About how hard is it to become a programmer at Game Freak?

I've moved this to Video Games for now, if you don't mind.
Probably fairly hard, if you're an American. You'd probably have to speak fluent Japanese. Then you'd have to have some experience in the field, or some exceptional talent. But if you have those two things, you might have a chance at making it in. If you really want to know, you could check Game Freak's site (that is, if you speak Japanese).

Replace game freak with any Japanese game developer. You'll get the idea.
Basic prerequisites of general game development (like C++ expertise, graphics design, software engineering, algorithms, mathematics etc) apply. to put things into perspective, the amount of prerequisites is usually the stuff you'll need to get a degree in game development, and yes game developers, like most other software developers are degree holders at the very least which implies at least 3-4 years of education not including industry experience. Then there's Game Freak being Japanese so there's that whole "Japanese literacy" factor.
