Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda to attend E3 2016
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 60 Comments
Is it too early to be talking about E3 2016? Maybe. But there’s one tweet from Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda that already has Pokemon fans excited about what could be featured at the expo.

However, considering that it’s very close to E3, after discussing it with The Pokemon Company International, he won’t be able to attend. In other words, Masuda prioritizes E3, so he can’t go to that Desucon given how the timeframe between the two is very close.
