In an interview with The Guardian, Utsunomiya states that he spends "all day every day" thinking about Pokémon, working to ensure that the brand has long-term longevity:"My job? I spend all day every day thinking about Pokémon. Our goal is to keep Pokémon alive for hundreds of years – making sure it survives well past our lifetimes." It takes something truly special to remain relevant after such a length of time; is Pokémon really capable of the same? Indeed, this is despite some very well-documented technical issues with the franchise's latest mainline games, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
