This 90-minute special features a rare interview with Pokemon creator and Game Freak chief Satoshi Tajiri. Arino sits down with Tajiri in the Game Freak offices and starts by discussing Tajiri’s entrance into the game industry. It all began with his obsession with the arcade and the subsequent creation of his gaming fanzine, also called Game Freak. The zine featured lots of tips and tricks for the arcade games of the time, mostly culled from Tajiri’s own knowledge. He sold the zine for 200 yen; enough to properly fuel his gaming habit if he broke even. A particular love of Xevious led to a separate handmade "how to score a million points" strategy guide for the game, which sold in droves.
