Sometimes this wiki may be a little slow, other times it is faster. This is likely server related. On such days, you may want to stockpile edits offline for later.

Creatures, Inc.
Creatures, Inc. is a video game company, spun-off from the company Ape (the company established by the famous Shigesato Itoi for his video game MOTHER (EarthBound Beginnings). Ape is effectively now defunct. The foundations of Creatures, Inc. are linked with the origins of the Pokémon franchise but not exclusively.
Its current president is Hirokazu Tanaka (former employee of Nintendo); also a famous video game composer with a speciality for chip-music, though it was formally founded by Tsunekazu Ishihara with the assistance of former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata; and its direction was influenced by Satoshi Tajiri circa 1990 for forming Pokémon from the original Capsule Monsters concept.
