Pokemon game director wants more action

Talking internally about adding 'some kind of action element to the game'.

Pokemon developer GameFreak has produced hit game after hit game for Nintendo, using its tried and tested role-playing formula, but that doesn't mean the Pokemon series as we know it won't evolve into something a little different. Perhaps something a little more action packed.

"Yes, I have thought of doing something new, and it makes me very excited to think of new elements for the game," said game director Junichi Masuda to Game Informer. "... This is just an idea but ... as you know, Pokemon is a role-playing game. But, personally, I really like the action type of games, so we just talk about that sometimes. We probably want to add some kind action element to the game."
