[Grand Theft Scratchy]

In this episode, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, and history of one of gaming's biggest figures, Satoshi Tajiri. In this video we cover everything in Tajiri's carrier, from his beginnings making strategy guides, to his work founding Game Freak, collaborating with Nintendo, and creating the Pokemon franchise.

Just saw it. Crazy how many of these industry standards were apparently mere inches away from filing bankrupcy and giving up.

I like the origin of the series, that the guy grew up collecting bugs and eventually other animals he could find. People developing Nintendo games have some of the more interesting stories.
