I fail to see how this is relevant. The exclusion of sketches on other starters doesn't negate the already existing sketch.Because A) It was paired with the sketches of the other starters who did not reference Ash or any other character
Also why would there be a reference of Ash (or any other character) on other starters if Ash clearly isn't getting Decidueye or Primarina yet? Or if neither of those fully evolve forms is appearing in the anime soon?
You're joking right? Pokemon Anime episodes are made 6 months in advance and the games are developed even earlier than the anime. So yes, I can logically assume BOTH anime and the games were being planned.B) At the time those sketches came out, Mallow wasn't even introduced for the game, hence you logically cannot assume there was an anime being planned for a game not even close to being released
Again, just because it is from Game Freak does not mean they could not have taken a sketch from an anime scene as a reference especially if Incineroar was already planned to have its anime appearance.C)The reason to believe these a GF sheets and not anime sheets are because they official artwork for these guys are literally taken from them
I'm not saying this is an anime reference sheet. This is a concept art for Incineroar with a sketch from an anime scene. Otherwise how do you explain Mallow, Ash, Pikachu...?D) The focus is still the starters unlike most anime reference sheets which put just as much focus on the characters and Pokemon
What design? There are hardly any details on Ash in the sketch. He has a hat, clothes and a Pikachu on him.E) Why is Ash's design different in that sheet compared to his design for Sun and Moon?
