Well, Final Fantasy VII was sort of a special case, partly because I didn’t have any other pressing projects in the lead-up to X and Y, partly because it was a request from Jim the Editor, who has best friend privileges. I don’t want to say that I definitely won’t do it again, but I don’t plan to; certainly not in the near future.
So was playing a non-pokemon game just a one time thing, or are you planning to play other games in the future? If so (and if you have a WiiU at the time) may I suggest Earthbound(Mother 2 in Japan) for the SNES virtual console? Its developers, Ape Inc.(who later became Creatures Inc.), worked on it before working on the original Pokemon Red and Green, and it may be interesting to check out just to see how it may have influenced the Pokemon series.
