I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Pokémon Company International (Bellevue, WA) in Mar 2009
Interview
After being approuched by a headhunter I was granted an in-person interview with members of Pokemon's HR and management team. I was introduced to a few people, and really enjoyed talking with them. I thought that my skills, experiance, and personallity would be a great fit. The office was very nice and the people seemed to have a real passion from the product. I would have loved the opportunity to join the team. I was told that they had another canidate that they were bringing in and would get back to me by Friday of that week.
However, after my interview I had no direct contact from Pokemon, even after I mailed to say what a pleasure it was to meet everyone (which it really was). Two weeks later the headhunter was still trying to get an answer from them. She never did get feedback on why I was not the canidate selected for the job offer. I was dissapointed in the lack of follow through I felt after the interview. I know as an HR professional that I'd never leave a canidate hanging on for over two weeks after telling them I would be back in contact before the end of the week.
If you are working with a headhunter and they want you to interview at Pokemon don't count on getting any feedback after the interview, even if you e-mail and ask for it.

Interview
I was emailed asking for my availability for a 30 minute telephone interview. I responded with my availability and did not hear anything for a week. I sent a follow up email with my availability for the next week, which was acknowledged but a telephone interview was never arranged.
Not an encouraging first impression. I did not follow up to arrange an interview a third time due to the poor communication and organisation of the HRBP.
I would recommend that to give the best first impression that all requests for availability are followed up with an interview. It was disappointing as I was very excited about the role and prospects of working for Pokémon.
