On its 30th anniversary, Nintendo declared a series of publications about Pokémon, which turned February 27, 2026, into a month of intense involvement of fans. Starting with hearty downloadable content all the way to exclusive titles in life simulation, these announcements stress the timeless attractiveness of the franchise in the context of increased sales of the Switch 2.
Enhancement of Legends Z-A Mega
Pokémon Legends: Z-A was supplied with Mega Dimension DLC at the price of 29.99, which added Mega Garchomp Z through the Mystery Gift; a Garchompite Z stone can be obtained by the players, which is approximately 1 hour into the start of the gameplay.
The Nintendo Switch Edition costs 69.99 with a 9.99 upgrade pack, with the regular Switch base version being priced at 59.99. According to analysts, the consistent increase in popularity of mega evolutions by experienced players reflects a 28% role of Pokémon names in Nintendo’s 12.5 billion revenue in the FY2025.
New Faces in Time-tested Brands
Pokémon Champions was released on Switch and was to simultaneously act as the host of the 2026 World Championship. Pokémon UNITE also features legendary birds Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno as events featuring starters Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr -Electrode Volleyball tours will follow.
The free-to-play Café ReMix was launched on October 28, 2021, opening a partnership with Pokémon, with beginning starters and additional aesthetic variations available. With such a multi-game game, says Serkan Toto of Kantan Games, there will be 150 million active monthly users, whose use will remain free of charge after obtaining an update on top of that purchase.

Extrapolating Future projections
Such releases are a harbinger of a strategic change at Pokémon to hybrid experiences that blend nostalgia with a 50-million-unit projection that Switch 2 will reach by 2027.
The ongoing domination is anticipated to be achieved as Gen 10 rumors are being circulated; the revenues may increase to $15 billion dollars in the upcoming fiscal year; in case the launch quantities reach 20 million units. They are also strongly encouraged to remain engaged because the franchise is still being developed.
