With the success of Hyrule Warriors, the world now knows Nintendo franchise are viable candidates to get the Warriors treatment. While Zelda series director Eiji Aonuma wouldn’t comment on any other specific Nintendo property that could potentially be developed in the Warriors mold, others have spoken out.

While we’ve briefly joked about the possibility of a Pokémon Warriors game in the past, Pokémon series director Junichi Masuda chimed in on whether or not it could happen:

“Masuda says he’d be open to [adapting Pokémon to become a Warriors game] if the game wasn’t too violent, suggesting that it could work if the player threw out a lot of Pokéballs, but it would need a new form of gameplay so as to not feel too familiar.”

What do you think? Would you be interested in seeing a Pokémon Warriors game? You’d have to deal with hordes and swarms! …wait a minute…
