>>55995086The game is released in episodes and there was a long time until the final release, the devs might've seen people mocking the scene and retconned Medicham dying.
In that same update they gave 2 characters implied child rape backstories btw. Oh and they also made it so you could skip a scene of another character throwing himself from a bridge because people might get triggered by it, kept another suicide jumping (attempt) and the devs self-insert getting beheaded by a Hydreigon as mandatory though.
