The Pokémon Company posted another strong fiscal year, reporting record-breaking sales and profits that underscore the brand's continued commercial strength across video games and collectible products.
The company's latest financial report, covering the year that ended February 28, 2026, highlights significant year-on-year gains and confirms the commercial impact of recent product releases and ongoing demand for Pokémon-branded merchandise.
Key financial highlights
- Net sales: 531 billion yen, a 29 percent year-on-year increase.
- Operating profit: 144 billion yen, up 43 percent from the prior fiscal year.
- Net profit: 120 billion yen, a 70 percent increase year-on-year.
In plain language, The Pokémon Company’s report shows the business generated substantially higher revenue and profit across operations during the fiscal period, with double-digit growth rates in core financial metrics.
Game performance and product drivers
The report names recent video-game releases among the contributors to the fiscal performance.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is reported to have sold close to 13 million copies during the period covered by the results.
The filing also notes that titles such as Pokemon Pokopia and the re-releases of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen were outside the reporting window, because the fiscal year closed on February 28, 2026, and therefore are not included in these figures.
Beyond software, The Pokémon Trading Card Game continues to be a major commercial driver.
The report points to consistently strong demand for TCG products and frequent sell-through as an important revenue stream alongside digital and boxed game sales.
Looking ahead
The company confirmed that new mainline entries titled Pokemon Winds and Waves are scheduled for release in 2027.
The report cautions that those launches fall outside the covered fiscal year and therefore will not materially affect the current set of results.
Context for Nintendo platforms
Historically, Pokémon titles target Nintendo hardware, most notably the Nintendo Switch platform, and announcements around Pokémon releases often appear during Nintendo Direct presentations or through the Nintendo eShop.
Nintendo itself released a separate financial update last month, underscoring the broader ecosystem in which The Pokémon Company operates.
The fiscal filing paints a clear picture: with strong software sales, collectible-product demand and further releases on the horizon, The Pokémon Company cemented a notably profitable year for its IP during fiscal 2026.
