Game Freak’s headcount in June 2025

242 Jun 2025

ReportedThe company’s own figure, via a third-party site; not audited.

Found in one pass only. The research team reads every source twice, independently; this record turned up in one reading but not the other, so treat it as less certain than its grade.

What this is

Game Freak’s headcount in June 2025: 242 people, counting full-time and contract staff only.

How it’s built

  1. Read from Game Freak’s company information as reproduced on kikokugo.com, a Japanese company-information site.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

Part-time and outsourced staff are excluded, so the true workforce on Pokémon games is larger.
