Life

Satoshi Tajiri spent his childhood in Machida, a suburb of Tokyo, where he prefers insects collected. Satoshi chased them everywhere, including on the banks of the pond, in the fields or in the forest. He thought there are always new techniques to attract beetles. The boy was so fascinated by the insects that his friends called him Konchu - hakase (昆虫 博士, dt " Dr. insect" ).

Satoshi did not like school. His father wanted him trained as an electrician, but Satoshi was against it. Later, in the 1970s, the fields and ponds were built. At this time germinated the first ideas that affected the Pokémon. Satoshi wanted to give the new generation of children the opportunity to hunt creatures as he himself had done as a child. He applied to a technology school.

When he saw the Link Cables for the first time, he placed himself immediately before insects that crawl along the cable. The Pokémon were now born. At the beginning of the game based on some of the ideas about creatures of another studio that invented creatures. Satoshi named his company Game Freak, as a fanzine, who wrote Tajiri in his childhood.
