From Yoshida's notes: "Immediately after, it was 1996, the year in which the memorable first episode of Pokémon was broadcadsted on TV. I was in charge of the scene that goes from the game boy screen until the clash between the two trainers who make Nidorino and Gengar fight. I did it "that way", am I right? (= ´∀ ｀)
I subsequently participated in many of the later Pokemon series but it was my only appearance in the first.
