there is no proof that any of this transcript between Pokemon staff on BW to XY is even real so here's a thread about why so much of this info is just fucking wrong lmao
firstly if it is real, it's entirely Google Translated, which I'll get to later. "T" in this instance would not lead to any major staff besides Tajiri, who largely stepped back from the series when he handed the reigns to Masuda during 1997, during GS. https://x.com/Lewchube/status/...
not only is it riddled with autocorrect, but the timelines do not line up with how long it takes to produce the anime settei. Absofusion was also not planned, instead, a "Grey" version was, especially with the God Stone in BW's data. https://x.com/Lewchube/status/...
also comments on "overseas players" struggling with the Dream World during dev but the service was not externally adequately tested to this degree until six months later due to the US release. the auto-translate is also just wildly inconsistent lmao https://x.com/Lewchube/status/...
this is further reinforced by all existing prototype builds of Pokémon games starting off in pure Japanese until XY because they weren't designing for a worldwide release window it literally would not have been localized to the degree that ENG TESTERS could have struggled
