was a thread about it earlier this week too.
Well it worked, it tricked the casuals and reviewers into thinking the game was hip and fresh.

The earlier thread was based on a comment from some Game Informer guys on a podcast. If what you have has a quote by Ohmori himself about it, post it.
