And quite possibly straight up no one since I doubt even devs know as much all around as I do as people generally stick to their area of expertise when working on a project.
Though, to be fair, only really in the area of the games. I do know a little bit about the rest of the franchise but I don't really care abut the TCG, manga, or anime etc., so they're not something I've been autistically obsessed with. I haven't even read past the beginning of the Johto arc in the manga, for example. I have no doubt that in the other areas there are many WAY more knowledgeable about them.
