No public statement was found that The Pokémon Company International pays its Tokyo parent a royalty or buys cards from it

How it’s built

1. Searched press and company sources, Washington State company records and UK branch records. None gives a royalty, card purchases or revenue.
2. The International arm has made its own cards since taking over from Wizards in 2003.

What we assumed

• The International arm sources its cards itself rather than from Tokyo.It took over card production in 2003, but how payments flow inside the group is not disclosed anywhere reached.

Sanity check

A negative result. Internal payments would cancel out in group revenue, but they matter for how much the Tokyo company's own accounts show.

Where it comes from
