Satoshi Tajiri has Asperger Syndrome
« on: January 19, 2010, 01:20:06 am »
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?

when was this? o_O

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

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.

Am I a ghost or a man? Or a man-ghost offspring that come from mi father's inexplicable penetration of mi mother's ghostly woman parts? Or am I a child imitating a man's ability to change into a ghostly form in order to preserve mi appellation?

Since when has he had Asperger?

Also there are other people designing the Pokémon, I'm not even sure if he's responsible only for the actual Pokémon concept. Ken Sugimori is the main man behind the Pokémon (creatures) concept, he drew the first 151 all himself, and all official Pokémon drawings are by him.

The main man responsible for the GAMES is Jun'ichi Masuda (at least since D/P/Pt) who is also the main music composer.
