I found the document OP is referring to. There’s actually two separate staff meetings that deal with the topic. MTG220829 is the specific interview that this
>>56665164 comes from
And yea, looks like it’s a general meeting talking about Horizons with all the big wigs at GameFreak and TPC involved. Iwao mentions his concerns that the anime didn’t seem to have a plan for Zygarde and that it might conflict with the debut of the new Mega. Sugimori expresses his frustration that the anime staff weren’t going to adapt the school despite its significance. Ohmori also says that the synergy between the anime and SV has fallen apart, and it may be a wasted effort. Hayashi expresses his dismay that the promotion may be ruined.
It’s not looking good
