I don't get these threads.
>Would [Random work figure X] ruin Pokemon if he was in charge of this or this?
Like bro, you can't gauge that by pulling out a random guy. There are steps to how a lore and a story is written into the games. The obvious step would be familiarizing yourself with the source material to then consult it with more people than only your own opinion.

Let's take a look at Colosseum since they are the only viable example of a case where someone with no prior knowledge of working with Pokemon titles got pulled up to work on one. They took their time to learn about it while working with a certain motif with the limited freedom they had for making a home console title.

The best result you would get from inserting any guy you drag into Pokemon is some repeated story beats but that's it, the core would still stay in tact.

If he actually did his research then it would probably turn out better than ORAS at least. He's a reasonable writer, which is more than what Sonic had since SA2 if we're being stingy and Unleashed if we're being generous, and between those games there were a ton of duds that are hard to defend (Shadow's story being on repeat over several games until '06, where everything but Shadow's story was some degree of retarded). Ian's big thing is that he's an above average writer who comes in after years of the worst writing you've ever seen, outside of his run on Mega Man which is on a similar level to a bunch of other extremely average Mega Man stories over the course of the character's recent history.

When the only complaint people are making is that he constantly makes references like the only good Kanto reference in SM, then it's probably fine.
