The most recent installments in the series include Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus which proved to be really successful becoming one of the main reasons for the growth of The Pokémon Company which saw an incredible increase in sales in the last fiscal year.
