>>42141070>Yeah this isn't how The Pokemon Company worksHe of all people should know that TPC changes shit all of the time.
Just that same year, TPC decided to make a Gen 1 remake on Nintendo Switch, rather than 3DS, using Pokemon GO as the base rather than the main series games. And the year before that introduced the first new Pokemon in an enhanced version.
Also, he of all people should have been aware that Pokemon have leaked well in advance of their actual formal announcements all of the time, especially during the days when CC was relevant.
