What this is
Claimed tourism spending from Pokémon GO's four live events in 2019: Chicago $120m, Yokohama $100m, Dortmund $60m, Montreal $40m.
How it’s built
- Taken from a FutureGameReleases page, which attributes the figures and attendances to Niantic's own website. The original Niantic page was not checked.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
The cities add to $320m but the page states a $250m total, so at least one figure is wrong. This is visitor spending in each city, not money to any Pokémon company.
The values
- Chicago: $120m
- Dortmund: $60m
- Yokohama: $100m
- Montreal SafariZone: $40m
- Stated total: $250m
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
