Can anybody get a picture of this guy? -- Jared A. Hunt 14:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Bulbapedia.com have a photo of him so you could check it out for posible use . By the way the url is for the site itself not the page the photo is in . Richardson j
Actually he has had an recent interview with game center CX about 5 years ago , I found it some website called gamemuseum.
[1]17 Jul 2009
It'd be good to flesh out the Lifestyle-ish section with a mention of how much he's earned; did he get millions off of Pokemon, or no? What has he done with it? etc. -- Gwern (contribs) 20:38 5 December 2006 (GMT)
I think we need more sources than a single times article on this man, since so many sites rely on this one source. Aren't there any OTHER interviews?

A new book, aimed at children, is being published about Tajiri - [2]. - ΖαππερΝαππερ Babel Alexandria 15:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
in this article, it is stated that the Nintendo gameboy appeared in 1991. This is not true. The game boy was made first available on April 21, 1989 in japan and sometime in august 1989 in America. NP Chilla ( talk) 18:00, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
He's not Autistic, or ill in any way. It's a popular rumor, but just that; a rumor. Please remove any references to said illness from this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.237.109 ( talk) 09:41, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
No, I swear he said he has Aspergers.
WHo cares if he does? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.210.118 ( talk) 20:35, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
It has been confirmed Tajiri has Aspergers, it is in a book called Satoshi Tajiri:Pokemon creator you can check on Bulbapeida if you wish

Just curious but, can Tajiri speak fluent english? -- 76.103.162.49 ( talk) 17:03, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
The source referenced is designed to teach people who deal with special education children in a manner that doesn't compromise there integrity.(self esteem, assertiveness, intelligence) The book itself makes no reference to how it came to learn Satoshi Tajiri has Aspergers Syndrome. I hope someone can find a a suitable reference and re-add the reference.( The Pokemon Creators book from the Innovators series has no confirmation on Satoshi's involvement.)

More on that hoax, I removed it, don't believe everything you read. Angel Emfrbl ( talk) 10:58, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Surely something could be written about the death hoax, it spread around the internet like wildfire, and is something of importance. Personally I don't quite understand why "Death Hoax" was removed. Inesishere ( talk) 21:43, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Coatsyuk ( talk · contribs) has put into the article that they received an email from GameFreak press officer Yuri Sakurai which states that Tajiri does not have Aspergers. They are using their own personal site as a reference, which I think would qualify as conflict of interest. I have told them that their own personal site is not a reliable source, and even if they took a screenshot of the said email, it still probably wouldn't be considered a good source. Thoughts? Blake ( Talk· Edits) 17:44, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
The man shown in the picture is not Satoshi!! He is Tsunekaz Ishihara!!!! XD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.90.29.213 ( talk) 15:38, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
I removed the mentions of Asperger's in Tajiri's article. Though at least one of the articles cited was from a credible source, there were problems.
If anybody can provide a truly credible source that confirms this diagnosis beyond doubt, please include it here. Otherwise, referring to Tajiri as an Asperger's sufferer is misleading at best, slanderous at worst. 108.93.178.27 ( talk) 23:17, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Tajiri claims that Western audiences understand his work better; instead of focusing exclusively on prominent characters like Pikachu, he believes they understand that the games are about partnership and identification with one's team. [1]
How did this information influence development? I see it for simple lip service. 221.185.252.208 ( talk) 03:25, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
Can someone tell me where the information about Tajiri having Asperger's syndrome came from? If not, then there's no reason to treat it as anything more than hearsay. I'm not ruling out the possibility - I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case - but someone on the Internet associating Tajiri's behavior with Asperger's does not a professional diagnosis make. -- The Trashman 15:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, because the main point of Wikipedia is to boost people's self esteem... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.205.74.147 ( talk • contribs)
Yeah basically if you take a browse on the pages to the people he's talked to you'll find stuff he wrote to other people, but you'll have to look through pages and pages of comments just to find his .. I'll be back looking for more websites with evidence about him, if I find any I'll be sure to post on this. 9th August 2009 22:26/10:26 PM —Preceding unsigned comment added by バンギラス ( talk • contribs) 14:28, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
Current link is dead, does not seem like an especially reliable source. Something like an interview would be much better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.240.82.47 ( talk) 05:35, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
I wasn't aware that the image I placed in the article was not, in fact, of Tajiri, but was instead of Tsunekazu Ishihara. A search on Google Images brings up photos of Ishihara when searching "satoshi tajiri", and the Wikimedia Commons image file in question is misleadingly titled "File:Satoshi-tajiri.jpg". I apologise for the mistake. I've made a request on Commons that the file's name be changed to avoid any further incidents like this. Hopefully a non-copyrighted image of Tajiri can be used on this article sometime in the future. – Matthew - ( talk) 01:15, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
You have a video posted on Pokémon, Game Freak, Pokémon Red and Blue and now this page all confirm it. I include the video.

This article is horrendously written. Here I came to read up on the guy, and it turns out the article contradicts itself. Let me quote some sections.
In the About section : "In the year 1991, when the Game Boy appeared, Tajiri imagined a game, based on the insects he used to collect as a child. The idea of catching and collecting monsters was new. He was inspired when he saw two kids playing the Game Boy next to each other. He came to Shigeru Miyamoto and together they developed the link cable technology"
Here's a bit from the Game Freak section : "In 1991, Satoshi discovered the Game Boy. When he first saw Link Cables, he imagined insects creeping along them, and the Pokémon idea was born."
That's just ONE inconsistency. The creation of Game Freak, his unquoted video game magazines, or his relationship to Nintendo is not only inconsistent, but they're all without references...
In other words, someone painted up a nice, pretty story, and this article seems like nothing more than happy rumors. Especially the Asperger's Syndrome thing. Linking to underestablished video gaming websites doesn't necessarily make a rumor true. If I could see an interview with the man, I and a whole lot of other people would be more willing to believe it. More than that, why does this appear under his work at Nintendo..... isn't that more of a "Personal" thing?
Beyond that, where in the hell are ANY sources for anything else mentioned?! Please clean this article up. I've seen better written (more consistent) articles on EncyclopediaDramatica. I mean, if you're going to make claims on something, be able to back up those claims with better sources than UnknownGameWebsite.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.48.40.133 ( talk) 23:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Notthegoatseguy. Tajiri has not the Aspergers, and I will remove this article too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yuri Sakurai ( talk • contribs) 02:00, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
I found and added a book source that says Tajiri confirmed he was autistic, but didn't want to discuss it further, so I removed the "don't say he's autistic" warning and confirmed it. Hope that's okay. Keep in mind, it said "autistic" and not "Aspergers." Mrmoustache14 ( talk) 17:40, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
