This week, it was revealed that Pok\u00e9mon <\/strong>took the top spot in a ranking of Japan\u2019s most wide-reaching entertainment brands in the year 2024. The ranking is based on a comprehensive domestic study across seven categories of entertainment including console games, apps, books and music conducted by marketing firm GEM Partners (reported by Otaku Soken<\/a>).\u00a0Other game IPs that made it on to the list include Monster Strike (ranked 9th) Dragon Quest (10th) and Genshin Impact (11th).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study is based on \u201creach points\u201d \u2013 a unique indicator that represents the number of people who come into contact with content bearing the name of a work or brand per day, and is calculated using digital media such as apps, games, music, videos, and manga.
