Pokémon Designer Ken Sugimori Talks About 7th Generation


Pokémon designer Ken Sugimori commented in an interview for a magazine some plans for the seventh generation of Pokémon games, which can be summed up in one word, "simplicity".

He commented that they will not add more layers of complexity, but rather revert back to simplicity by using elements found in Pokémon Red and Green (or Blue). In addition, Sugimori commented that Pokémon designs could be simplified as well.

He also revealed the challenge in designing new Pokémon, in which every Pokémon that appears in every game must be brand new. This is why that after they already made Pokémon designs inspired on common animals, they make designs inspired by wild animals.

Lastly, he revealed that his favorite Pokémon of all time is Gengar.
