'''Game Freak''' ({{ja|ゲームフリーク|Gēmu Furīku}}, ''Game Freak'') is a Japanese multimedia company. First starting in the 1980's as the name of a self published video game magazine, founding member Satoshi Tajiri also used Game Freak as a pen name while working as a freelance journalist at the time. The modern Game Freak would officially be founded on April 26th, 1989, with their first game, ''{{iw|wikipedia|Mendel Palace}}'', releasing June 27th of that year. While having modest success through the early 1990's, their big break would be their collaboration with [[Nintendo]] on the creation of the {{uv|Pokémon}} video game and anime series. Pokémon would go on the most profitable media franchise of all time. Game Freak and Nintendo, along with [[Creatures]], would work together to create {{s|bulbapedia|The Pokémon Company}} to streamline the licensing proccess for third parties. Game Freak has also worked on other titles, such as ''{{b|Yoshi|game}}'' for the NES, ''Mario & Wario'' for the Super Famicom, {{uv|Drill Dozer}} for the GBA, {{uvm|HarmoKnight}} for the Nintendo 3DS, and ''Little Town Hero'' for the Nintendo Switch amongst several other titles. While Game Freak does have a close relationship with Nintendo, they are technically a third party company and have worked for other companies before, such as [[Sega]] with ''{{s|wikipedia|Pulseman}}'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Tembo the Badass Elephant}}'', Sony with ''{{s|wikipedia|Smart Ball}}'' and ''Click Medic'', even self publishing a few titles such as ''Pocket Card Jockey'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Little Town Hero}}''.
