>>34201239My guess is that he created what he wanted to create and its ridiculous success allowed him to basically retire early and pass on the directorial duties to Masuda. Last time I heard he was actually INVOLVED in development of a mainline game was FRLG, though I might be misremembering and it could have been DP. He probably just sits in his office all day browsing the internet. Upon being asked what Tajiri's up to, Masuda told Game Informer something vague like "media research", which they assumed to mean he just does whatever he wants like watching movies or playing games.
