What this is
The timing of sets that reuse old Pokémon or anniversary art: in Japan, the 20th anniversary pack in 2016, the 25th anniversary collection in 2021, 151 in 2023 and the 30th Celebration in 2026, spaced 1.65 to 5.1 years apart.
How it’s built
- Listed the release dates of each reuse and anniversary set in Japan and in English, and measured the gaps between them.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Example: 151 came out on 16 June 2023 and the 25th anniversary collection on 22 October 2021, 1.65 years earlier. The recent sets all drew made-to-order sales, lotteries or extra production; none has a sales figure.
The value
- Console remakes original to remake years: 8-22
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.

- 2021-10-22 minus 2016-09-16 = 1862 d = 5.10 y
- 2023-06-16 minus 2021-10-22 = 602 d = 1.65 y
- 2026-09-16 minus 2023-06-16 = 1188 d = 3.25 y
- 2023-06-16 minus 1996-02-27 = 9971 d = 27.30 y
