>TIME: But Pokémon is more popular than anything Miyamoto-san has done. Hasn't the student passed the teacher?>Tajiri: No, because Pokémon was made with Miyamoto-san's advice.Even when Satoshi WINS, surpasses Shigeru, the latter is still the driving force behind their development. Even though Pokemon went big, Shigeru stayed as THE big Nintendo dev, while Satoshi went obscure. Even when Ash got Top 16, Orange Cup, Top 8 and the Battle Frontier, Gary progressed as a scientist and has shown that he can still beat Ash (after Orange and after BF).
