What this is
Game Freak’s headcount in April 2015: 81 people.
How it’s built
- Taken from shukatsusoken.com, a Japanese job-hunting analysis site.
What we assumed
- The site’s figure is taken at face value.Game Freak does not publish historical headcounts; the site does not say where it got the number.
Sanity check
Game Freak had 242 staff by June 2025, so 81 in 2015 is plausible for a studio that roughly tripled, but it is a single unverified source.
