We learned awhile back that Game Freak was preparing to move into a new office, and now that move has wrapped up. Game Freak has gotten their own space inside Nintendo's HQ in Kanda Square. You can get an in-depth look at the new Game Freak offices in this gallery. Turns out the design inspiration behind the offices came from Pokemon games!

"The motif for the office design is “Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Green Version”, and the office itself is configured to be a game world. The lobby area, which is the starting point for the adventure, portrays Viridian Forest by expressing the cries of Pokémon, sunlight, and living trees and creatures. All the meeting rooms are named after towns featured in the game. The color that the town name is based on is used in the room’s motif. For example, the origin of Pallet Town in the game is white. From this element of white, we imagined a blank canvas and planned the design concept using corresponding textures and color schemes."
