UK information publication The Guardian has revealed a brand new interview with The Pokémon Firm COO, Takato Utsunomiya. One of many questions put to Mr. Utsunomiya is the unlucky state that the most recent adventures Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, launched in. Chances are you’ll keep in mind that upon the sport’s launch, gamers flocked to social media to indicate off a spread of glitches and points that they had discovered inside the video games. Whereas Mr. Utsunomiya wouldn’t immediately remark, he stated that they’re at all times paying shut consideration to the Pokémon neighborhood and whereas they received’t concede to all fan requests, the suggestions is one thing that they’ve been listening to.
It has not all been rosy for Pokémon lately. 2022’s video games, Scarlet and Violet, have been visually underwhelming and plagued with bugs (of the technical variety, relatively than the cutesy collectible variety), their poor technical efficiency inciting backlash the franchise had by no means seen earlier than.
“No matter whether or not we publicly reply, we’re at all times paying very shut consideration to the suggestions and conversations taking place within the communities,” Utsunomiya says. “There are specific points the place we are able to’t at all times be 100% aligned with what elements of the neighborhood are asking for and what we wish to present. However we do that with the need to maintain Pokémon going for a really very long time, and I imagine that the followers and gamers are aligned with us in that respect.”
