Along the way, gaining the support of many people by having them sign his clock. Nicholas has gain so many supporters that a second clock is now being used to gain signatures.
We went ahead and ask Nicholas some questions regarding his dream of becoming the Pokemon CEO.
Pokemon Crossroads: Why 2038? Why not 2035 or 2037?

Nicholas Quevedo: I picked 2038 for a variety of reasons. Years ending in 5/0 are prediction years. Iwata became Nintendo CEO in 2002, and Bowser became Nintendo of America CEO this year (2019). Saying “In 2040…” seems like a prediction. Years ago, I read a Reddit post about specific numbers being more believable. 2038 is also the 40th anniversary of The Pokémon Company.
The year 2038 servers as an attention getter. My letters to executives are titled “A Message from The 2038 Pokémon CEO.” It’s forced me to learn to be a leader (laughs). There was a time I was scared to be on the sales floor; Now I’m applying to Stanford.
PXR: Is there a grand master plan to become CEO? If so, what are some of the things involved?

NQ: There is no master plan. I don’t know if Pokémon will hire me (laughs). A documentary is in production about my work. You will see some of my stories of “trouble” I’ve caused. A trailer drops Friday. Right now, I’m applying to Stanford for an MBA in executive leadership. Part of being in a CEO is being a leader, taking care of employees, and pleasing investors. When asked this, I picture the classic “work your way up the company ladder.”
If Pokémon never hires me, it doesn’t hurt to tell employers I can speak Japanese, trained by 100+ executives, brought the computer science to my university, and much more. I often don’t believe how far this has come (laughs). There was a time I struggled passing high school classes.
PXR: What is your vision for Pokemon in the year 3038? Where do you hope the franchise will be by then? What do you want to do at that time?

NQ: Pokémon is a crossroads (pun intended). Regardless of race, class, gender, or age, there is something for everyone in the series. In a perfect world, I will take the baton from the Pokémon President in 2038 and make changes as I see fit.
When asked this question, I make a hypothetical universe. Let’s say I’m CEO tomorrow. My first duty is to bring back Kotora (canceled beta Pokémon) as an inside joke. I want the series to embrace Sugimori’s watercolor art style, return to 2D, and above all of this, make people smile.
Below you can watch some of Nicholas’s television appearances. The video below is his most recent one where he was interviewed by KEYCNews12.
