Who knows. It'd take at least a few years for us to see any effects of this. However, some are saying that his successor Ohmori is basically a carbon copy of him, so...

No, he was the music composer who somehow got into the director's seat down the line.

This. Iwata was responsible for Kanto in Gen 2. I forget who was responsible for hiding Mew in Gen 1

I believe that was Morimoto. He put Mew into the game after the debug tools were removed, which was dangerous because that mean that they could not bugtest Mew, and this was almost right before the game shipped, too.

Unfortunately it's very unlikely to reverse the terrible direction he's been taking the series.

Yeah, if anything, given that TPC has oversight over Game Freak, it may make things worse.

tbf, adding another bug to Gen 1 is like that Simpsons scene where all the diseases are trying to enter Mr. Burns at once, but can't fit through the door >_>

Yeah, for a while, he wasn't too bad, but his design philosophy changed around Gen 6.

For one, he seemed super concerned over kids having access to smartphone games now, which is the reason why the Battle Frontier was not in ORAS and why the games have been removing almost all semblances of complexity (like puzzles in dungeons, essentially making them hallways).

Interesting. He's been doing it for a loooong time, so if he wants to just become a Miyamoto figure, power to him.
