Come up Quote by Satoshi Tajiri
“I sleep 12 hours and then work 24 hours. I've worked those irregular hours for the past three years. It's better to stay up day and night to come up with ideas. I usually get inspiration for game designing by working this schedule.”

![“I'm part of the first generation who grew up with manga [comics] and anime [animation], you know, after 'Godzilla.' I was absorbed with Ultraman on TV and in manga. The profession of game designer was created really recently. If it didn't exist, I'd probably be making anime.” quote by Satoshi Tajiri](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4cc/satoshi-tajiri-30307_animation_i-m-part-of-the-first-generation-who-gre_1465359.jpg)
