Takeshi Shudō donates scenarios to library

[Zhen Lin]

According to Takeshi Shudō's own column, it appears that all the Pokemon scenarios he was in charge of have been donated to the Kodawara Public Library. Furthermore, his related non-Pokemon scenarios, materials, videos, LDs and such were all archived as well.

Shudō's column

首藤剛志 Takeshi Shudō was a scenariowriter for Pokémon anime - he wrote 18 episodes in all.

I wonder what the writer meant by donate.

Usually when someone donates his or her work to a library or similar institution, he or she essentially gives it the work's copyright. Usually people with such collections who donate them desire to allow the public to see the work instead of keeping it locked away in their homes, so they give it to a public institution.

In the case of Shudo, I'm guessing that now people can go to that library and view and perhaps check out those scenarios for their own pleasure and/or research.

and such were all archived as well.

Judging by that line - I'd say that it was the work he had legally available to pass on to public domain was 'donated' - rather than the proceeds of his being paid for such work being passed on.

The former is decent enough but placed against the latter makes him seem a bit cheap.

Anyone got a library card at Kodawara Public Library?

Oh, he wrote Dues and Don'ts... that's one of my top 10. ^_^

Ah,so this is the butthole that wrote "The Poke-Spokes Person".But I would've never believed that the same person who wrote that piece of crap also wrote Meowth's origin.Looks like he really went downhill during Johto.I did enjoy "Enlighten Up",but most of his Johto eps are pretty mediocre.And "Poke Spokes Person" and "Xatu the Future" are two of the worst Pokemon episodes ever.


I suggest someone get their hands on the Poke-Spokes Person script and incinerate it. =)

Besides writing the first two great episodes of Pokemon, he did write quite a few crappy fillers. No big loss, seems he hasn't written for the show since AG began. Good news too, since some of those fillers he wroter were just awful.

Ironically, the presence of Meowth makes the whole Poke-Spokes Person episode confusing. Team Rocket wants the ability to talk to Pokemon?! What the hell? How about an episode where Ash dreams of getting a Pikachu? Or May goes shopping for her first bra? Those would make just as much sense!

If he wrote "Dues and Don'ts", which is one of the most brilliant Pokemon episodes ever, he can't be *that* bad.

Well this guy seems to have been hit or miss. Quite a few of the episodes he's written were very good, but there are a lot of crappy (Johto) filler on that list too, so he's half and half.

Good thing AG has better writers, so that guys like him don't taint the new series with garbage.
