No AG head writer?

I heard that during AG, there was no one credited as "series composition" or the head writer.

So between the times of Takeshi Shudo quitting during Johto and Atsuhiro Tomioka taking over in DP, no one was telling these writers what to do (besides directors and producers)? That would certainly explain the climax of the Team Magma and Team Aqua storyline.
 
I think it was Tomioka. Going through Bulbapedia's list of eps written by him, he did write a lot of important episodes for that series. Strange that there's no series construction credit though.
 
I think that would explain why the formula wasn't quite beaten to death yet during AG, and why the Battle Frontier ended up being the last time Ash achieved a major victory, before we knew exactly what was going to happen from DP onwards, until SM tried to shake up the formula again with the Trial leaders recently.
