Anyhow- they were talking about Takeshi Shudo, the director of the first seasons of the ashnime and the first two movies.
>>54969056>>54969064>>54969107Shudo is given credit for creating Lugia because he needed her for the story of the second movie. He didn't design her alone but his input was certainly considered. He just called her X while working on the script, which is why one of the sketches for Lugia has it in her design. The anime also referenced this.
>why is Lugia male, then?Those in charge of the ads for the movie jumped the gun and gave Lugia a male voice. So the people making the movie were forced to use it, despite Lugia being feminine in every other way.
