The covers of several issues of Game Freak
Game Freak was originally a self-published gaming magazine created by Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori in the 1980s. Tajiri wrote and edited the text and Sugimori illustrated. On April 26, 1989, Tajiri and Sugimori started a video game development company with the same name.[2][3][4][5] One of Game Freak's first games was Famicom action/puzzle game Quinty, which was released in North America as Mendel Palace. Its most popular series, Pokémon (ポケモン, Pokemon)—the romanized contraction of the Japanese brand Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター, Poketto Monsutā)[6]—is published by Nintendo in Japan, North America and Europe.
