I feel deeply sorry about the huge earthquake at Tohoku(Japan) area.
I pray for the souls of the departed.
I express strong sympathy for the victims and families
of this disaster.
I hope Tohoku will reconstructed itself soon.
With this earthquake, the VIDEO GAME is powerless.
But we would like to contribute even a bit for the
resurgence.
Fortunately, all of the Game Freak staffs are safe.
But it will take a while for us to develop the game
with fun atmosphere.
Considering about the devastated areas recovery
and economy of Japan, we believe there will be
the meaning of our effort.
On April 21st, Korean version of Pokémon
Black and White are launched.
I visited Korea on the launch day and attended the event.
Im so surprised with the warm welcome of the fans.
It was very cold day, but thank you very much for coming!
*The event in Korea will be disclosed with pictures
on the next column.
And this day, PGL(Pokémon Global Link) is connected
with the whole world.
