>>43974334>He's been with the franchise since 03He literally only designed a fucking recolor for a side game (shadow lugia) until gen 5. Basically there but with no real power or influence at all.
Then with gen 8 he became lead art director. You see that disgusting purple tinge seen throughout the game, yeah thats him
You see the shitty wannabe bootleg sugimori trainer art? Yeah thats him
You see all the shitty garbage filler mon? Yeah thats him, he approved and designed some of them
You see all the shit npc designs? Yep he approved them.
tldr: the reason SwSh look like pokemon bootlegs is because of him diminishing the quality of an overall shit game
