Kehidupan awal
Tajiri was born on August 28, 1965, in Tokyo. Tajiri grew up in Machida, Tokyo, which at the time still maintains a rural atmosphere. As a child, Tajiri enjoys collecting insects as a hobby, which will inspire the work of the next video game. The other kids call him "Dr. Bug", and he wants to be an entomologist. As the urban areas of Japan spread and more land is paved, habitat for bug hunting is lost. Tajiri wants the game to allow children to have the feeling of capturing and collecting creatures as they have.
He became fascinated with the arcade game as a teenager, though his parents thought he was a hobbyist for this hobby. She enjoys playing Taito Space Invaders, which pulls her into another video game. His interest eventually evolved into an attempt to plan his own game. He took his Famicom to see how it works, and won a contest for a Sega-sponsored video game idea.
Due to his interest in video games, Tajiri often cut classes and barely graduated high school. It is confusing and makes her parents sad, who feels that she is wasting her own future. His father attempted to give him a job at the Tokyo Electric Power Company, but Tajiri refused to take that position. She took a makeup class and finally got her high school diploma. Tajiri did not attend college but attended a two-year degree program at Tokyo National College of Technology, where he majored in electronics and computer science.

Careers
Tajiri wrote and edited a fanzine called Game Freak 1981-1986, focusing on the arcade game scene. Game Freak is handwritten and clipped together. It is illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Satoshi created fanzine Game Freak to help gamers. It contains tips on winning games, as well as a list of Easter eggs in the game. The highest number of copies he sold was over 10,000 which was about a game called Zabius. Nevertheless, Ken Sugimori, who later illustrates the first 151 pokemon, sees the magazine in d shop? Jinshi, and become involved. As more contributors came to Game Freak, Tajiri began to realize that most of his games were less qualified, and he and Sugimori decided the solution was to create their own game. Tajiri studied the game programming package Family BASIC , to better understand the Famicom game design concept. He then purchased the hardware needed for game development. Tajiri and Sugimori evolved the magazine into game development company Game Game Freak in 1989. Soon after, both of them installed their first game, an arcade-style game called Quinty to Namco, which published a game the. Tajiri also writes as a freelance writer for Famicom Hissh magazine? Bon , later called Hippon , and reviews the arcade games for Family Computer Magazine and Famicom Ts? shin .
Tajiri first thought of the idea of ​​Pokémon in 1990. The idea came after he saw the Game Boy and the ability to communicate between the Game Boys, and Tajiri decided to Pokémon most sensible on the handheld console. When he thinks of a connecting cable that can interact with two Game Boys, he imagines the bugs crawling back and forth, remembering his childhood likes to collect bugs. Tajiri pioneered the connectivity idea between the handheld gaming console, suggesting that the Game Boys can use their link cable to have friends do more than just play against each other. The idea of ​​two communicating systems is for the players to be able to trade Pokemon with each other.
When he first threw the idea of ​​Pokémon to Nintendo, they could not understand the concept, but were quite impressed by the reputation of the Tajiri game design that they decided to explore. Shigeru Miyamoto started guiding Tajiri, guiding him during the making process. Pokémon  © mon Red and Blue takes six years to produce, and Game Freak is almost bankrupt in the process; Often, there is hardly enough money to pay employees. Five employees quit, and Tajiri does not take a salary, instead of living off his father's income. Investment from Creatures Inc. allows Game Freak to complete the game, and in return, Creatures receives a third of the franchise rights.
Between the approval and completion stages of the project, Tajiri assists in the design of two spin-off games for Nintendo: Yoshi and the only Japanese release Mario & amp; Wario . He also worked on 1994 Pulseman .
After the game is over, very few media are paying attention, believing Game Boy is a dead console; The lack of interest in merchandising convinces Tajiri that Nintendo will refuse his game. The Poké game is not expected to do well, but sales continue to rise until the series finds itself among the top Nintendo franchises. Rumors about a hidden Pokémon creature named Mew, which can only be obtained by exploiting programming errors, increases interest in the game. Tajiri put Mew in the game to promote trade and interaction between players, but Nintendo was unaware of the creature when it was released. The franchise helped Nintendo's sales fade. Tajiri deliberately soften the violence in his game. In this case, he designed the Pokémon mon creature to faint rather than die because of their defeat, because he believed it was unhealthy for the children to equate the concept of death with the loss of the game. After finishing and releasing Red and Blue in Japan, Tajiri then worked on 1997's Bushi Seiry? Den: Futari no Y? Sha . Tajiri continues to be involved in a more modern title of Pokémon . In his latest incarnation, he oversaw the process from start to finish and approves all texts. While developing the game, Tajiri works long hours, often working 24 hours at a time and resting 12 hours.
Inspiration
Tajiri cited Shigeru Miyamoto as the main influence, regarding him as a kind of mentor. For this reason, his style of development fits perfectly with Miyamoto. In the anime Poky, the main character named Satoshi, and his rival is Shigeru.
Tajiri drew a lot of inspiration from Japanese performances and old anime, including Godzilla and Ultraman. He has stated that if he does not design a video game, he will most likely be in the anime field.
