The Pokemon Company International brought in $4.2 billion in retail sales in 2019
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Pokemon Company generated $2.98 billion in 2018. That number went up to $4.2 billion in 2019, according to License Global.
2019 was one of the biggest years yet for Pokemon. The franchise saw Detective Pikachu in movie theaters and the launch of Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield on Switch. We’d also be remiss if we failed to mention Pokemon GO, which continues to be a monster success. The IP is represented in many areas with the trading card game, toys, apparel and accessories, designer collaborations, tech gear, home decor, and more.
Thanks to Timurs for the tip.
