Chee-Chai Alien and Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR! In Chee-Chai Alien, we created a game to discover aliens using light. You can capture tiny aliens by holding the Game Boy Color's IR sensor over a lamp or remote control. It had a great story of playing to rescue them from a dark universe. "Existence is light. There are creatures in the light. This discovery is one of the themes." (Hirokazu Tanaka) (February 27, 2001). In Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!, we included twice as many cards as the previous game so that players could enjoy more advanced deck building and battles. (March 28, 2001)

PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure is an action game where you play with Pikachu. We created a vast area with Pokémon and more than 10 types of competition-style attractions. The game was created for young children, with a target age of kids just above kindergarten. "We deliberately minimized some gameplay and replayability elements, and prioritized core feelings and emotions." (Masamichi Anazawa) (December 5, 2009) Pokémon Rumble Pokémon Rumble is an action game where you can enjoy the thrill of knocking out enemy Pokémon with simple controls. It was released as WiiWare to purchase and download. (June 16, 2009)

aDanza aDanza is a music player application in which strange characters such as alpacas, pandas, and wrestlers dance around. The inspiration for its development was a 3DCG Pokémon dance that we created as an experiment. We had a good feeling that it would be interesting, so we completed it using original characters. It became a hit among high school students, with 1.35 million downloads. "Young people have a high capacity for discovery. They noticed small changes in the dance motions and had a lot of fun with them." (Hirokazu Tanaka) (July 18, 2014)
