The International arm’s change of name took effect on 1 April 2009, according to the UK registry

How it’s built

1. Two UK branch filings at Companies House, made in July and August 2009, both record a name change effective 1 April 2009.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

The registry’s text rendering says the name changed ‘to Pokémon USA, Inc.’, the old name, which contradicts the history; the filing image needs re-reading before quoting the new name.
