Pokémon Pokopia has been such a massive success for Nintendo that its release managed to turn the tide of the company’s stock prices. After reporting consistent drops since November 2025, Pokopia’s seemingly unexpected success has resulted in Nintendo share’s increasing in value by 15%.
As Bloomberg reports, Nintendo opened on Monday (Japanese time) to the tune of ¥8,606 (roughly $54.37) before closing at ¥9,932 (roughly $62.74). That’s an increase of nearly 15%, which is a much-needed boost for the company. Woes over the current state of RAM prices, AI data centers, and volatile computer pricing has seen investors get weary of any tech-related stocks. Despite boasting some impressive holiday numbers, Nintendo hasn’t been free from falling stocks.
Pokémon Pokopia, on the other hand, is so successful that physical copies are selling out at various retailers. Just yesterday, we reported how Amazon was raising the price of the game to bank off the hype, though that was quickly corrected later in the day. Stores can’t keep Pokopia on shelves, even with the game being the first first-party title to ship on the maligned Game-Key Card. It seems the power of Pokémon can overcome anything.
