The 5 Best Selling Pokémon Games of All Time

1-5

The Pokémon Games that made the most money

Paul Hayes Paul Hayes
Gaming -
Pokemon x and y

5. Pokémon X & Y - 16.5 million sales: As the first Pokémon game on the Nintendo 3DS, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. To finally see your beloved companions in 3D... a wonderful moment. In addition, to the graphical innovations, the battle system was also expanded to include Mega Evolutions, which gave certain Pokémon new abilities for a short time. Even though the story couldn't quite keep up with its great predecessors, the modern touch gave the Pokémon world a new charm. This was one of the reasons why the game sold 16.5 million copies. | © Nintendo

Pokemon diamond and pearl

4. Pokémon Diamond & Pearl - 17.6 million sales: The mystical events surrounding Red Garados, and the fearsome figures of Dialga and Palkia led to an amazing story. 17.6 million copies sold. | © Nintendo

Pokemon sword shield

3. Pokémon Sword & Shield - 21.1 million sales: To arms! In the eighth generation of the game series, we were sent to the fictional region of Galar, which is similar to Pokémon X & Y and has a European touch. Those who have a Nintendo Switch should consider diving into this world. You will be able to bring your Pokémon on an Euorpean-like adventure | © Nintendo

Pokemon Gold

2. Pokémon Gold & Silver - 23.7 million sales: The second generation of Pokémon games came about in 1999 and set a new milestone for the game. For the first time, you could experience different times of day via an integrated clock, which in turn influenced the emergence of certain Pokémon. The Johto region was and still is one of the most impressive regions in the Pokémon universe. The game found its way into our hearts 23.7 million times. Ten years later, we got a remake in HeartGold and SoulSilver. There, your favorite Pokémon followed you wherever you went, just like it did in the Yellow Edition released in 1998. So, why not try out the remake and have your favorite Poké-pal following you around! | © Nintendo

Pokemon red and blue

1. Pokémon Red & Blue - 31 million sales: Every gamer has probably played this game at some point. Whether you are a Pokémon Trainer who picks Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle, we can all agree this game was one of the coolest RPGs of the time. That's right, you may not think of Pokémon as an RPG game, but Red and Blue have so many old-school RPG elements that there is no denying its roots lie in a turn-based random encounter style RPG. But, more importantly, did you catch all 150 of the original Pokémon? Did you catch'em all? | © Nintendo

1-5

We take a look at the numbers and tell you the best-selling Pokémon games of all time. Pokémon, it's a name that immediately brings back memories of childhood for many people, or remains your favorite game until this day. When developer Game Freak brought the lovable little pocket monsters to life on the Game Boy on February 27, 1996. It was a historic moment in gaming history and since then, the number of Pokémon has increased from 151 to 898, and a whopping 122 games have been released in the Pokémon universe. But did the games get better and better? Which Pokémon game is the most successful and has the most sales, and which one among them is really the best?

Have you had the chance to play Pokémon Unite? We explain the ranked system in Nintendo's new MOBA.
