The creative design director of Pokemon Company International, Eric Medalle, tragically passed away on March 13, during a windstorm in Seattle. According to The Seattle Times, during the storm, a massive evergreen tree snapped and fell onto his BMW while he was in the driver's seat. Medalle has worked at Pokemon since 2003. A YouCaring page has been created by family and friends, to raise money for a college fund for his 2 children.
