We might not all be fans of his creations, but this is sad news.

Huh. I thought Satoshi Tajiri created Pokemon.

Ah, this guy was a writer for the anime. Gotta be thankful to him for writing all those episodes; whatever portions of his writing that made it through localization anyway. May he rest in peace.

Well, I go along with what the websites tell, although he apparently was a writer more than a creator.

That article has so many things wrong. Satoshi Tajiri is the creator, and is very much alive. Takeshi Shudo was one of the writers of the anime. He was there from the beginning and had also worked on several of the movies.

Might want to change the title, as it's pretty inaccurate.
