I know Bron's human organs were put into a toy body, but that experiment failed and the other toys knew they were different. Since the poppy mixture is said to be able to transform, it's possible others were fused with a toy using it. The way they were turned into toys could be that they used a mixture of poppies to fuse a person with a toy combining them genetically and then did surgery to fix any issues. The bigger bodies project could've made the body first, added the human parts, and then used a poppy mixture to fuse them all together so it's more cohesive. The transformation being so traumatic and on a genetic level, it caused nearly complete amnesia. Bron's surgery where their human parts were just transfered to a toy body could've been a different experiment to try and get around the amnesia.

The cutout recordings might not be just recordings, at times its like they're speaking to you directly. When Mommy Long Legs was about to die she said, "He'll make me part of him.", and that could imply that the ones he grafts onto himself regain consciousness. What makes that a possibility is how odd it was for her to be more scared of being grafted than of dying from being pulled into the machine that was killing her. It's possible The Prototype has the ability to suppress the will of the ones he grafts onto himself and has an area of weak telepathic influence over living toys.

What makes me think they have limited telepathic influence is that when Huggy Wuggy escaped they were probably told to by them and when they reached the forest they became passive, wandered around, and only attacked if they were attacked. They suddenly acted aimless like someone who was no longer being controlled. Another hint at this is some of what Dogday said. "They want nothing more than to crawl beneath your skin. And eat away at you bit by bit..." "...We tried to fight it, The Prototype's control." They might be aware of their telepathic influence subconsciously, since no one has mentioned it.

The cutouts might have channeled the soul of some of the living toys he grafted and the screaming could've been him hurting them and cutting them off from talking to you. Since Dogday's legs were taken, it's possible a part of their will or soul talked through the cutout.

What makes me think this is possible is that Elliot Ludwig, the founder of Playtime Co., had a death in his family, his wife divorced him, and he was called a family man. He probably started the experiments to try and revive his daughter. In experiment 814 he tried to revive a rat.

Since The Prototype is grafting others onto themselves, that would mean they're able to revive their parts and use them. The Prototype's shrine shows them with multiple heads on their body and the only reason to keep them for someone like that would be if they were useful. Also Catnap saw them as a god, so they probably made the shrine as accurate as possible. That'd mean they figured out how to revive and use them. The ability to revive and graft their bodies could come with a downside. They have to overpower their wills constantly, but in exchange, they gain physical power, more eyes, and potentially their brains and memories. This would mean that it'd be possible for the ones grafted to occasionally use The Prototype's power to reach out.

So far, we know that the Rat Grinders have been farming exp instead of adventuring, their rogue Kipperlilly dug into Kristen's past and doesn't have to worry about school since they found the rogue teacher, they probably stole something from Fabian's basement that has to do with riding on clouds, they have a wizard, Oisin, that specializes in conjuration, they have a member of their party, Lucy Frostblade, that probably died, they're probably the reason Aguefort left to investigate a time anomaly, and they're probably the reason Gilear left. I think they might also be the reason the unnamed god is back and took over Cassandra.

Now that Ash isn't the main character of the series, at least for now, the future of what pokemon will be is a bit up in the air. The pokemon anime with Ash and now without both catered mostly to the children and the teen demographic. Right now would be the perfect time to grow their demographic and the demographic I'm talking about is older teens and adults that grew up loving and still love pokemon. Right now the issue with the teen and adult fan base is that the anime hasn't grown with the audience, they're hungry for pokemon content that's relevant to them and their tastes. They still love watching pokemon battles and the trainer's journey, but currently it's missing what draws in a more mature audience. It's missing a story that connects with them through personal struggle and growth. It's missing stakes that make you think something bad might actually happen or that grip your heart and make you feel for the character when they succeed, or fail, or stuggle.
