[[Game Freak]] employees appear in each of the main series games, with their headquarters on the third floor of the [[Celadon Condominiums]]. In the games in which [[Kanto]] is not visitable, they appear on vacation, with a group in [[Lilycove City]], staying in the [[Cove Lily Motel]], and a single member staying at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] in [[Valor Lakefront]]. The main reason to visit them is to obtain a [[diploma]], awarded after the completion of the [[Pokédex]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the sound designer gives the [[GB Sounds]] after the player has obtained all 8 Kanto Badges.
[[Game Freak]] employees appear in each of the main series games, with their headquarters on the third floor of the [[Celadon Condominiums]]. In the games in which [[Kanto]] is not visitable, they sometimes appear on vacation, with a group in [[Lilycove City]], staying in the [[Cove Lily Motel]], and a single member staying at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] in [[Valor Lakefront]]. The main reason to visit them is to obtain a [[diploma]], awarded after the completion of the [[Pokédex]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the sound designer gives the [[GB Sounds]] after the player has obtained all 8 Kanto Badges.


Game Freak has its own building in [[Castelia City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where a character representing [[Shigeki Morimoto]] can be battled after stopping [[Team Plasma]]. Game Freak is found on 22F, just like in their real-world office in {{wp|Carrot Tower}}. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, aside from Morimoto, another employee which is based on [[Kōji Nishino]] can also be fought. Nishino uses a {{p|Snorlax}} as his highest leveled Pokémon, a reference to his nickname カビゴン ''Kabigon'', after which Snorlax is named. In the English versions, he calls himself Snorlax.

===Pokémon Black and White===
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, Game Freak has an office located in [[Heahea City]]. Morimoto returns as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} the player can battle once per day, though the player must have become the {{pkmn|Champion}} to do so. After being defeated for the first time, he will give the player the [[Oval Charm]]. In {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, Morimoto plays the same role, except he teams with the game's director, [[Kazumasa Iwao]], for a [[Double Battle]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Morimoto makes a similar cameo, but as a {{tc|Coach Trainer}} instead.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
In [[Generation VII]], Morimoto exclusively uses {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|Pokémon that debuted in Generation I}}, a reference to the fact that Pokémon Sun and Moon were released in celebration of the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary|20th anniversary]] of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and keeps his Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s. Iwao uses {{type|Normal}} Pokémon, and is the only character of this class to use a unique model. He keeps his Pokémon in [[Repeat Ball]]s.

GAME FREAK (Japanese: ゲームフリーク Game Freak) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation V games.

In the games

Game Freak employees appear in each of the main series games, with their headquarters on the third floor of the Celadon Condominiums. In the games in which Kanto is not visitable, they sometimes appear on vacation, with a group in Lilycove City, staying in the Cove Lily Motel, and a single member staying at the Hotel Grand Lake in Valor Lakefront. The main reason to visit them is to obtain a diploma, awarded after the completion of the Pokédex. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the sound designer gives the GB Sounds after the player has obtained all 8 Kanto Badges.

Game Freak has its own building in Castelia City in Pokémon Black and White, where a character representing Shigeki Morimoto can be battled after stopping Team Plasma. Game Freak is found on 22F, just like in their real-world office in Carrot Tower. In Black 2 and White 2, aside from Morimoto, another employee which is based on Kōji Nishino can also be fought. Nishino uses a Snorlax as his highest leveled Pokémon, a reference to his nickname カビゴン Kabigon, after which Snorlax is named. In the English versions, he calls himself Snorlax. In Generation V, Morimoto exclusively uses Pokémon that debuted in Generation V.

In Sun and Moon, Game Freak has an office located in Heahea City. Morimoto returns as a Trainer the player can battle once per day, though the player must have become the Champion to do so. After being defeated for the first time, he will give the player the Oval Charm. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Morimoto plays the same role, except he teams with the game's director, Kazumasa Iwao, for a Double Battle. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Morimoto makes a similar cameo, but as a Coach Trainer instead.

In Generation VII, Morimoto exclusively uses Pokémon that debuted in Generation I, a reference to the fact that Pokémon Sun and Moon were released in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Pokémon Red and Green, and keeps his Pokémon in Ultra Balls. Iwao uses Normal-type Pokémon, and is the only character of this class to use a unique model. He keeps his Pokémon in Repeat Balls.
