What this is
How many visitors attended the 2026 Pokémon Japan Championships in Yokohama: about 21,000.
How it’s built
- Reported by saiganak, a Japanese fan-news site: attendance “over 20,000”, with an estimate in the text of “about 21,000”.
What we assumed
- The in-text estimate of about 21,000 is used rather than the “over 20,000” headline.V Jump, a Shueisha magazine, separately reports about 21,000.
Sanity check
About double the roughly 10,000 V Jump gives for the year before. No cash prizes were listed and no entry fee was stated.
