>"Yes (laughs), I think it was 1994. Or was it '95? I can't remember anything anymore, but it was before we handed in the demo for Pokémon Green for an executive meeting. At that point we were on a knife's edge (laughs), we were fucked. All we had of the code was a six lines .txt called 'New document', none of us knew how the first thing about coding back then and we ain't starting now. (laughs) Ishihara and I shared an apartment in Tokyo which doubled as the GameFreak studio, the rent was cheap because it was a former child porn studio that got busted or something. We were doing coke while waiting for Pikachu, the escort Ishihara had called in earlier for us to tag team. An usual friday at GameFreak back in those years (laughs)
>We hear a knock on the door, then goes Ishihara all excited to open. Then comes in shouting a dude in a suit (Satoru Iwata) and the Tajiri nerd like some scared kid. Iwata turns over the cocain plate, says he can't believe that we haven't gotten anything done, and calls me the laziest motherfucker he's ever met in his life
>I'm still silent, Ishihara growing increasingly nervous. He knew I hid my drinker father's WW2 Nambo under the couch, and he knew I had used it before over hearing much less shit. I swear I was about to shoot Iwata right then and there. I had served jail time before, in my diary I sign it as vacation time. I sometimes wonder what would a world without Pokémon look like, if I had relapsed right then and there
