Number of Pokémon games listed for 1996 on The Pokémon Company’s official Japanese software list

What this is

Number of Pokémon games listed for 1996 on The Pokémon Company’s official Japanese software list: 2 (Red/Green and Blue).

How it’s built

1. Counted the entries under the 1996 heading on the official game software list at pokemon.co.jp.

What we assumed

• The official list’s entries count as titles.It is the company’s own list, but it mixes remakes, add-ons and apps, and omits some years, so counts are a lower bound.

Sanity check

Red and Green are one entry, so this counts listings rather than separate products.
