The Pokemon Company hiring localization editor for gaming-related assignments
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
A new job listing has been spotted for a localization editor who will work with The Pokemon Company. It’s a 6-month contract, with the person’s role expected to begin between April and June. Duties involve “all editorial facets of video games, and related materials (video game strategy guide, video game web site etc.)”.
One prominent rumor circulating is that this job posting is related to the upcoming Pokemon game for Switch. Even further, some are speculating that localization is underway and the title could ship by the end of the year. While these are possibilities, we aren’t willing to say that ourselves just yet. Keep in mind that the job posting is also not officially confirmed to be for the mainline Pokemon RPG on Switch.
