What this is
Total copies of all Pokémon-related video games shipped worldwide as of 31 March 2024: over 480 million, unchanged from a year earlier.
How it’s built
- Read from The Pokémon Company’s Japanese “Pokémon in Figures” page, as archived by the Internet Archive in July 2024.
What we assumed
- “Over 480 million” is used as the value.The page gives only a floor.
Sanity check
No growth in a year when Pokémon games kept selling suggests the figure was not updated, or that the floor was left in place. Treat it as a minimum.
