Talk:Satoshi Tajiri
It might be more appropriate and/or respectful to refer to him by his family name rather than his given name. It is more professional, in any case. -Argy
Pronunciation
Err... does anybody know how to say his name. User:GlalieGuy
- Like any Japanese name or word. To make it easy, though, Saa-toh-shee Taa-jee-ree. --Pie ~♪♫ 20:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
His disease
Do we have proof? Plus, when was he diagnosed? AND, wasn't he talking about movie 12 in the endings of a couple DP episodes? He seemed fine, then...--X, PEACE TOTHE DRAGONS ANDTHE BEASTS 04:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- Asperger's doesn't mean that you're retarded or anything. It means that you're bad at interacting with people. TTEchidna 04:43, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- I know it doesn't mean that you're retarded if you have it, but, its just that he seemed normal in those times he was talking to the camera... plus, come on, we could use proof and when he was diagnosed to include as proof.--X, PEACE TOTHE DRAGONS ANDTHE BEASTS 04:48, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Aspergers
Shouldn't such a drastic claim, such as a disease, at least be sourced by someone reliable, like Tajiri himself or an MD who diagnoses him? I don't think this is fit for an article without a source, because otherwise it's just a rumor, so I've taken it out, and haven't found a reliable source that says anything about Tajiri and any disease or condition he may or may not have.

- [1], [2], [3] Sources for Aspergers and the quote from Nintendo, thanks to the Wikipedia article this one is based on. — THE TROM — 19:45, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- Neither of the two sources who claim he has Aspergers say where they got this information, and I highly doubt that some "Best of" lists were the place where this alleged fact originally came from. Again, I don't think such a drastic claim should be made unless backed up by a reliable source, such as Tajiri himself, or a close friend/family member, or someone in the medical profession.

- Well if this newspaper isn't good enough for you, and a million other sites dedicated to Asperger's syndrome don't cut the mustard, I'll ask my GP, you start penpalling Tajiri's mum. Maybe we'll hear back before Generation V. — THE TROM — 03:09, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
