This AD oversaw development, led design, cutscenes etc.— Cinematic cutscenes weren't present in past Pokémon battle-sims— Stadium and PBR.
In Summer 2025, they mentored the future lead director/design staff following a major re-organization, and departed from a design role.

Around this time, a new Assistant Director was brought in (presumably GAME FREAK) who helped to "spearhead project recovery" past the alpha/beta stages.

A couple weeks ago, someone made me aware of public posts (NOT a leak) by a Pokémon Champions staff member, which revealed a lot about the state of its development from the very beginning.
Prior to January 2024, Champions' pre-production development was in a troubled state.
