On February 27th.
The video game "Pocket Monsters RED/GREEN"
for Game Boy was launched in Japan.
The day, PIKACHU, VENUSAUR, CHARIZARD, MEOWTH, MEWTWO and
many other Pokemon gave a birth.

Yes.
Today is a very special day, not only for GameFreak,
but to the development staffs including myself.

The initial members of Pokemon RED/GREEN are
still working hard in GameFreak.
And, today is a good day to look back where we came from.

Aiming for high quality creation.
Today, higher than yesterday.
Tomorrow, even higher than today.
We will keep trying our best with passion above.
This passion didn't change a bit from those days.

And we will keep this thought as the most important thing.

We reached Pokemon 12th anniversary
and we would like to express our gratitude to
the people all over the world.
We deeply appreciate your support.
Thank you very very much!

And... Pokemon still continues to get evolved!

Ciao!
