What this is
Total copies of all Pokémon-related video games shipped worldwide as of 31 March 2020: over 368 million.
How it’s built
- Read from The Pokémon Company’s Japanese “Pokémon in Figures” page, as archived by the Internet Archive in September 2020.
What we assumed
- “Over 368 million” is used as the value.The page gives only a floor.
Sanity check
These are shipments to retailers, not sales to players. From 2020 the page always says “shipments” for games.
