In April issue of “Nintendo Dream (released on this Feb. 21st)” magazine,
there’s an article of our interview.

In the article of “Battle Dojo Returns,” we Game Freak
and the staff of Nintendo Dream had a Pokemon battle!!
How’s the conclusion!?

Also, there’s an article of our graphic designer talking about
Pokemon and characters!!

And about bridges. I’ve talked about bridges deeply.
Why the bridge designed in certain shape?
Is there any certain model? Etc… etc…
It might be little strange for game magazine!

Tons of contents!
Please purchase!!
