I know there is a section in this talk page about Lugia's creator being Takeshi Shudō, but I didn't want to drag up conversation that is over three months old. :/ Does anyone think Shudō's death be mentioned on this page? We have a whole Bulbanews post about it and all...

:It's definitely worth mentioning somewhere (it's mentioned on [[Takeshi Shudō|his article]]) but I don't really think it needs to be mentioned here. His death doesn't really have anything to do with Lugia. :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#006400">'''Zesty'''</span>]][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|<span style="color:#3CB371">'''Cactus'''</span>]] 06:31, 29 October 2010 (UTC) | :It's definitely worth mentioning somewhere (it's mentioned on [[Takeshi Shudō|his article]]) but I don't really think it needs to be mentioned here.

::Before yersterday, I hadn't noticed the claim that Shudō had created Lugia. Even though I wish this were a better time for raising my doubts, I have to say that I'm highly skeptical as to the veracity of that statement. | |||
::The reason that Shudō's column makes me raise an eyebrow is that Gold and Silver were supposed to be released in early 1998, so Lugia must have existed in some form back then - at a time when Shudō was working on Movie 1. In fact, I would think that Lugia would have been seen in the opening of the demo that was playable in the Spaceworld 1997 event; this [[http://park3.wakwak.com/~pokepale/pokeold/archive/kingin.htm|website]] even lists Lugia as one of the earliest known Pokémon whose data changed as a result of the delay (its Pokédex number was altered). | |||
::More importantly, eight Pokémon designers were listed in the [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Staff_of_Pokmon_Gold_and_Silver|game credits]]. Why wasn't Shudo's name included? He should have at least been given a special thanks if he had really designed one of the version mascots; I can't imagine that Game Freak wouldn't have given him credit where due. | |||
::I don't wish to taint Shudō's reputation or anything like that, but it seems to me that he was fond of Lugia that he chose to embellish his part in its creation. I can easily believe that he was the one who coined the term "Pokémon X" and thought of associating Lugia with the bird trio, as well as giving it the role of a protector. But those things didn't influence the games at all, and I don't think that a blog column made more than 10 years the fact is very convincing evidence. -07:54, 29 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
