Lost Pokemon History of the Day: Deleted Tweets

In December I searched through Pokemon art director James Turner& #39;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& #39; tweets, made between 2017 and 2019, revealed information about Pokemon design inspirations, development details, and more insider info. Clearly, Game Freak didn& #39;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& #39;d prefer I keep them private. However, he didn& #39;t respond -- so I don& #39;t think it& #39;s unethical for me to continue quoting them.

(4/4) I& #39;ve long covered Lost Pokemon History... but this is the only time Pokemon History got lost because of me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😓" title="Face with cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Face with cold sweat">

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.
