The Pokémon Company has just released its new game for Android and iOS devices, Pokémon Unite. Like other online companies, the Japanese firm has achieved an increase in its income in recent years.
Pokémon registered a 19% growth in its net income in the last fiscal year that ended last May. Thus, the company’s income reached US $ 169 million in said period. The figure is the highest in the last decade and represents a better since the US $ 80 million of net income registered in 2017.
And in that growth, the game Pokémon Go has great importance. The app has been downloaded more than a billion times since its launch in 2016.
Although The Pokémon Company is not required to present its financial results, being a private company, it publishes its net income each year.
Online game
The Nintendo-backed Pokémon Company announced in June the multiplatform Pokémon group fighting game developed with Tencent’s Timi Studio, a collaboration between the two Asian giants that puts a new twist on the franchise format.
In “Pokémon Unite” two teams of five players face off on a battlefield and capture pocket monsters. It can be played both on cell phones and on the Nintendo Switch console.
