What this is
Game Freak’s net profit as a share of the Tokyo parent’s in the last pre-boom year: 80.3% (Game Freak’s year to March 2015 against the parent’s year to February 2015).
How it’s built
- Game Freak’s ¥1,637m divided by the parent’s ¥2,039m.
What we assumed
- Game Freak’s year to March is compared with the parent’s year to February.The years overlap by eleven months.
Sanity check
The Pokémon Company figure is the Tokyo parent alone, without the International arm, so a group comparison would be less close.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.

- 1,637/2,039 = 80.3%: the game developer earned four-fifths of the rights-holder parent's profit in the last pre-boom year
