What this is
Where “Pocket Monsters” ranked for recognition among all 89 characters in Japan’s October 2018 national survey: 27th, after 26th of 90 in 2017 and 27th of 96 in 2016.
How it’s built
- Read from the Nippon Research Center’s published report of its October 2018 national character survey of people aged 15 to 79, who were shown names only.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
First among the seven game characters, but well behind the top manga and anime names. Names only were shown.
