'''Shigeru Miyamoto''' is a | '''Shigeru Miyamoto''' ('''宮本茂''', born November 16, 1952) is a world-famous video game designer and creator, known as the man behind two of [[Nintendo]]'s most well-known franchises, {{smw|Mario (series)|Super Mario}} and {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}. He has worked on literally hundreds of games since joining Nintendo, including being behind the initial development of the [[Pokémon games]]. | ||
While [[Satoshi Tajiri]] had created the idea for [[Capsule Monsters]] with longtime friend [[Ken Sugimori]], when the idea for the game was pitched to Nintendo it was rejected initially. Miyamoto, however, took interest in the idea, and over the next five years, [[Game Freak]], alongside [[Creatures, Inc.]], another Nintendo developer, created the first Pokémon games, {{game|Red and Green|s}}. | |||
Miyamoto's vision for the series was a phenomenal influence, with the idea of [[Core series|paired versions]] being his own. Rather than have a single game, to emphasize the [[trade|trading]] aspects, players would have to link up with a friend to achieve the ultimate goal of [[Gotta catch 'em all!|catching them all]]. For this, the {{ga|Blue|main rival}} of the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|their remakes}} has "Shigeru" on his list of default names, while his [[Gary Oak|anime counterpart]] is directly named "Shigeru", in Miyamoto's honor. | |||

In | In {{smw|Yoshi's Story}}, two levels, {{smw|Jelly Pipe}} and {{smw|Torrential Maze}}, are made from newspaper clippings. The word "{{p|Pikachu}}" can be seen among them, but only in certain areas. | ||
In | In {{smw|Mario Artist|Mario Artist: Paint Studio}}, an official picture features someone drawing a [[Who's That Pokémon?|silhouette]] of Pikachu. | ||
In the {{wp|Animal Crossing}} series, one of the many items that a player must collect for his or her neighbors is a [[Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS]], though it is simply called the [[Pokémon Pikachu]] in the game. | |||
In | In the Zelda series, the {{zw|Keaton Mask}} introduced in ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time}}'' bears a strong resemblance to Pikachu, especially in its ears and coloration. The game mentions that the mask "has been really popular lately", a likely reference to Pokémon, as ''Ocarina of Time'' was released in the same year that {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the {{pkmn|anime}} were released in the US, as well as the same year that {{game|Yellow}} was released in Japan. | ||
In the | In the Mario series, one of {{smw|Super Mario Galaxy}}'s many galaxies, the {{smw|Buoy Base Galaxy}}, features a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped planet that contains a {{smw|Power Star}} inside. | ||
