What this is
The most Pokémon's yearly average household rating in the Tokyo area could have been, by year from 2015 to 2026, given that unlisted weeks fall below the week's top-ten cut-off: about 4.0% in 2015, 1.6% in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026.
How it’s built
- For each week, we took Pokémon's household rating when it was listed and, when it was not, the lowest rating that made the list that week.
- From 2022, when the list ranked by individual rating, the cut-off was converted to household terms using the ratio between Pokémon's own household and individual ratings in the weeks it was listed.
- The weekly values were averaged over each year.
What we assumed
- An unlisted week's rating is no higher than that week's cut-off.That is what not being in the top ten means, so the result is a ceiling, not an estimate of the true average.
- Pokémon's own household-to-individual ratio holds for weeks it was not listed.It is the only ratio available for the show, and it stayed between about 1.2 and 1.4 across 2022 to 2026.
Sanity check
There is no floor: an unlisted week could have rated far below the cut-off, so the true averages could be well under these ceilings.
The value
- Lower bound: none (absent weeks could be far below the cut-off)
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes:
- FiledVideo Research's weekly top-ten anime tables for the Tokyo area, January 2015 to late October 2026, with every regular Pokémon episode row and a yearly summary of weeks listed and ratings
- ReportedHow often the regular Pokémon TV episode made Video Research's weekly top ten anime in the Tokyo area, year by year from 2015 to late October 2026, and its average household rating in the weeks it was listed
- ReportedPokémon household rating relative to Doraemon and Sazae-san (VR Kanto, listed weeks), 2015-2025
