What this is
A full-text recount of GitHub's takedown archive for 2016 to November 2026: 13 files mention Pokémon, but only 6 were sent by or for Nintendo or TPCi; the other 7 are third parties protecting their own work.
How it’s built
- The whole archive was searched for Pokémon in any spelling, and for TPCi and 'Pokémon Company'.
- Each of the seven extra matches was opened and its sender read: none is Nintendo, TPC, TPCi, Game Freak or Creatures.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
No notice from the rights holders naming Pokémon appears from 2021 to November 2026, so the six from 2016–2020 are the complete set.
The values
- Files matching: 13
- TPCi or Pokémon company text hits: 2
- Game freak or creatures hits: 0
- Pokémon rightsholder notices 2021 2026: 0
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
