(Source: Estimated from Chart Wikipedia DE) The number of passengers transported annually was about 45 million. (Hence more have been released, the newest in 2011) The entire fleet of All Nippon Airways consisted of about 200 Airplanes in 1999. We know for a fact that people were and still are desperate to fly with one of these Pikachu planes or at least spot one at the airport. And what better way to promote flying with All Nippon Airways then promoting the 4 new planes of the fleet to Nintendo fans, who could also win a console at the same time. This is surely not a coincidence since the airline had to profit of this partnership in some way also. As you can see 4 new Pokémon Jets were introduced by the airline in 1999, the same year the contest started.
