In what must qualify as the most important story you'll read today, we share with you the news that Game Freak and Pokémon director Junichi Masuda has arrived in the horribly rainy UK, chowing down on a cheeky Nando's and taking a surprising number of sheep photographs.
Masuda-san has arrived in the UK as part of a media tour, but with the upcoming Pokémon Sword and Shield being inspired by the region, it makes sense that he's also enjoying his visit by soaking in the culture. Over the last couple of days, he's been sharing snaps of his trip including a couple from The Pokémon Company International in London.
As one particular member of the Nintendo Life team will tell you, though, a UK visit isn't complete without a trip to Nando's. In the tweet, Masuda mentions that he's having the Nando's for lunch but will be back to working hard later.
It doesn't stop there, though. We promised you "a surprising number of sheep photographs", and we're happy to give you just that, as well as a bonus two-minute video recording. Perhaps this is some last-minute research for the adorable Wooloo?
If you fancy stopping by the Nintendo Life office for a chat, Masuda-san, you're very welcome indeed. Perhaps we can show you the wonders of a Toby Carvery?

Uh wow thats cool..
Lemon & herb?
Masuda must have a Timid nature.
But where’s the Nando’s Pokemon?
@nessisonett wouldn’t that be Combusken?
@Siddif no it’s peri-periken
I think we can safely assume what his favorite new Pokemon is. . . . .
As a Brazilian, that Barcelos Rooster from Portuguese folklore made me really, really confused about where in Europe Masuda was. Never heard of Nando's before, but that makes sense now
Hope none of those "Masuda should die for the national dex changes!" people are anywhere near him.
Seriously I can really understand why some people on the internet never want to show their face or even reveal their last name. I imagine a lot of known people, if they could do it again, would have kept their privacy.
@dux As a Portuguese living in London, that rooster being used by Nando's annoys me a little bit. There's absolutely nothing Portuguese about Nando's, but they market it as if it's Portuguese (and South African apparently). It's basically a marketing insult that seems to have won the heart of Brits.
PS - I only go for Lemon & Herb too 'cause I hate spicy food and actually Lemon drizzled chicken is more common in Portugal than spicy.
Cool.
Now I'm just waiting for the inevitable assassination attempts...
@RazumikhinPG I decided not to comment on the "so very traditional fried chicken of Portugal" on the possibility that I could be unaware of something, but yeah, I just think they liked the look of the rooster
