How it’s built
- Assembled from dated records: 4Kids as agent 1998–2005; Pokémon USA / The Pokémon Company International from 2006; Netflix from 2020; WildBrain free streaming channels from 2024; a Disney+ global deal in August 2026.
- Country counts: about 70 (68 countries plus 2 regions) in 2007, 77 in 2012, 192 by March 2024, about 2.7 times in 17 years.
What we assumed
- The 2007 “68 countries and 2 regions” is counted as 70.It is the simplest reading of the source’s wording; a different treatment of the two regions moves the multiple only slightly.
Sanity check
Every overseas video deal recorded since 2006 is with The Pokémon Company International, not TV Tokyo or ShoPro. Country counts come from different years’ statements and may not count territories the same way.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
Show the working
- Assembly, no arithmetic beyond counts: 68+2 = 70 (2007) -> 77 (2012) -> 192 (2024), 2.7x over 17 years
- Every overseas video counterparty since 2006 contracts with TPCi, not TV Tokyo or ShoPro
