What this is
The share of players under 18 (Juniors and Seniors) at North American Pokémon card-game Regional Championships, per event: from 11.7% (Sacramento 2024) to 18.0% (Sacramento 2025) across ten events.
How it’s built
- Took official player counts by age division from pokemon.com event results for nine Regionals in 2023–2025, plus Fort Wayne 2017 from a fan site.
- Divided Juniors plus Seniors by all players: for example Portland 2023, 213 of 1,301 = 16.4%.
What we assumed
- The Fort Wayne 2017 counts are right.They come from a fan site, SixPrizes, not the official results.
- Division labels were read in the right order.Checked on two result pages; Juniors are fewer than Seniors at every event, as season totals suggest.
Sanity check
All ten are North American events, so this says nothing about other regions, and Regionals draw keener players than local play.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
