>>42403307>>Gacha game with anime connection gets panels where seiyuus promote and shill the game for maximum synergy>>updates when there is a new anime season with event related to anime>>Pokemon Masters similarly have a connection with a Pokemon-related anime, however, it's prime connection is with the mainline gamesThe multiple info drops from before the release and the dev interview only mention game characters, with Sugimori describing Masters as a celebration of trainers present in the games.
This ""connection"" is too small or neglected to have an influence on the chosen VAs, otherwise the game would have hired the proper ones and they would have their name listed when you check a character.
Pokémon masters is not designed to cater to the ashnime.

>>months later, Pokemon Masters still hasn't taken advantage of the hype surrounding sword and shield's release (for better or for worse) and at least had an event involving Galar-related mons.Dena is unable to use galar trainers/pokémon for some reason.
Are they disallowed to do it by TPCI for now?
Is it because they don't want the gen8 pokemon textures to stand out too much compared to the shitty 3ds ones?
Did GF want to make leaks as least likely as possible by not introducing Dena employees to swoshi stuff?
Did they fear that some of the new game's info would be public as soon as August, since it could have been datamined in Pokemon masters?
We don't know, but one sure thing is that Dena can't use gen8 right now
At least they did mention it via the shilling dialogues
