Game Freak talks Pokemon – fan feedback, making new creatures, cries, new Sun/Moon online features
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 18 Comments
In its latest issue, GamesMaster published an interview with two of Game Freak’s developers working on Pokemon Sun/Moon. Director Shigeru Ohmori and Junichi Masuda were both interviewed. Ohmori’s comments mainly reiterated what we heard in previous interviews, but many of Masuda’s comments were very interesting.
The Masuda interview was more about Pokemon in general. He talked about fan feedback, the process of making new creatures, plus voice acting and Pokemon cries. If that wasn’t enough, Masuda also dished on a couple of new online features being included in Sun/Moon.
Head past the break for a rundown of some of Masuda’s top comments.

Producer of the Zelda and Pokemon concerts on how the music is chosen
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 3 Comments
Jeron Moore is leading the way on Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses and Pokemon: Symphonic Evolutions as producer of both concerts. Zelda Informer managed to secure an interview with him, and asked several questions about the two shows.
During the interview, Moore was asked about how the music is selected for the Zelda and Pokemon concerts. He shared the following in response:
“Chad and I spend a lot of time listening to all the music and generally we have a good prerequisite knowledge of it. We have our own favorites and we kind of will work for the orchestra and what won’t, what will lend itself better for it. We also like to get the input from whoever we are working with. We worked very closely with Koji Kondo to establish what really even through today’s Zelda Symphony with Master Quest is still a very important part of that show. There is a reason it is still a core part of that show, because it was very carefully designed. The same goes for Pokemon Symphonic Evolutions. Junichi Masuda had a lot of feedback and thought some of our original choices were very interesting and was willing to hear what we wanted to do with it. When he did, he gave us the thumbs up. We try to make it a very collaborative process while also staying true to our passion for bringing to the table, the stage, the orchestra… what really sets us on fire and what gets us excited about the music and the game itself.”

Game Freak still interested in Pokemon remakes, no current plans for Gold/Silver on the Virtual Console
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News | 35 Comments
Remakes are a well-known part of the Pokemon franchise. New titles are produced regularly, but older ones are visited fairly frequently. Fans might be interested to hear that Game Freak remains interested in this.
Series producer Junichi Masuda told IGN:
“I think the remakes, like Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen, is still an approach we’re interested in. With the Virtual Console releases of the original games, specifically there had never been a way to bring those Pokemon over to the latest generation. It had always been that you couldn’t get those Pokemon out.”
