The creators of Pokmon and Hello Kitty are NOT dead

There's a rumor on Twitter (news story here: http://n4g.com/news/719582/... ) so persistent that it's caused "Satoshi Tajiri," the creator of the game Pokemon, to become a Twitter Trend over the assertion that he, as well as "Hello Kitty" character creator Yuko Yamaguchi died.

Both Satoshi Tajiri and Yuko Yamaguchi are still alive.

Is anyone expecting anything less? It will be exclusive to Switch 2 eventhough it will still look like a 3DS game

Inverno16d ago

I think the 3DS games look better than anything GF released on Switch.

--Onilink--16d ago

To be fair, The Pokemon Company operates quite independently, so it wouldn’t have been that strange for a Pokemon game coming out in just the 2nd year of the S2’s life to still be crossgen. I mean, just how long into the PS5 and SX life are we and we are still seeing plenty of crossgen stuff

not surprised.

nintendo was prepared to have some games sell the console.

im sure the game will still look like its from the ps2 era tho.

that is in part because of the chip shortage when everyone over reacted to sars in 2019.

I've lost interest in pokemon, the mega evolve stuff was a poor digimon rip off, then the stuttering mess the 3d versions are.
I'd love a remake of gold/silver in a top down view like lets go pikachu had, but sticking with the traditional pokemon mechanics.

Uh, yea, that’s how console generations are supposed to work…
