Title: Pokémon Interview with J.C. Smith
Post by: MegaByte on May 31, 2010, 03:20:48 AM
We talk with Pokémon's spokesperson about the franchise, tournaments, and phenomenon that is Pokémon.
The 2010 Pokémon Video Game Regional Championships are underway. During the San Francisco tournament, we had a chance to sit down with J.C. Smith, Director of Marketing for The Pokémon Company.
Nintendo World Report (NWR): Can you describe the relationship between Nintendo and The Pokémon Company?
J.C. Smith (JCS): We're actually a separate company. The Pokémon Company was started by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures to manage the brand. So, while Nintendo has a stake in Pokémon, we're run independently from them. So, we have a separate office. We work very closely with them, but our office is in Bellevue, which is down the road from them.

Tell me there is a 3DS question(s) sprinkled in there somewhere.

Missing question: "Have you caught 'em all?"

Pretty good interview, though I could have given you some of those answers myself. ;) Yeah, access to transportation is one of the main reasons that older people are more heavily represented at these things (extends to the TCG, or perhaps the other way around).
