Lost Pokemon History of the Day: Deleted Tweets

In December I searched through Pokemon art director James Turner's entire Twitter history to extract development info. But as soon as I started sharing this info... James deleted ALL those tweets.

(More info in thread below) (1/4)

(2/4) James' tweets, made between 2017 and 2019, revealed information about Pokemon design inspirations, development details, and more insider info. Clearly, Game Freak didn't want this info made public -- so they deleted it all off Twitter the day after I shared the first quote.

(3/4) All this development info was wiped off the internet, but I still have every deleted tweet saved on my hard drive. As a courtesy, I asked James if he'd prefer I keep them private. However, he didn't respond -- so I don't think it's unethical for me to continue quoting them.

(4/4) I've long covered Lost Pokemon History... but this is the only time Pokemon History got lost because of me

Japanese developers occasionally tweet important info as well. So if you speak JP, I ask you to please record these tweets... just in case they also get deleted.
