Pokemon Writer Passes Away

[tehweave]

That's sad. I really loved the first season of the TV series, and still play the games today.

Takeshi Shudo, you will be missed.

 

[EHKOS]

R.I.P. Also thank you for some of the best anime ever. The first season was all I would watch. Thank you for the awesome episode where James buys a magikarp in a golden ball.

 

[El Poncho]

Today was bad, but this has made it 10x worse

He was the very best!

 

[Onomatopeia]

A SubAriados Hemorrhage!

It's such a shame, he was responsible for those first few episodes that added a dimension of magic to the Pokemon universe for me as a young adolescent.

RIP Mr Takeshi Shudo.

I loved Pokemon back in the day, still do actually. It was the first anime I ever saw. It's what got me into the genre, so thank you good sir, thank you.

First mewtwo dies, then latios, then lucario, Now the creator. Rest in Peace.

 

[Hippobatman]

Rest in peace, Mr. Shudo.

Even though you didn't know it, you have influenced, and still influence, my life. I tip my hat to you.

Spoiler: To your memory!

Nadesico(and stilva) and Legend of the Galactic Heroes were great!

 

[Le_Lisra]

That's a shame.

I liked the early episodes. Nice chunk of childhood.

RIP dude.

 

[ProtoChimp]

I am genuinley crying here. Rest In Peace you absolutely fucking glorious man. You're awesome incarnate.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

I'll be honest, I couldn't stand the Pokemon series at all, but its still sad anyway.

 

[dalek sec]

Aw damnit... those early episodes were a good chunk of my childhood and really helped me get into anime in general. Rest in peace good sir and thank you for your work on this series.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

No...

This sucks. I hate this.

Now we just have to *gag* work with the writers they have right now.

Well, I better continue to ignore the anime now. Its just a shame the guy who made the first few seasons resonate with my childhood is gone now. I shall now go visit the Pokemon tower in Yellow and morn you for about three minutes before going back to reality.

 

[Dr Bob]

Great, I'm starting to tear up.

 

[kajinking]

Now I feel weird, I suddenly got the urge to watch the classic pokemon episodes last night and I now I read this. Creepy...

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Rest in peace you old legend.

Let us remember the theme song now that created an awesome generation.

 

[Aura Guardian]

And I cried when I heard about this. Sad face. RIP Takeshi Shudo

 

[Folio]

So that's why Pokémon was so repetitive at the Jhoto season (and beyond) the writer didn't work on it!

:'( that's a shame, really. I hope god will take care of him when he tells him the REAL Pokémon story.

 

[Duffeknol]

A good man passes, he leaves good behind. Thank you for that. Rest now.

 

[LitleWaffle]

Man, why do all the awesome people have to die?

My condolences to his family. RIP
