What this is
Estimated revenue of The Pokémon Company group for its year to February 2017: about ¥133bn (¥130–136bn).
How it’s built
- Nintendo’s annual report for the year to March 2017 gives combined revenue of ¥166.1bn for its four equity-method affiliates.
- The Seattle Mariners’ operator is removed at ¥31.2bn (Forbes’ $289m for 2016), or ¥29.3bn using 2015’s $271m.
- Warpstar and PUX, the other two affiliates, are assumed to add ¥1–5bn together. ¥166.1bn − ¥31.2bn − ¥2bn = ¥132.9bn.
What we assumed
- Forbes’ revenue estimate stands in for the club’s accounting revenue.No filed figure exists. For 2025 the research found Forbes nets out several items, so this may understate the club and overstate the Pokémon group.
- Warpstar and PUX had ¥1–5bn of revenue between them.No source gives a figure; this is a judgement range.
- Dollars convert at about ¥108; ¥104–112 moves the result by about ¥1.2bn either way.A rate near the period average; the sensitivity is small.
- The club is in the table for the whole year.Nintendo names it as an equity-method affiliate in both the 2017 and 2018 reports.
Sanity check
The club is about 19% of the printed total here, against about 5% in 2026, so the deduction matters more in this year.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- Printed 4 affiliate revenue: 166,109
- Warpstar plus PUX assumed: 1,000 to 5,000
- Club share of printed: 18.8%
- 166,109 − 31,212 − 2,000 = 132,897 (point)
- 166,109 − 31,212 − 5,000 = 129,897
- 166,109 − 29,268 − 1,000 = 135,841
- At ¥112 or ¥104 the point moves to 131,741 / 134,053
- First Avenue was equity-accounted all year …
