Record

An independent recount of Shogakukan's Pokémon comics in the national library catalogue, which reproduces every count and finds that no comic record names a company as supervisor or rights holder

1996-2026

FiledA recount of a national library catalogue. Filed.

How it’s built

  1. The archived catalogue rows were re-sorted by the same rules, series by series, and each count compared with the original.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

Every cell matched, including the five anime-based comics without a supervision credit.

The values

  • Rows: 664
  • Distinct links: 664
  • Comic records: 292
  • Sum: 93+38+4+113+44 = 292

Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
