​

In a recent interview with Kotaku, Pokémon Sun and Moon’s producer Junichi Masuda expressed his thoughts on Pokémon fan games when prompted the question.

“Yes, of course, I see a lot of the—well, it’s hard to say an example, but I see a lot of people on Twitter [sending me] different takes [on Pokémon],” Masuda said, referencing to not only fan games but fan arts and such.

He continued by adding: “If I see that you are having fun creating things, or working on an art project...working on game development, we kind of share that feeling.”

Masuda even went on to encourage those fan game developers to join his team. “In general terms, as creators we both have fun creating things, and at Game Freak we are always looking for skilled individuals, so please apply!”

There you have it Pokémon fan game developers! Game Freak might hire you for the next Pokémon installment!

I know but what if Pokemon Uranium as Fakemon in there might add to next Pokemon Generation? With creator of Pokemon Uranium and other, there might a chance for more Pokemon Generation and more idea design in the future.
Better than nothing, right?

mas I think this an a very injust thing t be done with the fan actually becaus ethere are lots and lots of good, well based fakemons, canonizing some don't feels a nice idea XD

Yeah - chances are neither Game Freak nor Nintendo's creative people really care. The problem is the people on the business side instead of the creative side probably just hired some lawyer firm, told them "go nuts on anything that seems threatening to our IP" and said firm is just doing what it was hired to.

I wish the industry worked like that but... Sadly it rarely does. I have heard some success stories but they usually don't start with a legal gray area pokemon hack.

Not until owner of Sun and Moon offer to anyone who want work with GF. Which is more chance for new idea for Pokemon Type, for example, Pokemon Uranium. There is new Pokemon type that Pokemon don't have it. This might great opp...oppu....Well I can't spell it right, but you know what I mean. So next few years, they might make new generation Pokemon.

First, awesome! Now the new Pokemon game could be like, OUR game!

[Mystic Shadow]

Good. fans have way better pokemon designs than game freak does now.

What has happened

1. Nintendo shuts down fan projects of their games.
2. Fans backlash
3. Nintendo offer job to said people
4. @Sonic Angel Knight is like O_O

That's happened lots of times.

What should happen
Allow fan projects games to be free. (seriously do NOT sell these fan projects)

You're such an idealist, Sonic Angel Knight. They do not want free fan game to be substitute for retail paid game.

[DeoNaught]

[The Catboy]

I really hope I don't read, "Fan devs submit résumé, gets sued by Nintendo."
