He was no Leiji Matsumoto but that first season still made me cry sometimes. Here is the saddest moment in Pokemon history for your viewing pleasure

Who would have guessed that you and I...

1ST GEN WILL LIVE ON THROUGH ALL THE PEOPLE YOU TOUCHED AND INSPIRED!!

 

[faceless chick]

aww the only episodes which were good in the first place?

well this IS a serious loss man ;.;

 

[MasterRyan]

Noooo! CANT BELIEVE HE IS DEAD! just sitting here crying, heh, Let him rest in heaven, ill meet him someday

 

[ssgt splatter]

Oh, that's too bad. Well, great job with the first few seasons anyway my man. R.I.P.

 

[icame]

rest in peace, i watched that show all the time as a lad.

 

[nosafetynets]

Your memory will live on in the hearts and minds of all of us who toiled with Ash in the early years, desperate to catch them all.

 

[Carboncrown]

Time to find all of those VHS cassettes and have a marathon.

lol

KIDDING!

I loved the old Pokemon series. The new ones suck ass...and now life sucks ass...

I'll miss you~!

 

[Android2137]

Ah, so he was behind the days that introduced me to gaming. Even my sister said that it was a good show in the early days and she is by no means a gamer or an anime fan. I remember getting up at 6, just so I could watch it at 7 before school started... And he dies at 61. To me, that's not really that old for dying. That is so sad.

 

[ckam]

Wow, sad day. I remember watching the first season and actually enjoying it when I was a kid.

Also ... Let's not talk about War and Peace.

Pokemon started sucking ever so slightly as the seasons droned on but the episodes he worked on always seemed to stay fresh and great no matter how many times I smacked my VCR to play them. He was a great writer, I still own most of the movies.

Oh God....This might be Satoshi Kon's death all over again for me.

 

[LightspeedJack]

Damn I liked that show. I hope that dude is happy in the afterlife.

Spoiler

There is no afterlife.

R.I.P. Pokeman.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

No! My childhood :'(

I want to be the very best...

 

[TaboriHK]

Pokemon had writing? I honestly don't remember that.

 

[sanguinator]

all the flashy lights from the show probably shortened his lifespan.

 

[Tetranitrophenol]

Not soon enough... the damage is done...(O'_o*)


(in all seriousness, my respects for the diseased)
