Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on August 28, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Satoshi Tajiri! You're the legendary trainer who evolved simple dreams into a worldwide Poké-phenomenon. You've certainly given players plenty of reasons to wander outside—or at least endlessly circle neighborhoods on their smartphones—chasing Pikachu and friends for decades.

From Game Boy cartridges to blockbuster movies, your creations have leveled up beyond imagination. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are capturing hearts everywhere; whether discovering exciting regions or evading persistent Zubats in caves, you've transformed childhood distractions into lifelong adventures—because let's be honest: no one ever really outgrows Pokémon.

Cheers to another year of catching successes—and never growing too old for Pokéballs!
