“When you're a kid and get your first bike, you want to go somewhere you've never been before. That's like Pokémon. Everybody shares the same experience, but everybody wants to take it someplace else. And you can do that.” WantFirstsKidsCan DoShareBike Author:Satoshi Tajiri
“What's more important is that the monsters are controllable by the players.Pikachu is like the name of the species. But each player can name their own Pikachu. So kids can relate to it more. They get more attached to them that way.” WayImportantKidsNamesPlayerSpeciesMonstersRelatePikachu Author:Satoshi Tajiri
“I was really careful in making monsters faint rather than die. I think that young people playing games have an abnormal concept about dying. They start to lose and say, ‘I’m dying.’ It’s not right for kids to think about a concept of death that way. They need to treat death with more respect.” PeopleThinkingWayNeedsKidsYoungDiesGamesLosesDyingConceptsTreatsCarefulMonstersAbnormalPlaying Games Author:Satoshi Tajiri
