Game Freak employees appear in every core series game besides [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the sound designer gives the [[GB Sounds]] after the player has obtained all eight Kanto Gym Badges. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, he gives the [[DS Sounds]] after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]]. Although Game Freak does not appear physically in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, it supplies and signs the virtual diplomas for completing the Pokédex and is referred to as "the company that certifies Pokédex completion", making Pokémon Legends: Arceus the only core series game in which an in-universe Game Freak has no presence at all.

Both Morimoto and Nishino have the Trainer class {{tc|GAME FREAK}}. In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player can battle Shigeki Morimoto in the Game Freak office after becoming [[Champion]], who will give the player an [[Oval Charm]] the first time he is defeated. He can be battled once a day. In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the player can battle Morimoto again but this time [[Kazumasa Iwao]] will also be present and it is a [[Double Battle]] against the two.
