Pokémon games are pretty popular, in the grand scheme of things. So it's not a huge shock to discover that the total revenue from mobile games in the franchise tops $2.5 billion — which is a fairly sizable sum, I would say. The rest of that revenue comes from their other mobile titles: Pokémon Shuffle Mobile, Pokémon Duel, Pokémon Quest, Pokémon Magikarp Jump, and Pokémon TCG Online — which, y'know, seem like they're doin' alright. The US spends the most total on the franchise at decently modest $875 million, while Japan isn't far behind at a fairly passé $725 million. So yeah, a pretty solid performance by The Pokémon Company, who's now accumulated more money than the GDP of some nations.
