Record

Which Pokémon games The Pokémon Company publishes and sells itself in Japan, so their Japanese copies are missing from Nintendo's sales tables

1996-2026

ReportedOur classification of published credits; one title rests on inference.

What this is

Which Pokémon games The Pokémon Company publishes and sells itself in Japan, so their Japanese copies are missing from Nintendo's sales tables: Pokopia, Pokkén Tournament DX, New Pokémon Snap, and probably Pokémon Friends.

How it’s built

  1. Listed titles whose Japanese credits name The Pokémon Company as publisher and seller.
  2. For main-series games such as Legends: Z-A, Nintendo's tables include Japan (3.20m in the year to March 2026), so nothing is missing.
  3. Pokopia's missing Japanese copies are at least 1.0m, probably about 1.25–1.6m, all in Nintendo's year to March 2026.

What we assumed

  • Pokémon Friends is published by The Pokémon Company in Japan.Inferred, not documented.
  • Pokopia sold 1.25–1.6m in Japan in that year.1.0m is a firm floor from the four-day announcement; the higher figures are an estimate.

Sanity check

The earlier Japanese gaps for Pokkén DX and Snap were already allowed for, so this is not a new source of unexplained copies.

Where it comes from

Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.

  • Pokopia japan m: 1.0 hard floor; ≈1.25-1.6 (C, /-11)
  • Q143 window items already named: Pokkén DX Japan 0.13-0.54m; Snap Japan in named
  1. Pokopia JP ≈1.25-1.6m is FY3/26
  2. Q143 ≥15.6m/≥20.4m residuals already net TPC-Japan items
