What this is
Who Niantic said invested in its October 2015 round: The Pokémon Company and its US subsidiary The Pokémon Company International (together ‘the Pokémon group’), Google and Nintendo.
How it’s built
- Read from Niantic’s Japanese press release as reprinted by Famitsu, a Japanese games magazine.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
It names both Pokémon entities but gives no amounts for either, and says nothing about who still held shares in 2025.
The value
- 株式会社ポケモン + The Pokemon Company International (ポケモングループ)
