>>54361134Nigga read the fucking post. SM had two character designers, Nakano and Yasuda. Nakano designed most of the really ugly designs people shit on all the time, while Yasuda designed the others. After SM ended, Nakano got fired as a character designer and Yasuda redesigned all his characters for the new show. This is why Mallow and Lillie and shit look exactly the same in both shows, while Ash and Team Rocket and all the other really shitty Nakano designs were tossed out and replaced with new Yasuda ones. And good fucking luck finding a single person anywhere that thinks Nakano's SM designs were better than Yasuda's Journeys designs.
They literally dropped the man as character designer and told his partner to redesign all his characters.
