With everything around (like movies, clothes, utensils, chancellery and so on), it had grossed over 1 trillion dollars of cumulative incomes (and the and number largely varies depending on various estimates).
If not to consider various non-gaming ways of earning, Pokemons have earned for all time over 50 billion dollars. Up to this day, it is one of the most profitable and popular media franchises of the world, with 0.3 billion copies of games sold globally. The rebirth was in 2016 with its mega-super popular Pokemon Go, which allowed everyone to turn their mobile smartphone into a device of augmented reality, giving millions of people a possibility to catch Pokemons on the streets. The first one was in 1996 for Nintendo and was averagely popular. Pokemon: all about Pokemon (spelled correctly as Pokémon) is a Japanese game that literally has two birthdays.
