The Pokemon Company’s success can likely be attributed to a number of factors, such as the continuing popularity of Pokemon GO and the resurgence in interest for the Pokemon TCG. With regards to the games, they also released the Pokemon Sword And Shield Expansion Pass, although no new mainline game was released that year.
