Pokemon
Proportion of in-app purchases coming from Japan is almost nine times as big as the player base.
Looks like we’ll need to save even more room for Poké-desserts (not that we mind, of course).
From advent calendars to Pika Ear Santa Hants and so-ugly-they’re-cute Christmas sweaters, there’s something for everyone.
Straight from Tokyo Game Show 2024, this cute product is set to become a hit with Pokémon fans.
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s legal teams used Infringement of Patent Rights claims! Will they be effective?
The newest Pokémon manhole cover is also the first to feature the classic Nintendo hardware, but not everyone will get to see it.
