*hoax* Creator of the Pokemon franchise, Satoshi Tajiri, rumored to be dead

I hope it really is just a rumor. I will be very sad if the creator of Pokemon really died. What will happen to us now? I hope he is really not dead. If he is though...RIP Satoshi Tajiri. TT^TT

It's a hoax. You're gullible.

Zet March 12th, 2011 6:42 AM

Nintendo has already confirmed that he is alive. I'm not sure who started the rumor, but they were a good troll.

Yeah, I think we would have seen it if he was dead. I can't believe people would start that rumor. I am glad that he is alive.

Yes, I am very gullible. I know that, ok. xD
And I'm very glad that it wasn't true. *clears throat*

And it all started on Twitter, as far as I know.

Honestly, I think everyone famous is going to end up being rumored to be dead right now... no one knows what's going on, so these kinds of rumors are going to be everywhere for awhile.

It happens all the time. Eminem was rumored to be dead over Christmas, other people have been rumored to have been dead whenever. If someone important really dies, it's going to be helluva bigger news than making a couple news boards and forums.

Nintendo on Twitter said it was wrong, though
Still, hopefully there won't be anymore ppl die in Japan :(
