A check that Nintendo's description of its trade with The Pokémon Company, 'purchase of our products and contract manufacturing', really sits in the business-dealings column of its 2026 affiliate table

How it’s built

1. The filed report was fetched again and the position of each cell on the page measured: the cell's centre lines up exactly with the column header for business dealings, clear of the neighbouring columns.
2. Nintendo's subsidiaries in the same column read 'purchase of our products', which supports the reading.

What we assumed

Nothing. The figure is used as published.

Sanity check

Confirmed for the year to March 2026 only; the other ten years were not re-measured.

Where it comes from

Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes.
