How it’s built
- Took release dates from Wikipedia’s list of Pokémon video games and placed each in Nintendo’s April-to-March year.
What we assumed
- Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl counts as main series though made by an outside studio, ILCA.It is a remake of a main-series pair; it is noted alongside Legends: Arceus in that year.
Sanity check
Two years had only add-on content (to March 2021 and March 2024) and one had nothing (to March 2025), matching the gaps in Nintendo’s Pokémon sales.
