>Dephender: Yuyama said Latias was picked because it can fly and be invisible. There was no hidden meaning.What Yuyama actually said was that Latias was picked because it’s presence is mysterious, it’s a Pokémon that can be close to you and you don’t even realize it. It being able to fly and be invisible were qualities that helped.
>Dephender: Yuyama said the general concept was to focus on Ash being a 10 year old and the rest of the episodes were just to fill the gapWhat Yuyama actually said was that the general concept of the series was to re-evaluate Ash and Pikachu’s journey, and be a story about Ash, the forever 10 year old, just going about his daily life alongside fanservice and concepts they couldn’t touch on in the main series.
>Dephender: Yuyama said Misty and Brock were picked because why not? What Yuyama actually said was Misty and Brock were picked because everyone in the staff agreed they were the right choice, and the agreement was so quick and natural he didn’t even remember if there was a full discussion.
>Dephender: Yuyama said MPM09 exists because he thought why not bring TR’s Pokémon back, not to do some big finaleWhat Yuyama actually said was that MPM09 exists because he wanted to do an episode that focused on TR’s Pokémon coming back, bring up the question why they are coming back, explore Team Rocket’s current standings in the organization, and have some break up drama mixed in.
So yeah, don’t know what Adamant was on with the whole “why not” shit
