All it was a come-back to make them sound smarter and more knowledgeable. I pointed out at one stage I was talking to Bil, the guy in charge of PowerFX, talked to the members of Zero-G and Oliver's development team is around the fandom easy to get hold of, and even Anders could be contacted with some difficulty. While they wouldn't tell me who they knew (because they don't) this knowledge is already known so I know this person is basically lying.

The talk was about Teto, when I said a few things to correct them on her association with CFM this came up.

As I said to them... I said this is not a bold claim to hear, as I've been hearing this kind of crap since my early years. In the entire time I have been on the net, the only time its been true was the guy who was friends with the voice actor of Tyson from Beyblade. The rest were just people trying to pretend to know more then they did. ¬_¬ "My uncle works at game freak" is what I see whenever people make claims like that. When I was in 4th grade claimed their uncle knew about a continuation of dragonball after gt and went into detail about it When I was in the One Piece fandom it was "Oda said this..." usually at a convention or in an interview. Its always spoken to make someone sound like they have insider knowledge you don't. But here is the thing, the sound editing team is headed by wat and there aren't many people in it, beyond him since most sound editing teams are about 2 or 3 people tops even in hollywood. The company likely has 20-50 people working for them at the most, if that.

I remember the original Mortal Kombat games were headed by just 8 people in the 90s, and now they have a team about 4 times that size at least.

It was the same for Game Freak, there was likely 50 people tops. When everything is weighed up, I find it really unlikely that a large group of people know someone who works at a small company. The % is crazy small. So when 50 people all claim the same thing you can be certain that its just a made up story. The reality is they may not have a uncle, or the kids been told a lie by the parents, or simply they don't want their life to appear mundane.

My brother said someone claimed the ITV was bringing back a show called "Knightmare" and she was on the team the following year. No surprise, it never happened. Which is a shame because Knightmare was a AWESOME show when we were kids.
