Pokémon Pokopia Supply Shortage Impacts Chart Performance
According to Chris Dring from The Game Business, retail availability of Pokopia is severely limited. Current stock levels indicate that its physical sales are less than half of what Pokémon Legends: Z-A achieved. Major retailers such as Amazon, GAME, and The Game Collection show no listings for Pokopia. Other stores like Smyths and Currys are out of stock for home delivery, with only a few locations stocking the game.
