I just posted a new Diamond & Pearl development interview, featuring Masuda, Sugimori, Ohmori, and Unno. It's pretty long, and includes lots of information from outside sources like blog translations and the 2019 beta sprite leak. Highlights include details about the Masuda Method, an internal debate over the UI, and which Sinnoh Pokemon were designed first, as well as why they were first. It's on my website, but hidden so that no one can see it unless they have the direct link, which I'm only posting here on Patreon. Here's the link: http://lavacutcontent.com/diamond-pearl-masuda-sugimori/
This and some other research will be used in an upcoming YouTube video, so please don't go sharing this around on Twitter or wherever. As usual, I like to keep this kinda stuff private until after the video's finished, to prevent some fly-by-night PokeTuber from stealing my thunder. Which has happened in the past >_< So for a couple months at least, this is just for you guys. As always, a huge thanks to you guys. It took me about 30 hours to put all this together, and I wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't for y'all's support. Cheers.
