Question

What is the most expensive copy of a Pokemon game ever to be sold?

Comments

Idk If it's the most expensive, but it does say its the most expensive copy of either of those two games. Japanese red/green probably is more expensive

Your question says nothing about rarity. It literally says in the article that the prices are record breaking, which is either untrue or means that they're the highest those games have ever sold for. Even if Japanese Red/Green is rarer, they haven't sold for as much as the article says Red/Yellow did.

It says record breaking multiple times, yes, but then it says "In total, the two classic releases brought in $162k – a new record for both games."

To my knowledge it is a Pokemon Red Original graded cartridge for 84,000 USD

Where does this information comes from? Can you explain why we should be confident it's the correct answer?

Answer 1

The most expensive Pokemon game ever sold is, as stated in the comments, a sealed copy of Pokemon Red with a 9.8 grade from Wata. It went for 84,000 USD at an auction in November 2020, and multiple sites confirm this as the most expensive Pokemon game on record.

There's always a chance a cartridge was sold privately that surpasses the price of this Pokemon Red, but the 84k auction is the costliest Pokemon game we know of.
