Masuda says that mysterious Pokémon Games Show video is a showcase for the “future” of Pokémon

Remember this image? It was a snapshot of a video played at last month’s Pokémon Game Show, and it lead to wide speculation about Pokémon fighting games, next-gen open world titles, or something else entirely. Now, Pokémon series director Junichi Masuda has commented on the brief video directly:

Don’t take this as confirmation of a game looking just like this, but it sounds like Masuda and co. have been thinking about this sort of thing heavily in the past few months at least.
