I'm surprised it's up from 2014 since they didn't have any main game releases this year. I guess the other merchandise is just selling better.

Despite the fact that many people are disappointed with the current stage of Pokémon go beta, that game alone and the live action movie which will certainly be cringy even if not completely bad, will make Nintendo and Pokémon grow ridiculously. They have nicely set to the anniversary and I can see even my grandchildren still knowing what Pokémon is

I'm guessing the Pokemon company borrowed Nintendo's money printers because Nintendo doesn't need them right now.

Correct But yeah its related to the two things:The Resurgence of the Pokemon Brand in India and the TCG Sales which where up 34% in 2014 and further 56 % in 2015. http://www.toynews-online.biz/news/read/esdevium-games-enjoys-record-sales-year-for-pok-mon-trading-card-game/045887 http://forbesindia.com/article/big-bet/pokemons-second-coming/41785/1 Last edited by timur72299 on Sat May 07, 2016 8:40 am; edited 1 time in total |

The side games and the trading cards were definitely big helps in the revenue increase.

Sounds like I should get back into the Pokémon TCG. It became uninteresting to me around Generation V because I couldn't make weird, creative decks like I used to. |

That extra million was probably from people buying Jewels in Pokemon Shuffle.

I don't think there ever going to stop as long as they keep making the kind of money that they do we're have Pokémon around forever.

Many people would feel "it's not Pokémon anymore" if any of its primary mechanics were changed drastically. ![]() |
