Yup. Pikachu has his share of off-model moments too, like you can see on the cover. Condensing half the story into 47 pages didn't go well...Basically it has dick-all to do with the movie. There's no Melody, and the only thing we see of Shamouti is the shrine. Jirarudan looks the same but acts absolutely nothing like he does in the movie, and they kill him off halfway through, before Lugia even shows up. And Ash is off-model the entire time.
