I forgot that a new Pokemon game means new waifus. Sonia was trending on twitter right away basically. And yea, I was thinking that too Cow. I'm going to hold judgement on it for when we know the full workings of the mechanic.
Also, I wonder if their offices really have any Pokemon-related stuff sitting about normally or if it's just put out for presentation for the directs. Or maybe they have far too much around the office and have to actually clean it up a bit for the directs.
