UK information publication The Guardian has revealed a brand new interview with The Pokémon Company COO, Takato Utsunomiya. One of the questions put to Mr. Utsunomiya is the unlucky state that the newest adventures Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, launched in. You could keep in mind that upon the sport’s launch, gamers flocked to social media to indicate off a variety of glitches and points they’d discovered throughout the video games. While Mr. Utsunomiya wouldn’t instantly remark, he mentioned 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, had been visually underwhelming and plagued with bugs (of the technical type, quite than the cutesy collectible type), their poor technical efficiency inciting backlash the franchise had by no means seen earlier than.
“Regardless of whether or not we publicly reply, we’re at all times paying very shut consideration to the suggestions and conversations occurring within the communities,” Utsunomiya says. “There are sure features 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 need to present. But we do that with the need to maintain Pokémon going for a really very long time, and I consider that the followers and gamers are aligned with us in that respect.”
