Birth name Suguru is a male name.
Name changed to Yuu, a female name.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was written by a tranny, but Suguru Nakatsui and Yu Nakatsui are spelled identically in Japanese. I think those are just different readings of the same character. When I look it up, the wikipedia article says it's a gender neutral name common in japan.
I wouldn't trust MTL either, as someone who's read MTL stuff before, those language models gets their pronouns confused all the time when translating from japanese.

This could just be translation fuckery combined with a clueless weeb adding info to some anime website. Both Suguru and Yu can be written as 優. Looking up the full name, "中津井優", gives me links to several Pokemon related pages. I ran the Japanese Wikipedia page for Diamond and Pearl through Google Translate and it gave me Masaru Nakatsui - but only when I was on the mobile version of Wikipedia. Translating the desktop version gave me both Yu and Yuki.
Considering Japanese writing is complex, most weebs don't understand it, and machine translation is giving out different translations for the same name on the exact same page, there might have never been a name change in the first place. I didn't see anything about one on any of the other links. Then again, I don't understand Japanese either, but this seems like a simpler explanation than a secret Japanese troon.

Where did it all go so wrong?

Holy shit this is the man(/whatever) responsible for those fucking awful edgelord mega dex entries. That's right I'm more mad about that than the porn thing (unless he's also responsible for Salazzle in which case it's just even worse). I hate him, get rid of him right now

They appear to be different but still incredibly similar. On the right is the Pokedex 3D Pro Snivy with 3,922 polygons compared to XY Snivy with 5,222. I'm not a modelfag, but I can definitely see they used a higher detail sphere to start the head, and where the legs connect to the body appear slightly different. I'm not sure where in the leak is the beta 3D models though, are they in the BW SVNs or somewhere else?

I'm not a very experienced modeller, but... I think it's the same model? Or they're at least the same head, and a simplified body. I think the higher count helped make the lower count one.
This looks very schizo, so I'm sorry, but here:

I tried counting the... "Rings" for the model, and they line up 1 to 1 on the head, arm, and legs. They might line up on the leaves, too.

The major difference I'm seeing, is how each polygon is triangulated. In the lower one, they're connected more, with each cut connecting at the corner. But on the high count, they're more uniform, and facing the same direction.

ETA: did more of my "ring counting" to see if the torsos matched: they do. Screenshot_20241013_220103_Sketchbook.jpg
I skipped some of the rings where they had to cut in the legs and arms, but I skipped the same on each model.
The tails match, too.

Nintendo hired a former Capcom artist known for doing Mega Man lolicon and incest porn to draw for the TCG. This is not exactly out of character for them.

EDIT: Corrected, mixed up degenerate artists. This guy:

It was ALWAYS wrong

Gen 1 was a glitchy mess that is held together with duct-tape and rubber bands that also had way better looking beta mons and horrendous nightmare fuel looking sprites in the japanese versions.

Gen 2 was almost a disaster that didn't make it until Iwata came in and saved their asses. Also had way better looking beta mons.

GameFreak/TPC is like every other video game company from the 90's in that they were always doing stupid shit behind the scenes, but nobody knew about it until recently. The internet has really been the gateway that opens up to the world just how fucking retarded they all were and still are to this day.

It's really easy to convert a higher polygon mesh to a lower polygon one in pretty much every 3D modeling program, it's literally just clicking a few options then maybe manually cleaning up any minor issues that are caused afterwards.

I mean, you can see where pieces of it kind of do.

For example, the god Aus, アウス is very obviously changed into Arceus, アルセウス. Just has two more Japanese glyphs stuck in the middle of his name.

A lot of this lore stuff is Google translated. The time god Aus makes is イア, Ia. Compare to time dragon Dialga, ディアルガ. Note second and third glyph.

The higher polygon count for a game that would be released a year later makes me cringe so hard. No reason for that outside of sadism.

That's why I'm confused, because (from my layman perspective), there's not major difference between these two except for how the faces are triangulated. If one were really meant to be a lower poly count than the other, I would expect to see some meaningful differences between the meshes. The colors shouldn't be lining up exactly, after I've drawn over them like that.

And I was wrong in my initial comment, the lower count one isn't a simplified body. It still has the same amount of rings as the higher-count mesh.

As far as I can tell, the topology is identical. If I converted the tris to quads, I bet I would just have the same model, with the same amount of faces.

I think this might be a first draft vs the more efficient model, given the topology is the exact same.

he said it was intended to go in the game. even your example of the chart was clearly never intended to be part of the final product. we never got smilay or the gordon trio. other than these files existing at all, there doesn't seem to be any reason to think they wanted to make pedo typhlosion canon, which is why those books never made it into the game. wise decision on their part by all accounts.

Forgive me, are you confusing me with someone else? I do not recall mentioning a chart.
