To say it looks good would be an understatement; there are more rooms than we can count, each looking as immaculate as the last, and every single space \u2013 be it a room or corridor \u2013 has been inspired by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gameboy\/pokemon_red_and_blue\">Pok\u00e9mon Red and Blue<\/a>, the games that kickstarted the company&#8217;s journey.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The motif for the office design is \u201cPok\u00e9mon Red Version and Pok\u00e9mon Green Version\u201d, and the office itself is configured to be a game world. The lobby area, which is the starting point for the adventure, portrays Viridian Forest by expressing the cries of Pok\u00e9mon, sunlight, and living trees and creatures. All the meeting rooms are named after towns featured in the game. The color that the town name is based on is used in the room\u2019s motif. For example, the origin of Pallet Town in the game is white. From this element of white, we imagined a blank canvas and planned the design concept using corresponding textures and color schemes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can read more about it over on Office Snapshots if you&#8217;re interested, but here&#8217;s a look inside.
