The franchise that originally began as an RPG video game has managed to expand to other entertainment media such as television series, movies, card games, and clothing, among others.
A little over a year ago, ‘Pokémon’ appeared in fourth place with 386 million, but in 2022 it has grown very sharply with two releases that have obtained a lot of commercial performance.
