As with previous installments in the Pokemon series, Game Freak has high hopes for Pokemon Sun and Moon. The developer wants the upcoming duo of Pokemon games to serve as a “means of communication” among fans, according to producer Junichi Masuda. “We want Pokemon to be a means of communication,” he said. “What I really want to do is to connect people, then help them form great memories by experiencing these distributions and such in certain places. I think of it like having a meal. By itself, a meal is usually pretty forgettable – it can be hard to even remember what you had for lunch yesterday! But if you go for a meal with a close friend at a restaurant you love, you’ll remember that meal for a long time. I want to give people memorable Pokemon experiences with one another.”
