- そもそもポケモンが始まる時に一年半の予定と聞いて「長げー！！」と正直驚いた事を思い出しました。結果的に一年半やる作品は珍しくないかも知れませんが、最初からその予定というのにビックリしたわけです……
- I remember that originally, when Pokémon started, I was truly surprised to hear that it was planned for a one and a half year run. Series that end up running for a year and a half may not be uncommon, but to have such a plan from the very beginning - that was what amazed me...
