For years now, the Pokémon license has been delighting young and old alike, and if we thought that the sales of the various video games were quite incredible, those of the Pokémon cards will simply blow your mind!
Billions and billions of Pokémon cards sold
Oh yeah, you read it well ! According to the latest figures published by Serebiia site specializing in the Pokémon franchise, The Pokémon Company has sold a total of no less than 43.2 billion Pokémon cards worldwide.
It’s no secret, but a real business has been created around Pokémon cards. When we were little, many people had the famous Charizard holographic card in their hands, and if we had known earlier that today it would sometimes sell for more than 100,000 dollars, we might have be taken care of, or we just wouldn’t have traded it for a Pikachu.
Today, a trend is truly born and many influencers are embarking on the adventure of opening Pokémon booster packs. In France we have of course the one we could call “dad” with David Lafarge, but also other much younger influencers who have borrowed this trend with Michou and Inoxtag in particular.
A great performance for video games
However, if the sales of Pokémon cards are colossal, those of video games are also doing well. Lately, Pokémon players have indeed been more than served with the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, but also that of Pokémon Sparkling Diamond and Sparkling Pearl, and according to the figures, the two titles seem to have pleased to the community.
According to figures published by Serebii and recorded as of March 31, 2022, The Pokémon Company has more than 440 million software sold to date.a very beautiful increase of 60 million compared to the same time last year. For more details, Arceus sold more than 12.64 million copies, while the tandem sold 14.65 million copies, a total of around 27 million for them alone.
An expected release for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
If The Pokémon Company is doing extremely well, things are not going to stop there, quite the contrary!
In a few months, and more precisely on November 18, 2022, players will welcome the next opus with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet with great fanfare, and this will also be an opportunity to discover this 9th generation, yes already. Which starter are you going to fall for? Chocolate? Hairdresser? Or Pousschat?
