Game Freak interested in AR, AI and more

Game Freak seems to be looking to broaden its horizons as Junichi Masuda, who is best known for his continued work for the Pokémon franchise, has stated that Game Freak is interested in combining the real world with the virtual world.

He has pointed out that the Japanese video game developer is interested in advanced technology, most notably AR, AI and voice recognition.

What does that mean for Pokémon?

Well perhaps a lot but it’s really to early to jump to any conclusions about the implications this might have for the Pokémon franchise. As we have not even seen a screenshot or logo for the upcoming Nintendo Switch title.

Only time will tell until we see exactly what Game Freak is planning but it’s interesting to hear that they’re looking into different ways for fans to interact with future titles for sure.
