What this is
Which kinds of Pokémon books each company is credited on, 1997–2026: The Pokémon Company supervises game books (39) and no anime-titled ones; ShoPro supervises anime-titled books (34) and no game guides.
How it’s built
- Sorted each credited record by title: anime (series or film names), game (guides, cards, platforms) or other.
- 22 of ShoPro’s supervision credits are on children’s puzzle and picture books whose art source the record does not show, so they are left unclassified.
What we assumed
- A book’s title shows whether its art comes from the games or the anime.Usually, but not for generation-titled children’s books, which is why those are left out.
Sanity check
The split is sharp: game art credits the game side, anime art credits ShoPro. No publisher pages were read to confirm it.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
