9.2 billions Year to March 2022

ReportedA fan-site report. Prefer the 9.1bn from company totals.

Found in one pass only. The research team reads every source twice, independently; this record turned up in one reading but not the other, so treat it as less certain than its grade.

How it’s built

Reported by PokeCharms, a Pokémon fan site, citing The Pokémon Company.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

Subtracting the company's own totals (43.2bn minus 34.1bn) gives 9.1bn. The 9.2bn could be rounding, but both reports of it trace to the same web page.
