Vol. 3, Issue 51 - Interview with Gail Tilden
An interview with Gail Tilden, former employee of Nintendo of America, who managed the launch of Pokémon outside of Asia
A warm welcome to Vol. 3, issue 51 of Johto Times! This week, we have a very special interview to share! Gail Tilden worked at Nintendo between 1983–2007 in several brand and marketing positions. She was the editor-in-chief of Nintendo Power Magazine, helped to bring the Nintendo Entertainment System to market in the United States, and she was fundamental to the launch of the Pokémon brand outside of Asia. Gail shares some interesting insight into what it was like bringing Pokémon to the rest of the world!

A recap of the noteworthy headlines will be available in our January newsletter! Any important news announcements will be made on our Bluesky account and on our Discord server.
