　　“Game Freak Co., Ltd. actively employs it in all 23 positions”, the rough translation from Japanese reads. “Planners, graphic designers, game programmer, information systems, human resources in, from the leader class intended for junior class and second new graduates have been recruited to!”

　　“With a cumulative total of approximately 241 million shipped (as of the end of September 2019), Game Freak, who is involved in the planning and development of the "Pokémon" series, has a mission to pursue even more fun . To realize this, we need a wide range of core members who can take the initiative.”
