That is honestly crazy I thought this was a dead game at least my group of friends dropped it

I can't believe how much money this game is making still! In my area it is no longer popular but clearly it still is, and with newer generations of pokemon coming in I can see why. I also believe when the new pokemon games come out on switch it will also get a bit more players due to that catching style it has.

The game was pretty popular when it came out, seems like it died quickly as the user base. Was an annoying game even when I had the game

Even though the game ain't as popular as it once was it is still killing the figures.
