Just how much has the Pokemon franchise sold games wise? How does it all break down?
When it comes to Nintendo, their 1st party franchises are legendary, especially when it comes to their sales numbers. In the cases of Mario, Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros, and Pokemon, they almost always excel. For Pokemon especially, the franchise has been going 20 years strong on multiple platforms, and every new generation is a full-on event. So, you might interested in hearing that with the launch of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the franchise has shipped 300 million game copies all over the world.
To be clear, that covers 76 games since its inception in February 1996. That’s an impressive amount, and given early numbers of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, that’s going to keep growing.
Gotta Catch’em All! Right?
I know Pokemon is a loved and well known franchise but I didn't think that many sales would come out within its release. Though the trailers do show some great scenes in the game.
