A figure of about 7 million officially registered Pokémon card players worldwide, as of 2024, quoted by a third-party site. Neither The Pokémon Company nor its Western arm publishes such a count

How it’s built

1. Reported by pokecard.jp, a Japanese fan site, which footnotes it to Pokémon's general US card-game page; that page gives no player count.

What we assumed

• The figure describes sign-ups for official play, not people who play.The only registration the company runs is for official events; no company page states the number.

Sanity check

Registered is not active: accounts accumulate over the years and many will be dormant. The figure excludes the separate Pokémon TCG Pocket app.

The value

• 7,000,000 registered players ('approx.')
