Surprisingly, Pritchard made her first recorded speech for the public during the showcase. She showed her eagerness to watch the gaming community grow with new experiences and stories from various developers. She also mentioned her wish to meet new, inspiring creators being welcomed in the gaming space, which implies some interest in participating in events or gatherings in-person.
“I’m excited to meet you to hear those stories and to learn from your journeys; You’re on an adventure and every step you take matters.”
Tsunekazu Ishihara, the President/CEO of the Pokémon Company, even delivered a message when the Pokémon Company representatives accepted the Andrew Yoon Memorial Legends Award. The Pokémon Company CEO, along with other developers, expressed gratitude for the growing Pokémon community and relished the lengthy development of Pokémon.
