What this is
How often a Pokémon anime title appeared in Netflix's weekly Top 10 lists: 169 country-weeks in the second half of 2021, 46 in 2022, 30 in 2023 and 21 in 2024, then none from the week ending 17 March 2024 to 18 October 2026, 135 weeks. No Pokémon title has ever been in the US list.
How it’s built
- Counted from Netflix's own downloadable Top 10 files: the global weekly lists and every country's weekly list since they began in July 2021.
- Every title beginning "Pokémon" was matched; unrelated titles that only share letters were left out.
- A country-week is one country's list in one week; a title in ten countries' lists in a week counts ten.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
A Top 10 measures new-release spikes, not total viewing. Pokémon's catalogue hours on Netflix held up over the same period, so this shows that new releases stopped charting, not that viewing stopped.
