Game Freak, the creators of the handheld Pokemon titles, wish to hire a 3D modeler. Now I’m wondering: What does the company have in mind? We’ve heard that a Pokemon Wii game is in development, but Game Freak has yet to create a console title. In fact, Game Freak has little experience with 3D in general. So will the developers take the plunge into the console world? Or will they make use of 3D models for the next handheld title? Perhaps nothing will come of the hiring at all! So while this is a little piece of interesting news, we’ll have to wait and see if there’s any significance behind it.
