Pokemon Pokopia is selling out around the world
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
While we don’t have exact numbers just yet, it looks like Pokemon Pokopia is a smash hit on Nintendo Switch 2 with the game selling out worldwide.

Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are not taking orders at this time. Amazon technically has the game in stock, but has strangely increased the price to $80 – perhaps to take advantage of the hype right now.
