Ohmori gives some hints on who is working on the big Pokemon Switch project.
According to a recent interview with GameSpot, Shigeru Ohmori claims that GameFreak are going with the tried and tested developers for the upcoming Pokemon Switch.
Pokemon Producer Shigeru Ohmori stated in a recent interview with GameSpot that the upcoming games, reportedly the last for the 3DS, have been handled by a younger development team to help hone their skills. However, he did make sure to mention that the staff, while small, is varied:
Of course we have a limited number of staff available to us, but we have a very varied staff within the company. We have younger staff members and also veterans who have been working on the series for a long time, very technically gifted staff members. We want to use these staff in the best way possible. For example this time with Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon we can treat it mainly as a project for our younger staff to work on and grow and develop their skills, while perhaps the more veteran, established members of the company can work on the upcoming [Switch] project.
That’s an approach we often take: having a growth-based project for younger staff members and then a new project for the existing veterans. Using this project management style ensures all of our projects have a positive effect on one another as they go.”
While the hype train is in full effect now that USUM is just over two weeks away, it seems that Ohmori covered all his bases by reassuring the fans that the next step for the series is in experienced hands.
