We were robbed and we'll never see his original vision. Mewtwo...
>>58893668Shudo, Tajiri and Masuda were the only ones that understood pokémon.
>>58893746and now they're all gone...
>>58894351she's a fucking slut who would poop herself in her pants
>>58893668QRD?
>>58895258he was the head writer for the first three Pokémon movies and the first season of the anime. He absolutely hated the idea that Ash would never evolve or that the series was meant to go on forever, and he wanted to write a more “adult” story.iirc thanks to the chaos caused by the Porygon episode he got the chance to push more mature themes in the first Mewtwo movie, where in the Japanese version Mewtwo isn’t really a villain but a clone questioning the meaning of his own existence, and Mew is kind of an asshole who argues for the superiority of the originals.The third movie was supposed to have a completely different script. I won’t deny that some of his ideas were a bit edgy, like Pokémon rebelling against humans, but he genuinely wanted to write something with depth instead of just a kids’ cartoon. Also, I think he wrote Team Rocket’s intro monologue.
>>58893668he didn't work on the gamesso?
>>58893746>Masuda
>>58893746Nah, it was Shudo. People give him shit for being a boozehound and over Lugia but like it or not he understood Pokemon better than the creators who eventually sanitized it to all hell. Pokemon with a slight edge. That's all I ask for.
if Pokemon were not related to Nintendo
he also explored the "what if humans can talk to pokemon" before Yellow and N
>>58893746>no mention of Morimotoshamefur dispray
>>58895403Lugia would not exist without him and Masuda loved the 2000 movie so much that he wished to make the games more like it, starting with Crystal.
>>58895427Yes, Masuda
>>58895901Morimoto (both as the Battle Designer and as a Director) and early Kusaka too, yes.
>>58895427Yes, Masuda.What he's said, and hindsight has vindicated him.The man was a lightning rod for criticism, yet genuinely tried to stem the tide of Pokemon ending up how it is now. Every single thing he was blamed for, he understood, and felt himself.He absolutely did fail, but not for lack of trying. Now that he is gone, there is no more resistance to the enshittification of Pokémon going forwards
>>58896009>>58895987masudafags lmao he ruined pokemon everyhting paste gen 2 is fucking dogshit and got worse in gen 5
>>58896014Ok esl-kun, but Masuda also directed gen 2.
>>58895895The very first Pokemon manga, starting the same month the games released, had talking Pokemon, and the anime was originally going to have them as well until they changed their mind.The unique thing he was among the first to explore was "what if humans CAN'T talk to pokemon".
>the only one who cared about pokémon was an alcoholic drug addict, bitter and angry men 20 years his junior were his ultimate bosses AND were already more wealthy than he could ever hope to achieve in his lifetime
>>58896736>the only one who cared about pokémon was a human being instead of a soulless corporateglad we agree
>>58896736Shudo had plenty of chances to make loads of money for little to no work. He was not into anime for that. He was a man with principles, something worthless scum like you cannot even begin to understand. The one time he did not adhere to his principles, Lugia's voice, made him regret it so much that it made him feel unworthy of working on a even on a silly show for children, despite everyone begging him to come back. He was not a perfect man but, on this regard, he deserves nothing but respect.
>>58896710Masuda was the only reason gen2 even came out. Game freak keeps self sabotaging out of spite because they didn’t want to make Pokémon anymore and their incompetence pissed of Taijiri so much he ditched them for ruining his vision. Masuda took the helm and whipped those retards to keep the ship afloat long enough to fir Iwata m and I arrive and bail their worthless asses out
>>58897566>fir Iwata m and I arrive and bail their worthless asses outEither you had a stroke there or your AI did.
-long enough for Iwata to bail there worthless asses out
>>58897606>thereDumb ESL.
>>58893746Add Morimoto but yes otherwise this is a Trvke
>>58895385interesting, i never rly watched the anime closely but there didn't REALLY feel like there was some big shift in the writing between the first few seasons and the later ones
