Speaking in the latest issue of Japanese publication Famitsu, The Pokemon Company have revealed that Pokemon-branded video games have officially shipped over 300 million units.
From 1996's Pokemon Red & Blue to 2017's Pokemon Ultra Sun & Moon, stopping along the way at Stadium, Snap, Pokken and yes, even Hey You, Pikachu! The legendary franchise only 90's kids will remember has remained a juggernaut of the video game industry.
The number is based on over 76 titles published within the last 21 years featuring the little critters, it takes into account both physical and digital sales. While Pokemon was a little after my time, I'm aware of the deep connections it has with multiple generations of gamers who remember the first run of titles like they were yesterday, while Pikachu and co. are still appealing to new fans every day.
Kudos to you, Pokemon, perhaps you really were the very best, like no-one ever was.
