>>29320246>I warned you that the execs are the ones responsible for the big decisionsWhile that may be mostly true, didn't the director (who's name slips my mind right now) pull drastic moves against some long time storyboarders' wills?
Serena cutting her hair and getting a redesign was one, and I think the director talked about it on an interview in a magazine.
I can only assume that Ash-Greninja was his idea as well, to give Ash something akin to the Mega powerhouses of Kanto and Hoenn.
But having it stay behind in Kalos gives off a message that they want to put it behind them and forget about it you know? -Even though the game devs were nice enough to give it a shout out in SM.
