>>46614105Takeshi Shudo, who directed a lot of early episodes for the anime as well as the first three movies.
He was a drug/alcohol addict and claimed it helped him work. He created Lugia for the second film and was obsessed with depicting Lugia as female because it was a "maternal Pokémon". When Lugia was given a male voice in the film against his wishes, he had a bit of an autistic breakdown. He later died from a hemorrhage thanks to his abuse.
He's still the only non-Game Freak person to create an main series Pokémon iirc.
