Pokemon’s Takeshi Shudo passes away [R.I.P]

Over the past few days we were notified online that Takeshi Shudo the lead writer for the Pokemon series collapsed at a train station, he was immediately rushed to hospital after suffering a subarachnoid haemorrhage and sadly today we was notified from Japan that Mr Takeshi passed away. It is a very sad moment here at Push-Start as we have a huge respect for him as a writer of a beloved series we have all spent countless memorable hours playing. He will always be remembered for the titles he worked on, his life accomplishments are huge and we are sure that he knows this. We are sure that many other gamers out their and fans send all the respects to Mr Takeshi Shudo. His games will forever live on! The Push-Start Staff send all our respects to his family.  Rest in piece, Takeshi-san.
