Pokemon anime creator passes :'(

[MacNCheese.]

Why wasn't a thread made about this?!

Takeshi Shudo, head writer of the original Pokémon anime series, has passed away. He was 61 years young and friends with tons of little monsters, who will all miss him dearly

Takeshi Shudo is also credited as the sole writer for the first three Pokemon movies, as well as many novels based on the series.

Over the weekend, Mr Shudo was found to have collapsed at a train station in Nara City and was rushed to hospital. He was pronounced dead soon after, suffering from a subarchnoid hemorrhage.

Shudo worked as cheif writer of many of the Pokemon episodes from 1997 to 2002. He also wrote for 'The Magical Princess Minky Momo".

*insert pokemon* tries using Resurrection. It isn't super effective Rest in peace you Pokémon patriarch, you.

I believe this was already discussed a while ago in The Snorlax Room. Although old news, it's still sad though.
