>>47464490>shudoHasn't been relevant to the series since he had a mental breakdown over his self-insert being turned into a man for M2 anon.
That he also wanted to "end" the toy advert, when the franchise wanted to continue spinning the story out to continue selling merch is another. They reached a critical incompatibility issue and kicked the mental case off the brand.
The fact they turned around and made a girl'two for Genesect movie should have keyed you into how they felt - they confirmed at promo for M1 3d remake they made Genesect as they did, to avoid dealing with Shudo's estate to use OG mewtwo.
