He knew it would become a soulless corporate machine.

He predicted the existence of /vp/ and bolted the fuck out when he still could

How come he didn't just make his own indie games after?

He still gets paid the big bucks as an executive producer for the franchise.

Yeah but what exactly does that involve? Miyamoto is listed as such on many games but as far as I know he hasn't been heavily involved in something for some time and just lets the younger staff get on with it

He basically cashed out. Tajiri is still president of GF but doesn't do anything - I think Masuda was asked once what he does, and the answer was something like 'he keeps an eye on different media', which the interviewer interpreted as him saying Tajiri just watches TV.

Tajiri never intended or expected this to become a billion dollar cash machine
He's just a shy autist that wanted to recreate his childhood catching bugs, so when things got beyond his scope, he made what he intended to be the final installment, and peaced out

He wanted it to end after GS but when it started blowing up in popularity they didn't want to stop churning out Pokemon games and he chose to drop out. Naka did the same thing with Sonic except Naka became even more of a clown as time went on

This. Probably the last big decision he made was convincing Nintendo to split ownership of Pokemon with Game Freak and Creatures so that his friends could still be around to look after his baby.

>>49581735
Naka was a massive asshole who only left when SEGA decided to try to "reboot" the series with Sonic 06 thanks to Naka's run as producer not hitting the numbers they wanted.

Man I know I'd probably come back and slap some people's shit around if I found out they kept turning my humble little bug catching game into some gay ass Dragon Quest style "world-at-stake" god catching game with intentionally stupid looking designs because they got spooked by Yokai Watch, I don't care how much money i was making, i'm sure I would already be set for life at that point anyway. I'd rather maintain the integrity of my original vision than let it become such a merch shitting shell of its former self.
