Masuda has been a part of Game Freak working on the <em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> series for a long time and just recently moved into a role at The Pok\u00e9mon Company. He\u2019s considered the face of Pok\u00e9mon and is the subject of research by Masuda Scholars\u2019 Society members like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/pulnaref\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pulnaref<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Pulnaref, \u201cto know Masuda is to know Pok\u00e9mon.\u201d In other words, by analyzing the images Masuda uploads for the clothes he\u2019s wearing, what\u2019s going on behind him, or even what he\u2019s eating, it can give us hints about upcoming games and what to expect. By the definition of studying examples and coming up with theories, you could say the group is doing full-fledged scholarly work.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u7b2c2\u56de\u30ea\u30e2\u30fc\u30c8\u30dd\u30b1\u30e2\u30f3\u5b66\u4f1a\u30102\u65e5\u76ee\u3011\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Emkw000NkZE?start=2834&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>On May 29, Pulnaref and the Masuda Scholars\u2019 Society started getting excited. That\u2019s because Masuda had posted an image on Twitter of Omotesando, Tokyo. The following day, Masuda then mentioned getting a haircut. It was at this point that many started predicting we would see new information about <em>Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and <em>Violet<\/em> in the near future. The day after that, we got an official announcement that a trailer was incoming meaning the predictions were dead on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how did a picture of town and the report of a haircut allow them to make such a prediction? We reached out to Pulnaref to find out.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u6771\u4eac\u306f\u771f\u590f\u65e5\u306e31\u2103\uff01\u3067\u3082\u98a8\u3082\u3042\u3063\u3066\u6c17\u6301\u3061\u826f\u3044\uff01 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/E746410ioc\">pic.twitter.com\/E746410ioc<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u5897\u7530\u9806\u4e00@Pok\u00e9mon (@Junichi_Masuda) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Junichi_Masuda\/status\/1530774672635072512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 29, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u307f\u306a\u3055\u3093\u3001\u3053\u3093\u306b\u3061\u306f\uff01<br>\u6628\u65e5\u3001\u9aea\u5207\u3063\u3066\u30b9\u30c3\u30ad\u30ea\u3060\u3051\u3069\u3001\u4eca\u65e5\u3082\u6691\u3044\uff01(\u7b11)<br>\u4eca\u9031\u3082\u9811\u5f35\u3063\u3066\u3044\u304d\u307e\u3057\u3087\u3046\uff01\uff01(^^)\uff0f~~~ <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/30twgQgX5S\">pic.twitter.com\/30twgQgX5S<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u5897\u7530\u9806\u4e00@Pok\u00e9mon (@Junichi_Masuda) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Junichi_Masuda\/status\/1531118439792013312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 30, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>According to Pulnaref, looking into Masuda\u2019s haircut routine dates all the way back to 2016.

