The Pokemon Company has opened a new subsidiary in Japan.

The subsidiary is named and trademarked “Pokemon Works”, with the company being opened earlier this month and the trademark published earlier today. Although the exact purpose of the company is not known, the trademark info states it relates to videogame goods and services. Even more interestingly however, is that this company is reportedly based in the same building as ILCA, the developers who worked on Pokemon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl.
