What this is
How much Pokémon music The Pokémon Company gives away or streams: 375 game-music tracks released free in its Sound Library in 2023 and 2024, and 53 Pokémon Sleep tracks on Spotify.
How it’s built
- Adds the track counts in the company's announcements: 194 and 181 for the Sound Library, 34 and 19 for Pokémon Sleep.
What we assumed
- Announced track counts are what was released.The Sound Library counts were read only once, from announcements; no catalogue count was made.
Sanity check
Consistent with the absence of any Pokémon music sales figure: the company distributes far more music free or by subscription than it sells.
The value
- Anime theme compilation 1997-2023 (single-pass): 79
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
