Satoshi Tajiri has Asperger Syndrome

(1/2) > >>

Eslin:
The creator of Pokemon, Satoshi Tajiri, has Asperger Syndrome. It is a form of Autism. Do you guys think his mental abnormality affected the creation of Pokemon and its glory?

Tattlefox:
when was this? o_O

I can't say it would affect it completely, there are other people helping him make decisions.

Mr_Dark:
Where did you get this information?

You should read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime

Great book. The main character suffers from Asperger Syndrome but the effects arnt a hinderence to his mathematical brilliance. He is unaware that he's any different than any kid his age. (except he knows for a fact that he's smarter more creative and more aware of his surroundings.)

His genius renders him mentally unstable at times but thats the price anyone pays for being that smart.

I highly doubt Asperger Syndrome has affected the Pokemon Franchise (negatively)

It makes the story all that much better. A person that inflicted with this "ailment" all of a sudden comes up with the most briliant idea of radomly catching monsters that fit in your pocket.


Plus. Aspergers (if im not mistaken)  is something that is diagnosed when you're young.

If this "news" is true,  Im sure Satoshi Tajiri and others were aware of this a long time ago.
