I can't help but notice that The Pokémon Company didn't have much of an interest in getting Nintendo to make another limited-edition console/controller for Legends: Arceus.
Pokemon on boxing attire.
I have a lot of this stuff already. In fact I bought that Pikachu and Eevee Controller the last time you posted about it when I was on here not long before I left.
There is literally no way possible pokemon has grossed more than Mickey Mouse since 1928.
@MostHandsieBoy ita confirmed that pokemon is bigger people have been going nuts over pokemon since 2016 thx to pokemon go the video games are tremendous the anime is doing extraordinarily well , live action films and the 25th anniversary all made pokemon the biggest media franchise in history
@MostHandsieBoy also add the pandemic people weren't going after Mickey mouse they were going after pokemon cards influencers like logan paul pulling a 1st edition charizard set the community on fire
@MostHandsieBoy it is bigger
@Stormzstriker It doesn't even scratch the surface of Disney. It is ridiculous to think Pokemon is somehow made more money than Mickey and pals over the course of 98 years. With Disney's 300B USD market cap, parks, merc, films, streaming service etc. I mean...Mickey Mouse is the most known figure on the planet. You can ask a 3 year old in the Sub-Saharan bush who Mickey is and they can tell you.
Pika and pals are amazing money generators...just not on the same scale.
But gross is dumb anyway. Pokemon's relatievly unsuccessful movies are at 2B gross while Disney's - the most popular animated features by many country miles - is rather silly to compare.
Imagine comparing Snow White - which had lines around the theater for 2 years during Hollywood's golden age to Detective Pickachu with a straight face.
anyway. Mickey is bigger than Pikachu for now.
@MostHandsieBoy Mickey Mouse would've been bigger if it was more active now. Disney as a whole doesn't really do a lot with their mascot. Well, at least not in the 21st century. Sure there is still some merchandise and there are some shows. But overshadowed by popular Disney IPs. Like Star Wars and Frozen.
Where Pokémon is massively active with games, TV, movies, TCG, and a lot of merchandise.
@MostHandsieBoy Do you have any viable sources to back up what you're saying?
I take that as a no then lol
@Anti-Matter Haha that's cute. Though, if they were gonna do boxing attire, they could have at least used hitmonchan or something.

@MostHandsieBoy
Bigger than pikachu not in the gaming world it ain't
The gaming industry is getting bigger than nothing rn
Here is another source to prove your wrong
https://ultimatepopculture.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises
@MostHandsieBoy it's not about how much money the film makes as long as it was successful for the company then its considered performed well also dnt make me laugh ever since the launch of pokemon go the hype has been unreal especially with the 25th anniversary last year during the pandemic ppl weren't after Mickey mouse they were scalping cards the cards are insane and generate an insane amount of value, also pokemon excels everywhere not just in videogames but in trading card and toys , tv and animation, side projects , the trading cards game is so big that they actually separated the department from toys , live action film , celebrity deals and influencers like logan paul consider yourself destroyed it is the largest media franchise in history eclipsing disney pokemon has made 110 billion dollars higher than anyone else
@RubyCarbuncle which part? how stupid it is to count gross versus inflation adjusted?
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/chart/top_lifetime_gross_adjusted/?adjust_gross_to=2019
Today's movies may have well as not have even existed compared to golden age movies.
lol but I'm not going to get my crack research team on this one. Feeling lazy and only a dum-dum would think mons are more popular than Mickey. It's a ridiculous concept for children who think scalpers of the cards matter. cheers
@Stormzstriker That is incredible. Thank you for sharing that.
@MostHandsieBoy Are you calling me a Child? you know I'm likely older than most if not all users and Members of Staff across all 3 websites here right? read what the other guy sent before throwing petty insults. "Cheers"
@MostHandsieBoy Enjoy being added to ignore.
I am surprised you guys didn't list the best pokemon stuffed item. Eevee wearing her/his different evolutions as a cape.
