Yes...but not very relevant. The number of contributors to Wikipedia is quite interesting and relevant to many people, but no reliable figure is readily available.
Speaking for myself, the existence of Pokemon is not directly a problem. But Wikipedia would certainly be better off if somehow all the effort that was expended on Pokemon articles was somehow invested in other ways.

Pokemon are massive. How many pokemon can you name? How many uk canals (my area) can you name?
Zero. Now, if all the people who had put 20 hours into Pokemon articles had instead put 5 hours into Pokemon articles, and 15 hours into cleanup of random articles, don't you think Wikipedia would be better off?
