¥2.3bn December 2021 to July 2024

How it’s built

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

The yen figure is the company's own conversion at the ruling-date rate. The release names no Nintendo, Creatures or Game Freak co-plaintiff, and it is a first ruling, not money shown as received.
