I noticed that it does not mention Dynamax/Gigantimax

although this is a recent feature, as far as I know, it's not mentioned. Please add this section (unless people are waiting for it to become more developed. I understand that) Pokémon&BandGeek (talk) 23:04, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

$900 billion in revenue?

How much??? I doubt that figure can be anywhere near possible.92.234.185.128 (talk) 12:16, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Revenue figure

There is no fucking way pokemon go did $900 billion in revenue.

Microsoft did $245 billion in 2024. Its not even close to being rooted in reality 194.125.30.59 (talk) 23:24, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

900 billion yens? Juxlos (talk) 03:33, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Meltan

someone posted that meltan and melmetal are the only mythicals introduced in pokemon go. This is vague. There are many mythicals in pokemon. This can also be misconstrued in such a manner, that meltan and melmetal were only introduced in the game itself. This is also not the case, as meltan was introduced in the anime.
