Since the launch of the Nintendo Switch in 2017, the Pokemon franchise has released two generations worth of games, remakes, and spin-offs. As the hybrid console nears the end of its life cycle, Nintendo has revealed that the Pokemon series has combined for a staggering 99 million units sold on the Switch.

Nintendo will allow current Switch games to be played on the hit console’s successor, as it looks to drum up excitement among its current user base.

As Nintendo gears up for its next generation console, the Switch will remain a core piece of the company's business.
