Some tragic news today as we have learnt that Pokemon Company International creative design director Eric Medalle was killed during a windstorm on Sunday. Medalle was taking one of his daughters for a drive and his vehicle was hit by a falling tree. Thankfully his daughter survived, but sadly Medalle didn’t. Our thoughts go out to his daughters and family. Medalle had been credited with several games in the Pokemon series. Here’s the games that he worked on.

Awl…
=(
All those games he worked on, and not the one Pokémon game I actually played and loved (Diamond).
Ew, Pearl is better
Very sad news. G x
Terrible time for pokemon fans. Never heard of him but my condolences to his family and friends!
Not really. It’s a terrible time for his family. I didn’t even know he existed.
God Damn well Nintendo is still complete horse shit
.
What do you want child and I’m playing x again I will 100 percent everything I’m grinding the current characters I have to level 60 then I will continue go do the side missions then when I get bored of those do the main mission and rinse and repeat then eventually beat the game but continue to do the side missions and all the rest of the stuff
Marco. Sir dad
Did you max out everyone on x or no
heh…
What kid
Seriously? Someone just DIED, and yet you still can’t manage to form a sentence without the words “Nintendoo is utter shit”.
these character trolls don’t mess around man
Nintendoo is new I haven’t seen that before and I already said my condolences little child
My point is, you don’t walk into a mourning for someone and then aggressively insult their occupation. It’s not okay.
Well to bad kid an c that’s what is not oKay for you bug not for me and Nintendo is still garbage
No, see, I’m not saying your opinion is wrong, I’m saying that spouting these things here is completely uncalled for and inappropriate.
you realize that you are trying to rationalize with what is basically a fictional cartoon character right?
Well, it is a fun pastime. Plus, it gives you more experience for rationalizing with real people.
Though, cartoon or not, it’s still not cool to act like that at a time like this.
i agree, but some of these trolls take their “craft” more serious than method actors lol
In other words he saying the same thing I’m trying to tell sassori Jr. there. Don’t disrepect the people who made his games possible. Some people will never learn and he might be one of them if he can’t respect the elders. In other words, he may own the system as he said he owned before, but he also blindly hating for no reason.
To you maybe but not to me so move on kid you have nothing else to say
-.-
What do you want kid
A troll calling others kids? Troll harder next time dude. :P
Nobody is trolling I dont know you kid and could care less
oh no, your trolling, but not doing too good…heh heh heh…
On no I’m not I’m a disgruntled fan who has been disgusted for a while with Nintendo and their shittiness
Rest in peace.
Oh no.. RIP Mr. Medalle. Thank you for your hard work on some of my favorite games.
RIP Eric Medalle
Oh. I thought this was about the guy in charge of Pokemon designs altogether but it’s just a guy working on the western releases. All the same, sucks this guy died and while driving his daughter around, no less. Poor girl. I hope this doesn’t scar her into thinking this was somehow her fault. :/
Never heard of him, but that sucks.

that is a very sad news indeed and my condolences to his family.
Wow..that’s horrible =(…but thankfully his daughter survived. Oddly, my car was also hit by a large tree last Sunday during a strong windstorm near Snohomish in Washington State…thankfully it didn’t hit my side of the car, but it’s totalled.
Thank goodness you’re fine.
I wish his family well…
This is never good news to hear. Condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
No way thats unbelievable. This is really tragic news.. Best wishes to the team
