>>13377420>for someone who's first favorite video game was Pokemon Yellow, it's a life-defining experience.I hear you OP. I always dreamed as kid of one day working for Game Freak on Pokemon (what childhood fan didn't?), but I always figured the only way was to either be a translator or someone that could help them with localization. But since that kinda stuff doesn't interest me (no offense). I just forgot about it. Drawing was my calling.
But never would I have imagined that they'd let a westerner design Pokemon for them. Pic related. James Turner designed seven Pokes for Black and White. So even though it's still an astronomical long shot, the fact that this happened gives me a sliver of hope that one day I could be lucky enough to do the same.
