:::Good call. Also i talked about this on the Bulbagarden Discord and someone pointed out that the two entries don't actually inherently contradict each other. That made me realize, in the former entry, Shudo never said he ''didn't'' conceive Lugia; just that the design was made later and he couldn't remember who did it. He could as well just forget he conceived the idea until much later when he realized "Oh yeah i did come up with that, huh".

:::Conceiving a Pokémon is very different from designing it. When Atsuko Nishida is given a design order from Tajiri to make a 'cute Pokémon' and comes up with Pikachu, it is not the case that we understand Tajiri to be Pikachu's designer. Shudo's blog entries are vague about what he conceived Lugia of being – and, in fact, where he is specific, that isn't what Lugia was in the end anyways. e.g. he didn't like the name, he didn't like that it wasn't portrayed as more feminine, and so on. It is a stretch to say he conceived of anything at all except "I want a new Pokémon for the movie". --[[User:INTERNETFRIEND|INTERNETFRIEND]] ([[User talk:INTERNETFRIEND|talk]]) 19:16, 24 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
