The Pokémon effect: How a 30-year-old franchise still dominates the charts

Highlights:

  • A brand launched in 1996 continues to thrive across games, cards, merchandise and media.
  • Nostalgia and escapism are drawing both millennials and Gen Z into the world of Pokémon.
  • In a volatile gaming market, Pokémon remains one of the most dependable money-makers in entertainment.

The long-game of nostalgia and obsession

When Pokémon first appeared on the Game Boy in 1996, it spoke to children who dreamed of capturing creatures and building teams. Today, those kids are grown and still investing time and money into the franchise. The adults who once shouted “Gotta catch ’em all” are now collectors, co-players with their children, or consumers of nostalgia-driven merchandise.
One Reddit user wrote:

“I’m in my mid-30s and, believe me, it’s really cool that you can randomly talk about Pokémon at the lunch table at work … everyone can add something to it.”This speaks to how the childhood habit becomes a social currency for adults.It isn’t just the title that matters; it’s the shared memory.
