I mean, I get it Sugimori was a shill ever since he worked for Gamefreak. He shilled a lot of times. But those things he shilled were mostly his own creations. This on the other hand is a new low. I never would've thought that he would sink this low. Just remember all the fantastic fanart we had of an awesome, well liked Litten evolution. Gamefreak probably had one too. But this is the part where the shill, Sugimori comes in. Because he is a shill and likes Tiger Mask, something no one except him knows what this shit even is, he came up with a brilliant idea. He told the designer of Litten's evolution to scrap the thing and make things go his way. Though instead of designing this shill abomination himself he got an absolute amateur with no understanding of design to do it. This made Sugimori's shilling even worse, spawning this... questionable design. Now as if this wasn't enough he even ensured that it gets promoted the way he wants. How can he get away with this? How can he get away with shilling another unpopular franchise, ruining a decent starter design and bringing the terrible fanbase of it to /vp/?
