And here's Shigeru Ohmori drawing Lillie and Mallow in their anime swimsuits.
And to top it all off, here's Masuda's interview where he talks about how Game Freak and OLM work together:
http://www.siliconera.com/2018/11/14/pokemon-lets-go-director-junichi-masuda-on-why-new-characters-2p-mode-and-more/>Masuda spoke a bit on how Game Freak coordinates with the Pokemon anime makers OLM, Inc. They hold regularly scheduled meetings and have a joint planning committee for movies, where two to three Game Freak members participate in the planning, as well as confirm the new Pokemon designs. However, usually they just send out basic details and let OLM do its thing.>And don't forget every single one of the other anime only OCs as well.Game Freak of course doesn't design every single OC that pops up in the anime. But to suggest that OLM doesn't answer to what Game Freak demands is stupid.
