What this is
The Pokémon Company's parent-company net profit for the year to February 2002: about ¥0.61bn.
How it’s built
- From a Japanese blog's table transcribing the company's financial notices in Japan's official gazette for the years to February 1999–2016.
- The blog marks this year as an estimate: it is the blogger's own back-calculation, not a transcribed figure.
What we assumed
- The blogger's estimate stands in for the year.The original notice for that year is not available; this is the only figure for it.
Sanity check
Small against later years' profits of tens of billions of yen, and consistent with the slump after the first card boom.
