And he was writer not creator.

So sad . I owe two years of middle school to this man.

Fix your thread title, he's not the creator of pokemon (that's Satoshi Tajiri)
This guy was the lead script writer for the first few seasons of the tv series and first few movies.

Also, it should probably go in the celebrity death thread anyway.

I owe most of elementary school to him oh god.

Bugger, beat by three minutes, the curse of fact-checking.

I thought he was the writer/creator of the original series.








Oh okay. Thank you.

In other words, the master of fillers.

I absolutely loved the first 2 movies though. Too bad

Was Pokemon that great of a show? I mean, I'm 34 years old so I missed the Pokemon thing by years and years. I even missed Power Rangers and that's an old series.

I always thought Pokemon was just one of those toy commercial cartoons.

Then again, I loved Transformers as a kid and hate all Transformers blasphemy.

The games got me hooked really. The show was there just to feed my addiction!

PIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

oh wait

The first few seasons of the show were good as a kid before they started to beat the thing to death.

It's like watching the old Megaman cartoon really, you liked it as a kid but you'll be damned to sit down and watch it now.

Regardless, he'll be missed. The card game and my first pokemon blue game are owed to the show D:

[Correction]

How many pokebucks did they get for defeating him?

[Fereydoon]

Damn it died before I could catch it. Now I have to reload my save and do all this shit again.

Did he write the ketchup episode?

[Drex]

the first couple seasons were entertaining at least, but there's only so many ways you can tell the same story before it gets old. once. now they just rehash the story with different characters as far as i know. so guy deserves props for being there first. it's basically just his story being told again and again in the new seasons, so technically he's still writing it........creepy.
