When Island of the Giant Pokémon was being conceptualized, Yuyama even toyed with the idea of writing the script for it himself, because head writer Takeshi Shudo was dragging his feet on putting that episode into rotation. Shudo eventually wrote the screenplay himself. #anipoke

Chief Director Daiki Tomiyasu wrote the screenplay for today's episode. This isn't unheard of (Yuyama has a few writing credits, including Ripple in Time, and Yajima co-wrote M21 and M23). I think three episode credits gets you membership in the Japanese Writer's Guild, which has union benefits.

Also, shadowdropping a video tomorrow about this. I ultimately decided not to go with the threatening thumbnail. youtu.be/3vjRkg1nFd0

BREAKING: SeaofSerenity just released fansubs for the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl series. You know where to find it.🐱 For the first time ever, the entire Pokémon anime exists with the original Japanese audio and English subtitles. #anipoke

I've had others comment that Shudo would've liked Sun and Moon's goofiness or Horizons' character growth, and those are fine things to think about, but the reality is that Shudo's only contact was Yuyama asking him to do one more episode. Even thinking about Pokémon was bad for his mental health.

Got a comment today that Takeshi Shudo "would've been ashamed that his philosophy was abandoned after XY," and ignoring that his "philosophy" was abandoned while he was still working on Pokémon, maybe don't co-opt a dead man's legacy to lend legitimacy to a show he wanted no part of.

one time my old man was driving us on the highway and i started telling him about captain planet. he did not believe that it was a real show and i started singing (what i could remember of) the theme song. at the end some douche cut us off and almost hit us. we were going 80 mph, we woulda died.

shudo mighta not invented this or that, but it's the episode composition and openness in willing to do unconventional scripts is what gave that gave that anime its identity. once he left, it disappeared and never came back.

In the spirit of April Fools' Day but without sacrificing the Supper Mario Broth veracity policy, here is a fact that seems so outlandish as to be a joke, but is actually true: in 1993, a Sega ad campaign briefly planned to use profanity to slander Mario.

Preliminal design for a 1993 Sega ad, recovered from the archives of the Brio toy company, which handled Sega's marketing in Sweden [a picture of Sonic asking "WHO THE F*CK IS MARIO?"] Final design of the ad, which replaced the attack on Mario with the slogan "Happiness can be bought for money" [a picture of Sonic saying "LYCKA KAN KÖPAS FÖR PENGAR"] Source: Martin Lindell, martinlindell.com/2019/11/24/sonic-springer-snabbt-in-i-sverige, via @FeoUltima, x.com/feoultima/status/1964670301712908579
