Pokémon Company has record year with Pokémon Legends: Z-A

The Pokémon Company has presented its financial results for the fiscal year ending in February 2026, and it marks the best year in the franchise’s history. Pokémon’s strength as a brand lies largely in the variety of experiences tailored to fans of all ages. With Switch games, the trading card game (TCG), mobile options, LEGO, and the anime, the franchise offers fans plenty of ways to engage. This diversity has helped the franchise thrive over the past three decades.

Financial results

In the fiscal year ending in February 2026, The Pokémon Company reported record revenue of $3.33 billion, with net profit reaching $752 million. These figures are largely attributed to the success of two products: Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon TCG Pocket. The strong revenue and profit numbers are impressive, with net profit up 70% compared to the previous year.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a bestseller on the new Switch 2, but the game was also released for the original Switch. Across both platforms, the game posted strong sales figures, helping drive The Pokémon Company’s significant jump in net profit. The game launched on October 16, 2025, and currently holds an average score of 79/100 on OpenCritic, with a 64% recommendation rate from critics.

Product lines and diversification

The fiscal year included several product lines that all contributed to The Pokémon Company’s overall revenue. In addition to game releases, this includes the Pokémon Trading Card Game, mobile apps, LEGO products, and the popularity of the anime series. This diversification has not only supported quarterly results, but also strengthened the franchise’s overall growth.

The success of the Pokémon franchise appears set to continue for now, given the strong performance of Pokémon Legends: Z-A and other products. This points to a healthy future for The Pokémon Company, with exciting possibilities for new releases and further growth in markets worldwide.
