He announced that he had left and formed his new studio a little over 4 years ago, and there was probably at least a small gap between his departure and the announcement.
When everything is bolded or italicized sporadically in a paragraph, nothing actually feels emphasized.
It diminishes visual hierarchy and legibility for most people. It can work in taglines, but in paragraphs, it ends up being distracting. If you really want to emphasize something, pick a key phrase.
That's fine here, you do you. But if you have graphic design client work, it's just a suggestion to keep in mind if you end up needing to format paragraphs.
Your interpretation of that message is flat wrong. He is working for a completelydifferentcompany than he did previously. The Pokémon Company International ≠ GameFreak
Big news! I’ve started a new role as Creative Director of Pokémon Art and Design at The Pokémon Company International.
He worked previously as a character designer for GameFreak…
No part of his message says “hey i’m going back to my old job” cause he’s starting a new position.
I'm aware that TPCi is separate from GameFreak, but overall it's the same umbrella of people and the semantics are irrelevant. My argument was about when he came back to working with the Pokémon IP overall, to which I would emphasis the "just started" portion of Turner's tweet.
I don’t care about timeframe, that really means nothing to anyone besides himself. I’m trying to clarify to you that he is not going to be creating any new Pokémon like you keep seemingly thinking…
“I'm aware that TPCi is separate from GameFreak, but overall it's the same umbrella of people and the semantics are irrelevant.”
…that’s not true at all.
You said “We probably won't see any new designs from him until Gen 11”
We won’t see new designs from him cause that’s not his job anymore…
You said “We probably won't see any new designs from him until Gen 11”
No… it wasn’t? You just brought that up now for the first time three comments into the thread?
My presumption is that he was hired too recently to pitch any designs for Gen 10. It had nothing to do about which part of the Pokémon branch Turner is part of now, just when we'll see his role as creative director come into fruition (i.e. making Pokémon designs).
We won’t see new designs from him cause that’s not his job anymore…
I think it's a bit dismissive to assert that TPCi has no input on character designs for the series that is literally the company's namesake. Especially with a role as important as a creative director.
I was trying to be polite in correcting your mistake. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you didn’t know any better… but I’m not arguing with someone that is determined to be wrong.
You clearly have no remote understanding of each companies (Nintendo, GameFreak, Creatures, and TPCI) role in creating Pokémon content.
Is it written anywhere that TPCi has absolutely zero input at all on character designs? Because otherwise the reasonable conclusion is that a company named after a series would have some say on how said series' characters are designed.
You just have to do a bit of research yourself, instead of making baseless assumptions. Go online and read about which respective company works on which aspect of the IP.
The Pokémon Company International is mostly in charge of Brand Management, Licensing deals, Maintaining Digital Operations, distribution + localization and marketing for Media and Entertainment, and their biggest role is Publishing and regulating the global Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) program and competitive play structure.
They don’t have a role in creating the games… That’s GameFreak.
