Pokemon: Game Freak

“Satoshi Tajiri, born in Tokyo in 1965, had a childhood fascination with collecting insects and playing arcade games.

Tajiri, along with a few others, founded Game Freak, a company that would later become famous for developing the Pokémon games.

While Tajiri is the primary creator, other key figures were involved in the development of the original Pokémon games, including Ken Sugimori (character design) and Koji Nishino (data design).

Atsuko Nishida also contributed to the character design for Pokémon Red and Green. “

Mitsuhiro Arita is a Pokémon creator who has worked on illustrating cards for the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Tajiri has been identified as having autism, and some sources suggest that his unique perspective may have contributed to the success of Pokémon.
