Today on Japan’s MSN page, it was revealed that one of Pokemon’s first writers, Mr. Takeshi Shudo, was rushed to a hospital after collapsing at the Nara Station. Reports say that he suffered from a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is the sudden bleeding from an area surrounding the brain. This could happen due to a head injury, repeated severe headaches, or a cerebral aneurysm.

I certainly wish the 61 year old well in his time of recovery. The man is working on other projects yet to come out and I would like him to be able to see them through just fine.