After that, while looking through Masuda\u2019s tweets, Pulnaref started to notice that he would often make media appearances after visiting this salon in Omotesando. For that reason, it started to spread among Masuda scholars that Omotesando and haircuts meant a hint at new information.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u4ed5\u4e8b\u7d42\u308f\u3063\u3066\u9aea\u5207\u308a\u306b\u8868\u53c2\u9053\u3078\uff01\u4f11\u65e5\u306e\u8868\u53c2\u9053\u306f\u6c17\u6301\u3061\u826f\u3044\uff01 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/r758w43e6U\">pic.twitter.com\/r758w43e6U<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u5897\u7530\u9806\u4e00@Pok\u00e9mon (@Junichi_Masuda) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Junichi_Masuda\/status\/1000647332394745856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 27, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30dd\u30b1\u30e2\u30f3\u52e2\u306a\u3089\u77e5\u3063\u3066\u304a\u304d\u305f\u3044\u8c46\u77e5\u8b58\u305d\u306e1\u3000\u5897\u7530\u9806\u4e00\u306f\u9aea\u3092\u5207\u308a\u306b\u884c\u304f\u6642\u306f\u8868\u53c2\u9053\u306e\u7f8e\u5bb9\u9662\u306b\u884c\u304f\u3002\u5927\u578b\u306e\u767a\u8868\u3084\u53d6\u6750\u306e\u76f4\u524d\u306b\u306f\u7f8e\u5bb9\u9662\u306b\u884c\u304f\u50be\u5411\u304c\u3042\u308b\u306e\u3067\u300c\u7f8e\u5bb9\u9662\u306b\u884c\u3063\u305f\u30c4\u30a4\u30fc\u30c8\u300d\u304c\u6765\u308c\u3070TL\u306e\u7a7a\u6c17\u304c\u30d4\u30ea\u30d4\u30ea\u3057\u3066\u304f\u308b\u3002<\/p>&mdash; \u30d7\u30eb\u30ca\u30ec\u30d5 (@pulnaref) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pulnaref\/status\/1144449439039279104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 28, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>That trend was proven correct with this latest development. While Masuda didn\u2019t make an appearance for the trailer on June 1, it\u2019s possible that he will appear in the media to coincide with this latest reveal. At any rate, they were able to correctly guess the timing of new information coming out based on Masuda\u2019s previous behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Masuda scholars also believe that Masuda has been doing this kind of foreshadowing for a long time. Pulnaref first noticed an example of foreshadowing in 2013. At the end of 2012, Masuda tweeted that he was going to France. About a week and a half later, <em>Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and <em>Y<\/em> were announced. The region in <em>X <\/em>and Y are based on France, so Pulnaref started to think maybe Masuda was leaving behind hints in his words and actions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3044\u3064\u3082\u6b63\u6708\u306f\u65e5\u672c\u3067\u8fce\u3048\u3066\u3044\u305f\u3093\u3067\u3059\u304c\u3001\u4eca\u5e74\u306f\u521d\u6d77\u5916\u6b63\u6708\u3057\u3066\u304d\u307e\u3059\uff01\uff01\u5411\u304b\u3046\u5148\u306f\u30d5\u30e9\u30f3\u30b9\u3001\u30d1\u30ea\u3067\u3059\uff01\uff01\uff01(^^)\uff0f~~~\u884c\u3063\u3066\u304d\u307e\u30fc\u3059\uff01<br>At Haneda international airport!

In February of 2016, Masuda tweeted, \u201cThe sun is still out but the moon is shining bright!! The birds are still chirping too lol.\u201d And around 2 weeks later, <em>Pok\u00e9mon Sun<\/em> and <em>Moon<\/em> were announced.

He also seems to enjoy seeing fan reactions, so it isn\u2019t a stretch to think he may intentionally leave some hints for them.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u592a\u967d\u304c\u307e\u3060\u51fa\u3066\u308b\u306e\u306b\u3001\u6708\u304c\u5927\u304d\u304f\u660e\u308b\u304f\u8f1d\u3044\u3066\u308b\uff01\uff01\u9ce5\u305f\u3061\u3082\u3064\u3076\u3084\u3044\u3066\u308b\uff08\u7b11\uff09 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tcU7RIZytx\">pic.twitter.com\/tcU7RIZytx<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u5897\u7530\u9806\u4e00@Pok\u00e9mon (@Junichi_Masuda) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Junichi_Masuda\/status\/700214210483990528?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 18, 2016<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As for Pulnaref, they didn\u2019t originally just research Masuda. Pulnaref also dove into games like <em>Pocket Card Jockey<\/em> and other Game Freak titles to discover Pok\u00e9mon easter eggs. However, after noticing the selfies posted by Masuda and the hints left behind, they started focusing more on looking into what these could be foreshadowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulnaref thinks of the foreshadowing from Masadu as a message to fans and enthusiastically explained, \u201clooking into these hints is like a sort of conversation, so I think doing so is like communicating with Masuda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certainly, if you look at Masuda\u2019s active engagement with fans, you could see the foreshadowing as him issuing them a challenge. By accepting the challenge, their case studies get deeper, which can even lead to a feeling of connection through their interactions.
