Junichi Masuda talks increased dev size for Pokemon X/Y
A portion of a Nintendo Life interview Junichi Masuda...
NL: Has the move to 3D and increased challenges meant that you’ve had to increase the size of your development team at Game Freak?
Junichi Masuda: Yes, definitely, we have a much larger group of people working on the games this time around. On the actual development of the game we have around 200 people working on X and Y, and then with the global simultaneous release of the titles we have more localisation staff and other people to make that possible. I think in the credits there is around 500 names that appear. And even outside of those people, there are some involved in the development of the game in some way!
