>What were the writers thinking?
They were thinking something along the lines of:
>"Ok, we need to make a show for kids based on those kiddy things called video games. What do the characters look like on the cover art? Ok, good enough, design something appealing to 6-12 year old US kids based on that. Lore? What do you mean the games have lore? Who cares? Videogames are just toys for little kids, nobody cares about the characters or story, just make up whatever for the show."
