How it’s built
- Added Nintendo’s lifetime unit figures for Scarlet/Violet, Sword/Shield, Legends: Z-A, X/Y, Sun/Moon, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon: 125.9 million.
- Divided by The Pokémon Company’s over 515 million for all Pokémon-related software at March 2026.
What we assumed
- Nintendo’s copies sold to retailers and The Pokémon Company’s shipments are close enough to compare.Both count copies leaving the publisher, but they are different companies’ counts; the research treats them as comparable, not identical.
- Mixing dates: Switch titles to June 2026, the rest and the total to March 2026.Switch figures are three months later, so the 24% is slightly too high; it is an upper bound for these titles.
Sanity check
The other three-quarters spans 30 years of older games, spin-offs and remakes Nintendo does not list. It shows the recent main series is a minority of the all-time total, not a precise share.

- Sum 10k units: 12,591
- Sum million: 126
- Share of TPC 515m: 0.244
- Z-A Switch-only (10k): 910
- 2846+2726+1309+1680+1634+1468+928 = 12591
- 125.91/515 = 0.244
- 1309−399 = 910
