Junichi Masuda is not only one of the Pokémon OGs, one of the three co-founders of Game Freak along with Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori, but as the years have gone by has become the most central figure behind the games and franchise. He is currently chief creative fellow at The Pokémon Company and, yesterday, casually dropped a fact about the series that has exposed a long-dormant Easter Egg.
A July 5 tweet from Masuda contained an image of the building initially used by Game Freak, founded in 1989, and said (via machine translation): "On the 5th of July, Pokémon was born in Japan, and this is where Game Freak once lived."
