nihongo|Game Freak, Incorporated|株式会社ゲームフリーク|Kabushiki-gaisha Gēmu Furīku is the Japanese video game developer behind the Pokémon series of RPGs, as well as several other games. It is a second-party developer for Nintendo.

The company was founded on April 26, 1989 by Satoshi Tajiri. In honor of the founder, the lead character in the Japanese version of the Pokémon TV series was named Satoshi (Ash Ketchum in the English dub).
