He was the main writer for Pokemon Anime in Kanto, Orange Islands, and Johto arcs. He also wrote the first three Pokemon films. He has also been acclaimed for creating the “unusual intelligence” of the two characters created by him, namely Minky Momo and Goshogun.

The company was so impressed with his creativity and efforts that he got the position of the chief writer almost immediately.

Replying to #5

He only wrote the storylines for the first 3 seasons of pokemon which, arguably, are the better ones in the series. A shame really, I am a huge fan of the pokemon series yet I also agree that gamefreak and the anime needs to stop now. Or at least, get a better writer and game designer.
