If I set out to make a compilation of short stories and I set you as the one who gets to choose the stories and the one who edits them, and in the end the stories are badly edited garbage it's mostly your fault.
Should I have chosen you? Should the people you took the stories from even be writers? Possibly not so in that way we all possilby share some of the blame but it's primarily your fault the book sucks because you were in charge of story choice and editing them, not us.
Turner is you in this analogy. He had final say and had the power to tell them to go back to the drawing board if necessary. Do Ohmori and Masuda share some of the blame for choosing him? Yes. Should the artists under him be artists -at least for Pokémon? Not from the looks of these. But he is still the filter through which they passed and therefore shoulders the blame for them sucking.
