>>40587723Game Freak's development process must be very interesting if they:
1. Scrapped a legendary Pokémon (probably because they wanted to release 2 game versions at the same time instead of 3, and "Team Sky" sounded stupid.)
2. Changed its design in the movie to make it easier to animate.
3. Adjusted its design to make it Fighting type and more humanoid and recycled it as a Fire Starter
4. Put a totally different Pokémon in its place (Ziz)
There's a lot of evidence of it happening but the order of events is not clear.
