>>55697387Artworks are irrelevant, they arent present at all in the game, even the initial professor cutscene sprites tends to be different.
The second one is drawn to be obviously in the ash anime, it doesnt matter at all. All you see about him in the game is his throwing pokemon sprite, the ID sprite and his overworld sprite, which are amazing.
His generations rendition was also very cool looking. And I'd dare to say, effectively he looks better than the original design, even though I like that the original looks like a 9 years old while the new one looks 15.
