Released Sep 12, 2022
This PC Pokemon game released in September 2022 has seen considerable collector interest in recent months. Coverage has focused largely on the resurfacing of long-lost Pokemon titles from earlier eras - particularly PokéPark Fishing, a 2005 DS game that was once exclusive to a limited Japanese audience and has since appeared on the secondary market for significant sums. Meanwhile, a separate Pokemon title, Pokémon Pokopia, has achieved notable commercial success as the second-best-selling game on Nintendo Switch 2, with adoption among nearly a quarter of that console's user base. The broader narrative reflects ongoing fascination with both obscure Pokemon releases and the franchise's continued commercial momentum across platforms.
