"I actually made various compositions throughout the game, but whenever I was working on something and wondered 'what's a Pokémon-sounding tune?' I put importance in the essence of Masuda's past work, and thought about it. Especially for things such as the battle music, where I made some with a conscious approach of Masuda's music." - sound director, Shota Kageyama
