>>22579789Takeshi Shudo was head writer, and he was one of those based people who saw his program as something more than advertisements. He tried his best the make the series something that could be enjoyed by young and old alike.
Unfortunately, the other producers did see the series as nothing more than an advertisement, and eventually Shudo ended up leaving towards the end of Johto, though his input seems to have been somewhat neutered during Johto with all the filler bullshit.
Though it's a pity he died, he would be happier not knowing what become of his work. Pic related.
