An internal document from The Pokemon Company reveals past considerations to increase the price of Pokemon games beyond the original $60 per version during the Nintendo Switch era.The document also highlights strategies to boost sales by encouraging simultaneous purchases of both versions.While higher prices were discussed, they were not standardized in North America at the time.

The document includes sales data showing that 41% of players bought both versions of Sun/Moon, 50% for Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, and 23% for Let’s Go, Pikachu/Eevee.The latest insights come from the Game Freak Teraleak, which has previously uncovered leaks like the Winds and Waves game.The document outlines three pricing scenarios, with the first option maintaining current prices to maximize sales and avoid royalty increases.

A second option involves a price hike with discounted double packs to encourage bulk purchases, while the third scenario risks higher overseas prices and potential sales drops.The company aims to achieve 1.65 million to 2 million dual version sales in Japan, emphasizing the strategic importance of bundling products despite potential price barriers.
