How The Pokémon Company makes money from each mobile game, as of October 2026

What this is

How The Pokémon Company makes money from each mobile game, as of October 2026: it sells Pocket, Sleep and UNITE itself, but only licenses GO.

How it’s built

1. Read who sells each game from store listings and official credits: The Pokémon Company for Pocket, Sleep and UNITE; Scopely for GO.
2. Where it is the seller it books player spending and pays developers (DeNA and Creatures for Pocket) a share; for GO it receives a licence fee and development payment.

What we assumed

• The company named as seller in the stores books the player revenue.The seller of record normally does; The Pokémon Company does not publish how it presents this revenue.

Sanity check

DeNA books only the share it receives for Pocket, which is consistent. The size of each flow is not disclosed.
