How much do you think the normie fag GO players will have

>>29296007
Not that much; a big part of PGO's draw was not needing a new device to play it on.

I doubt anyone who didn't have a 3ds is going to buy one just for SM.

>>29296007
There's a 2DS special Sun/Moon edition, so... a lot of normies will buy SM.

>>29296007
If most of the normie fag GO players are genwunners, then I don't think they will affect the sales much.

I think most Genwunners don't even have a 3DS.

No effect because they all quit PoGo a long time ago.

>>29296007
A boost.

Yes it will. I've already had a bunch of friends get back into pokemon because of GO. They even came to me asking if i could help them out with making teams :')

>>29296007
I remember ORAS had a boost of a few hundred thousands sales after Go's release. Consider the holiday season on top of that and it'll get a decent boost.

>>29296007
well, it certainly won't hinder the sales. it can only serve to benefit them. people who were already planning on buying SM still are, and pokemon go certainly hasn't stopped anybody from wanting to. that would make no sense. it has already boosted sales of 3DS's and previous pokemon games. it's win/win for nintendo no matter what.

>>29296367
you're seriously jaded if you think the general pokemon hype is down just because yours is. as an IP, it is at its all time high in terms of relevance and popularity. it's not doing badly just because you're a cynical manchild who cannot fathom differing opinions even existing.

>>29296007
A nice boost.

People aren't seeing the bigger picture

Imagine all the kids who now want pokemon for Christmas because they kept hearing about it and how great this pokemon thing is

It'll also be a popular choice for parents buying gifts because they'll see it as a safe option

I used to play pokemon back in 4th gen and had white 2 pokemin go made me play those games again and made me get a n3ds for x and sun/Moon I skipped oras

They'll be sorely disappointed.

>>29296007
It'll have an effect but I'm not sure how much

I've heard of a lot of people who quit back in gens 1, 2, and 3 who got interested in Pokemon again because of GO

>>29296007
Huge impact, Mr. Bond. They got gen one pumped into their veins and now with Aloan forms dangled in front of their faces, they're gonna eat it up without realizing how shit SM are gonna be.

"Oh man. I remember Pikachu."
"lol ash"
"dude this game is so easy cause i'm still such a fucking BEAST at Pokemon even though i haven't paid attention to the series in years"

Makes me sick.

>>29298187
Well actually, I've got a friend who's a huge genwunner and absolutely hates most of the Alolan forms. The only ones he likes are Ratata, Geodude line, and Sandhrew line.

You are the jaded one. Pokemon GO has seriously lost much of its appeal. It's evident everywhere you go. It's no longer making headlines. You don't see people walking around playing it anymore. If you still don't believe anecdotal evidence, you can see >>29298316 which is a pretty much objective representation of Pokemon GO's decline. So if there is an effect on sales, it won't be that significant

I don't know about you but where I live it was the obviously NEET obese fucks that gave up on it.

I still see "normies" playing the game frequently when I go out for a walk.

Of course it would climb up that huge amount. 2015 is 2 years after XY.

>posted August 18, 2016
a.k.a., during Pokemon GO peak

If they don't add content to Go, or actual gameplay the game is dead...

2DS is cheap as fuck, all kids who played GO wil get one for christmas with SM preinstalled. And then they'll cry charmander's not in it.

I'm actually one of them. I bought X but skipped ORAS since it was a remake and I found X to be mediocre. After playing GO for a while I was frustrated by how I could never get what I wanted, things always running away and no real battle system and I ended up buying ORAS to scratch my pokemon itch with GO being such a disappointment. Once summer ended I completed my living Pokedex and got on board the Sun/Moon hype train.

This is just personal evidence, but everyone in my department at work are gamers. I convinced 2 co workers to get a 3DS for Pokémon after Pokémon Go fever swept through the office. One even bought a 3DS for his wife and they're excited for the new game.

>>29296007
Speaking as someone who was obsessed with Pokemon since the 2000s and has played every mainline game and XD/Colo on an emulator, Pokemon was way too expensive to purchase because of all the prices of the consoles.

Back in the day, Ninty never sold Pokemon on any of the consoles we bought (PS2, Wii) so I said fug it and emulated every single Pokemon game. In between fangames like GPX Plus, those crappy browser based pokemon games and showdown you can almost get the same experience. Not to mention romhacks and RMXP fangames.

Pogo's draw is that you don't need to buy a console to play a featureless and boring game which costs almost twice as much as the game, and to be frank all of Nintendo's games are shit other than Pokemon so purchasing a console would be a complete waste even if you could install every single CIA for free. Just because I can pirate every game from Skyrim to what have you on PC it doesn't mean that I'm going to bother playing them because as far as I care - they're all shit. Not to mention that one has to learn all the lingo with homebrew and how to avoid bricking it and how to make sure it's on the right firmware (with bigger things like phones and computers, that is terribly easy to avoid and you have an easy way out of it.)

Buying an app for a smartphone is a two step process of button clicking. Pirating something is also far easier than getting a console. And as for the consoles themselves, they are just another item to carry around with you, with a far worse processor and worse graphics than either my computer or my phone.

Unless the proper games were sold on phones and/or computers I doubt that SM is ever going to sell well. I would buy the game if it was sold on a platform that I had access to if not purely for the ability to trade and battle with my mons online but new consoles can go stick itself. No one ever walks around carrying a console whereas everyone carries a phone.

Consoles are second class in many ways.

>>29296058
Many people on my facebook friend lost got one just to play XY back when it was released

>doesn't need a dedicated device
>only has what normalfags grew up with an remember
>is free
>isn't an actual game
>is already dead in the water

>>29296007
Not much.

At least, I hope not much, SM doesn't deserve good sales. It's shit.

Pokémon Colosseum, released 13 years ago (!), had much better graphics, story, movement mechanics, and so on.

Pre-order cancelled and I'm not even fucking kidding.

3DS sales spiked after Go

>>29296007
Given that Go is still practically advertising the brand name and that the 3DS family of systems has gotten significantly cheaper over the years? I'd say there'll be a good amount.

Some might also want a pallet cleanser for all the bullshit they had to put up with in Go.

>>29296007
Of course! It did already. Read how much 3ds and Pokemon XYORAS was sold after hype.

>>29296007
Not much, they would have to actually pay for it, tgey will go back to making fun of ppl who play it

Any time a normalshit asks me if they'd like SM because they played Go, I tell them no and make them fuck off. The series is already going downhill fast enough.

1. I work in Playground and kids are talking abot ALL the time.
2. They have no idea there is more than 149 pokemon. When I showed them my 2ds with X pokedex they were all like WTF FAKE
3.They have no idea there is a different game.

>>29308213
What's the age of those kids? I though kids nowadays all used the internet. It's impossible to search for Pokémon and not find things beyond go.

Also the anime is still being aired.

>>29308513
4-10.
Kids use internet, but facebook only.

>>29308672
>4 year old kids use facebook
For what purpose?

But yes, I can believe kids that young wouldn't know anything beyond go given they were introduced to Pokémon by it and some of them barely know how to read.

Probably not. Most of people who play pokemon Go are just follow the trend and only own smartphone. I doubt they even know about any main games, let alone the unrealeased one. For them the yellow electric rat's name is Pikachu. Most they would know about pokemon is as an anime, not game.
