R.I.P. Takeshi Shudo, you made many children, teens, and even adults happy. Pokemon will surely live on… :’) Ash will become a master someday… he sure will :D

**Edit: Well “sorry” to those who are complaining he isn’t the original creator. He did however “create” the first three movies and wrote the whole plot (which we all grew up with) … so he is technically one of the creators of Pokemon. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT WITHOUT HIS STORY PLOT IN THE BEGINNING(and first 3 movies), NOTHING ABOUT POKEMON WILL EXIST NOW? So yea, he’s still a “creator.” I am not that big of a pokemon fan to know that. It just so happens the website I read led me to that false information… (I should have been more careful though) I just really like the show and stuff. I changed it after 10 minutes I posted that because someone had already told me. However, everyone is reblogging the wrong one, so that information is being spread around. I’m very terrible sorry once again…. m( _ _”)m
