What this is
Who publishes, licenses or authors Pokémon books and music: in Japan, Shogakukan publishes, and The Pokémon Company is the named author of the 2025 ecology encyclopedia; in North America and the UK, its US arm, The Pokémon Company International, licenses Scholastic and Hachette.
How it’s built
- Assembled from the credit or licensor each book, chart listing or label release names.
What we assumed
- The author credit on the book and chart is The Pokémon Company itself.Both the book and Oricon's chart name The Pokémon Company as author, which is unusual for a licensed title.
Sanity check
Oricon's annual chart lists the same author credit as the book.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
