How it’s built
- Searched 24 archived copies of the company's figures pages, the live Japanese and English pages, and press kits.
- They give only counts: languages sold in (11 rising to 16) and countries and regions (74 rising to over 90).
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
The only Japan-versus-overseas split ever published (45:55, then 35:65) is for lifetime sales of all Pokémon products, not cards, and must not be used as Japan's card share.
The value
- Creatures page: 16 languages, '90以上のエリア', cumulative only; no split (..G-3)
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
