>>56739607Hard to say if they ever intended all the characters to be in their og designs like FRLG, where mostly everyone was a slight modernization of designs they already had at one point. This was the only second remake, so maybe they didn't think about going all out yet. The stuff with the vs sprites are just placeholders. A good chunk of placeholder vs sprites for Kanto characters don't even use their FRLG design: Erika isn't wearing a kimono, Blaine isn't in a white lab coat, Surge already has his shades from HGSS. Although in one build from 2007 I think, Falkner does have a battle sprite with his og design, though this is the same build with Ethan in his redesign and Lyra, so who knows
>though does she ever interact with Candice in any game/mediayeah, in the event that Eusine and SS Silver debut in, Jasmine is being a referee for a match between Candice and Silver, both her and Candice also comment about how much Silver has grown as a trainer
