Ken Sugimori deu uma entrevista exclusiva para a Nintendo Magazine do Reino Unido!
Nesta entrevista ele conta-nos como se inspiraram na criação dos Pokémons da 5ª Geração!
A revista será colocada à venda em Fevereiro, terá 2 capas diferentes e exclusivas e por motivos editoriais não posso publicar a entrevista na íntegra, mas posso publicar um excerto:
Ken Sugimori: [...] No mundo Pokémon, existem Pokémons que parecem cães, cavalos, veados - como vocês podem ver, sempre olhamos para animais selvagens para nos inspirarmos. Mas estes Pokémon, os cães, veados ou cavalos já existiam em jogos anteriores, então decidimos um novo começo, queríamos voltar ao básico. Levamos os designers ao jardim zoológico para estudar diferentes Pokémons.
Ken Sugimori:[...] O segredo é que eles são facéis de entender e mostram diversidade. A característica, a habilidade ou a forma são a chave. Há uma mistura entre Pokémons doces e fixes (cool). Isso simplifica para a audiência escolher o seu favorito. É a razão de ser popular e fazer sucesso em todo o mundo.

Hi there!
How are you?
Hope you are fine! ^^
Ken Sugimori gave an exclusive interview to Nintendo Magazine in UK [United Kingdom, England]. Lets see a extract of that interview! ^^
Game Freak has revealed how a trip to the zoo inspired the creation of the 150 new Pokémon in Pokémon Black & White.
In an exclusive interview which appears in the new issue of Official Nintendo Magazine, Pokémon designer Ken Sugimori said: "In the Pokémon World there are Pokémon that look like dogs, that look like horses, deer - as you can see we always look at wild animals to get the inspiration.
"But those Pokémon, the dogs, deer or horses already exist in previous games so we took a fresh start, we went back to basics. We took the designers to the zoo to study different animals."
Of course, not all of the new Pokémon are based on animals. There's a goth girl named Gothitelle, a coffin with arms named Cofagrigus and a gear that goes by the name of Clink.
Sugimori didn't reveal how he found inspiration for these Pokémon but he did shed more light on how he and his 30-strong team of designers make Pokémon likeable.
"The secret is that they're easy to understand and they show diversity," he said. "Its feature or ability or shape is key.
"There's a mixture of cool and cute Pokémon. That makes it easy for the audience to pick their favourite. That's the reason it's popular and the reason it's like all over the world."
