What this is
A count of the games on The Pokémon Company’s official Japanese game list, by year and console, 1996 to 2026: 102 entries, 97% on Nintendo platforms.
How it’s built
- Counted every entry on the official Japanese Pokémon game list by year and platform.
- Found 102 entries, of which 3 are on non-Nintendo platforms (such as arcade or tabletop): 97% Nintendo.
What we assumed
- The official list is a fair inventory of console games.It omits smartphone titles such as Pokémon GO, Sleep and TCG Pocket, and mixes in re-releases, add-ons and services. It is a list count, not a census.
- Nintendo makes and sells the listed games.The list does not name publishers; the company’s own history says Nintendo manufactures and sells Pokémon video games.
Sanity check
The 1996–2017 entries total 80, close to the 76 titles the company itself counted in 2017. 2024 has no entries, matching a year whose only launch was the mobile TCG Pocket.
