In other words, in just five years the Pokémon Company’s profits have grown by over 1,200 percent!
For Marvel, for example, right now it’s their Avengers-related series, whereas for Square Enix it’s Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
Japanese game industry news organization Social Game Info reports that the Pokémon Company, which closes its accounting year at the end of February, reported 13.389 billion yen (US$122.835 million) in gross profit for the one-year period ended February 28, 2019.
But the Pokémon Company is unique in that it lives or dies entirely by its namesake franchise…and recently, it’s been living the good life.
