Alright so we've all seen the image going around, the one with Colress holding the book. I honestly think the s/m logos being on there in the corners and on the sides are a huge stretch, but that book looks like it is honest to god the inspiration for the z crystals no matter how you cut it. This raises questions from me.

First off where is this picture of Colress holding the book from? I can find it on google easily, but that doesn't answer my question. Is it official B/W2 art? Is it a portrait that appears in B/W2? If it can't be properly sourced then well there we go.

But let's assume it's from the games somewhere, and once again please let me know if it is. My next question is this: Did GF have this in mind back in 2012 when they were developing B/W2, or did they look back and pick this tiny detail to build off of?

This isn't something that can be easily answered like the previous question, but it makes you wonder just how in-depth the development process is here.
