This game is going to hit $1 Billion in revenue in less than 9 months ๐Ÿ‘‡

Don’t you think? Well, in this special nostalgia episode with John we explore the gameplay mechanics, the nostalgia factor of the game, and the importance of booster packs and collection systems. Jakub discussed the innovative Wonder Pick mechanic that drives player interaction and excitement. There is a content pipeline for next quarter with trading and events coming. Uff! What a pipeline. Also, check the easter egg at the very end of the show.

I assume this game spends around 5-10% of its daily revenue, which is $500k/day. This is a lot as a standalone number, but this is almost nothing regarding the overall daily revenue. The UA foundation is there, but they could expand the operations on multiple levels – channels & creatives. Why not using Pokemon theme song? Why not use narrative/story-driven creatives for each Pokemon? The Pokรฉmon Company International, what do you think?

Creatives are wrapped around pack openings. Which the game is all about. The collection of Pokemon. Gotta catch ’em all, right? Some people missed the important point. Pack openings are incredibly appealing on YouTube for several psychological and entertainment-driven reasons. Hereโ€™s why millions of people are hooked:

Pack openings play on humans’ love for surprises and the dopamine rush of what could be inside. Itโ€™s like scratching a lottery ticketโ€”people are drawn to the suspense of seeing whether the pack contains something rare, valuable, or exciting.

The chance to see rare or limited-edition items being revealed adds an extra layer of excitement. These special pack videos on YouTube often contain items or cards that are hard to come by, making the discovery feel unique and significant.

Pack openings are full of highs and lowsโ€”will they get Mewtwo EX Jakub Remiar, or will it be a Magikarp Felix? This emotional tension creates a narrative thatโ€™s compelling to watch, almost like a mini-drama.

Ultimately, pack openings combine elements of surprise, satisfaction, and shared excitement, making them a perfect recipe for addictive content. Itโ€™s not just about the packsโ€”itโ€™s about the experience!
