>>45046985>outside of people rightfully shitting on flying mons No, you didn't. Assuming one is Luvdisc, it's still perfectly viable to show up in the anime, show up in the TCG, show up in merch, what have you. and who's to say it won't be in the dex next gen? There's till heart scales, and lord knows they'll shit out another random utility those could be used for.
As a note, this is NOT a defense a Dexit. It was shit, and worst off all, it was indefensible shit. But no, no one lost heir favorites, they weren't Thanos snapped. They still exist and GF will well and fine still mention them when they please.
>>45046985>outsourcedI hope you don't think they weren't outsourced before. Or even before that for the early 3D games or Pokedex 3D Pro. Genius Sorority was never a big dev, and the mons they had to animate certainly started mounting, so I wouldn't be surprised if they got outside help. And GF has already gone on record stating that upwards of hundred of freelancer could be hired for the development of a Pokemon game and that very thing happened for SwSh, with it having literally more than 3X GF's regular staff noted as working on it (though I reckon a lot of those were translation or what have you)
