He was so attracted to insects, in fact, that his peers used to call him "Dr. Bug". | ||
Tajiri did not like school. His father wanted him to be an electrical utility repairman, but this is not what he wanted. In the late 1970s, the fields and ponds that Tajiri loved as a child were paved over by apartments and parking lots, and his idea for Pokémon grew, as he wanted to give modern children the chance to hunt for creatures as he did. Tajiri got into games when he was at technical school, spending all his time in arcades. He was such a big fan that one local arcade gave him a [[WP:Space Invaders|''Space Invaders'']] machine to take home. | Tajiri did not like school.
