Nintendo's half-year report to September 2026 repeats that Pokémon titles are published and sold by The Pokémon Company in Japan and by Nintendo overseas

How it’s built

1. Read in a footnote to Nintendo's half-year earnings release for the year to March 2027, attached to a new Pokémon game for Switch 2.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

So overseas Pokémon game sales count in Nintendo's own revenue, while The Pokémon Company books only Japanese game sales.

Where it comes from

The line in the source

※国内では株式会社ポケモンが、海外では当社が発売・販売するタイトルです。(Footnote: in Japan published/sold by The Pokémon Company, overseas by Nintendo.) Attached to ぽこ あ ポケモン in the Switch 2 software sentence.
