What this is
Which creatures TPC's brand sheets of August 2025 and August 2026 name for the programmes TPC runs itself: every such programme that names a creature names Pikachu, three in each edition, from the Pikachu Jet to J.League matches.
How it’s built
- Both editions of TPC's brand sheet were read in full and every creature name counted.
- Programmes were sorted into those TPC designs and casts itself, including tie-ups with public bodies, a league and airlines, and products made and sold by licensees.
What we assumed
- The sorting into TPC-run programmes and licensee products is ours.The sheets do not label them, so the classification is a reading of each description.
Sanity check
Programmes that give each partner its own creature, such as one creature per J.League club, name many creatures and still put Pikachu at the head.
The value
- Lead designation: none in either edition
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
Where it comes from
Our calculation from other figures in the trainer’s notes:
- FiledCreatures named in text, Aug 2026 edition, Aug 2026
- FiledCreature names in the sheet text, Aug 2026 edition (issued Sept 2026)
Show the working
- name counts on line-joined, NFKC-normalised text of both archives
- Pikachu headline in DJ live, sleep ambassador, Jet (2025) and airport, J.League special fest, Jet (2026) = 3 of 4 TPC-run programmes each year
