Nintendo President Talks About the Challenge in Bringing Pokémon Overseas


In the B Dash Camp that happened in Osaka, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata talked about Nintendo and some interesting bits about Pokémon.

Iwata revealed the challenge they faced when they tried to bring Pokémon overseas and that includes if Americans can accept cute monsters. He revealed.

Will America accept cute monsters? No, they said. Some people even recommended to make Pikachu more muscular. If we followed their advice Pokemon would never have been the success that it was. Brain Training software (Brain Age) became a hit in Japan, and I proposed that we sell it globally. And even as I said that as the president, no one listened.
