POKéMON CREATOR DIED

[JrDude]

Oh wait, the creator is Satoshi Tajiri, only the writer of the anime, Takeshi Shudo, died.

Discuss this tragic event and how awesome first season, second season, thirtieth season was.

30th season?

He wrote my childhood...and now he's dead.

Brock's Japanese name in the anime is Takeshi, probably named after this guy.

Just recently, as of Best Wishes, Brock is kicked out of the show. Then his namesake dies shortly after. Coincidence?

I believe Brock was named in Japan after him, actually they named a lot of the characters after people who worked on the show.

Also if they had allowed Brock to go to Isshu with Ash, Takeshi Shudo would still be here today.

Yes, it's a coincidence. To believe otherwise is just retarded.

[Magnum]

There is still a chance. Have Brock return and he shall be reborn.

Of course. My point is that it's cruel irony, or something like that.
