They should publicly apologize to the artist they stole from.

Man, this world is brimming with awesome artists who would consider making official art for a Pokemon game a genuine dream job. And they still feel the need to pull lazy sleezy shit like this? Cringe.

Reminds me of when GoHands plagiarised costume art for an upcoming CLAMP anime adaptation(which was subsequently cancelled as a consequence)... Which was stupid for a number of reasons, but main one being what sort of art is CLAMP so famous for? Yes, that's right, dress and costume art..

I’m still miffed about this. I was looking forward to seeing this and having all the laughter that came with it. Ugh.
