Fake facts are fake. Unless concept art has been leaked, it's a cropped body stocking under a vest

To answer your question OP, I think they know that there's an older fanbase that grew up with the games but don't necessarily sexualize designs as a nod to them. I think it's just that Sugimori's getting older and hornier and his assistants are either polishing up his old work or enabling his current state.

What can be done about this? It is negatively affecting the franchise.

Because Waifushit is all japan has been shitting out lately, and Pokemon is no exception.
Parents blew their wad back in the 90's with muh fundamentalism and muh evolution, so nobody listens to 'em anymore.

Japan has low birthrates, so it could be seen as a positive and one the west side of things, people are mad about sex-censor happy Nintendo and want Pokemon to be part of the change they need

Those parents lost their buying power as core consumers. Now they're just the grandparents collecting their pension, AARP benefits and treating their grandchildren to all the neat shit they can with their extra money as the secondary consumers but not the influential ones.

This. Pokemon is literally going the way of Waifu Emblem at this point. Expect Gen 8 to be a dating sim VN and Gen 9 to just straight up be an H-game.

Fuck, why does everything we love die?

The only difference between back then and now is that the art-style was done to accommodate the game boy's resolution. Girly pics were always there, the Beauty trainer class, half-nake Misty, Lass being called the "Mini-Skirt" class in Japan. It was never not there.

Sugimori's style was capable of much more detail in Pulseman for select scenes and about the same year G/S released, a PlayStation game called "Click Medic" had some characters that weren't so socket-eyed. It's fair to say that his style evolution was more than just because of Gen 3.

>When we developed Red and Blue we weren't explicitly targeting children. If you look at the animation, for instance, that was meant to appeal to kids with cute designs and so on. But if you look at the game and that design, even from Red and Blue it was intended to be a game that adults could also enjoy. In that regard, there's not been any change in how we design the games.

>Just like how children and adults both like playing soccer -- children might like it at first because the ball is round and colourful but adults put far more thought into it.

People tend to forget there's been a full class of mostly naked women since the very fucking beginning. Complaining about a little skin now is about 20 years too late.

A sticky something

Pokemon always had sluts. Remember how the first couple of seasons of the anime had a new chick in thigh highs or something every other week?

>>32479907
Even before that, pretty much any female non-League NPC trainer barring the medium were leg monsters.

They're a business, they don't care as long as the game sells.

>>32479969
They're ALSO a business. That's the correct way of putting it. They care about sales, but some of them like it just as much, if not more than the fans.
