Anyway, Pokemon anime uses Detective Pikachu character designs exclusively. Jupiter Corp is now the developer of the mainline series but still has to listen to Nintendo as parent company.
TPCi replaces GameFreak portion with Disney who in turn can spring a little extra for better talent than Sarah Smokes-a-Lot and Cathcunt, including voice talents like Kelly Hu as Jessie and Josh Keaton as Prof. Sycamore.
However when X/Y ends, Disney asks about retoasting the anime series to reconnect with Genwunners and aim for older male audiences the next round and reboots the series from scratch and gets writers from their Marvel animated universe to pitch some fresh writing in a writers' pool with Masuda and some OLM reps (with an interpreter). A consensus is made and a Pokemon series with less fat is born.
