POKEMON IS BACK YOU FUCKS

>>29492477
Sales =/= Quality.

>>29492477
If this is what we have to go through for it to back means I wish it were still dying like in Gen V.

>>29492496
Learn to read faggot, never said it was gonna be great.

>>29492477
Requesting sticky

>>29492577
Ok wtf. Did the sudden notion of Red and Blue being in the games made everyone jump on the bandwagon ?

>>29492496
Except this wil be the case with SM.
(contrarians and Gen 5 defenders will disagree with me)

>>29492577
Where is that from?

>>29492599
>Red and Blue being announced
>before October 11th

>>29492477
>shit being popular means it's the best

do you also think candy crush or pokemon go are the best games of all time?

>>29492599
No it was probably that Pokemon Go normalshit social media cancer fad that riled everyone up. You know, the people that claim that they loved Pokemon all their lives out of the blue just because it was popular now and they wanted to fit in?

>>29492609
Gen 5 is my favorite gen.
You are probably correct

>>29492534
Requesting pics of your moms tits

>>29492577
Barbie's still a thing?

>>29492683
I have no idea where they get these stats from considering my brother and all his friends only asked for phones/ipodtouch/ipads for christmas and don't give a shit about anything that's not on a touchscreen.

But then again they're not girls so fuck do I know.

>>29492683
Mattel's Barbie is a sales behemoth bigger than all of Hasbro. Its closest rival is My Little Pony, but it's nowhere near the same ammount of toys&merchandise sold.
Its why Hasbro tried its luck with Equestria Girls, to take part of the doll market with the MLP momentum. It didn't quite work.

>>29492683
Can confirm my three year old daughter loves Barbie's and Lego Duplos

God damn equestria girls was some cancer.

I secretly enjoyed MLP for the first couple of seasons before it got fucking weird and plotliney.

It's a shame such a good show was ruined by so much "IM A MAN AND I LIKE PONIES" circlejerk. I mean, PPG was a good cartoon too but it was the 90s so everyone just kept that shit confined to their living room instead of telling people about their new rainbow dash custom buttplug.

Reminder BW1 had the highest pre-order numbers in the series yet was the worst game in the franchise

>>29492882
Out of interest what age are you going to allow her to have some sort of tablet/ipodtouch/phone?

My nephew can barely walk and they already bought him one of those child-proof amazon tablet things which I think is kinda weird but hey maybe I'm just an old man.

Gen V cucks absolutely BTFO

>>29492496
No, but some people around here are acting like pokemon's popularity is dying or dead.

Yay! I'm glad. This franchise is still strong even after so many fucking years.

Wish Suikoden from Konami would have survived, loved the 108 Stars of Destiny concept and the world they're building.

>>29492496
Yeah, Gen 1 proved that, yet it gave the franchise its popularity. :^)

BW 1 were great games. Not as great as BW 2 or Platinum or Emerald, but better than any of the others released before and since.

>>29492953
>Suikoden
DON'T.

Don't remind me ;_;

>>29492616
from the looks of it adobe.

>>29492914
No, that's retarded he probably can't even use the thing, will end up just clicking randomly on it, fuck this generation

>>29492609
>he thinks SM will be quality
>he thinks BW was bad
LMAO

>>29492626
Jesus Christ can you even read, you autistic fuck?

It says Pokemon is back, not that Sun & Moon are going to be the best.

>>29493193
I'm sute the rest of the community agrees with you, right ? Oh wait, no they don't.

>>29492907
>worst game in the franchise

>>29492496
When you so called "true fans" are becoming the minority of your own subject, it means it's time to swallow some pride and reevaluate the situation.

>>29492477
Can't wait for all your tears in November when the game turns out to be a huge disappointment, can't fucking wait.

>>29492477
Not only did pokemon go bring back pokemon for the masses, it's the only 3ds game that's interesting this half of the year.
It's a Suicide Squad situation.

>>29492627
Oh no, people like that thing I like!
Now I need to find another less popular thing that somebody else created to express myself.

>>>/mu/ might be a good home

>>29492609
Actually, I think Gen 7 might top Gen 5 for me (save for the pokedex) but I'm waiting to play the game

>>29492599
Pokemon has bee marketing like crazy all year. You really didn't expect a jump in sales?

>>29494388
Shut it you sadistic fuck

>>29494388
The game could be a 12 out of 10 an vp/ will still pass it as the worst thing to ever exist.

>>29492477
pokemon never left you fuck

>>29492477
>pokemon was apparently not doing well at some point in time.

>>29494797
This

>>29495025
I think it was with Gen 5.

>>29494388
Happened with the last 3 gens, no reason anything would change now!

>>29495025
>>29495301

It was about generation 3. After the 2. generation, they hype was over and the Gameboy Advanced wasn't that popular. The Latias & Latios movie flopped hard because of this. Pokemon shined again with the new well selled Nintendo DS and that people who liked Pokemon as kid for the second generation came back after they got older.

>>29492477
Learn demographics retard, of course every game is going to have more sales if the population keeps growing.

>>29492577
>oculus hype is dying

Good riddens

>>29495025
>>29495301
This, look at the dropoff in sales between DP and BW. The series never recovered.

It'll be interesting to see how much SM sells considering it's pre-selling like crazy in North America and Europe but doing poorly compared to ORAS in Japan.

>>29495611
>never recovered

It's called series fatigue. It was the 4/5th release on the same system, a heavily pirated one at that

>>29495638
Yeah? And the series never recovered. XY and ORAS' sales reflect BW's, not the games before it.

>>29495664
XY and ORAS are the highest selling games on the 3ds though?

>>29492477
>3 million preorders initially
>2 million preorders cancelled with the datamine
>2 million preorders re-placed due to latest trailer
wow look at that, 5 million preorders :^)

>>29492477
>still won't sell more than DP
KEKEKEKEKEK

>>29495611
Games in general are underperforming a lot in Japan this year, with P5 being pretty much the only game not to but it still didn't do as well as hoped

>>29494797
>>29495265
This with the addition than the pokedex seems even better

No fucking monkeys

>>29495916
>P5 not underperforming
>didn't do as well as hoped
isn't that the same as underperforming though

Don't do that.

>>29493374

>>29496446
Hm, odd. I don't see anywhere in the OP where it says "the games are gonna be great!"

Was Megaman suddenly back when pic was released? Just getting a new game isn't enough for something to be "back" for me, the game has to be good.

>>29496617
>Pokemon is BACK!
uh anon

The most pirated games in history

>>29496644
>>29496681

I assume OP means "popular again"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>29496719
Pokémon became popular again with GO, this is not going to make as big a splash with normalfags as GO did.

I just want to play SM so much right now.

But as a European I'll be getting EXTRA cucked. getting the game late.

>>29492627
I don't think people got a 3DS just because of go

>>29492734
Are they millenials in their mid to late 20s? Because that's who's being marketed to.

>>29494388
The threads bitching in here are not a good qualifier. People bitch about the most stupid things here so whatever

>>29495831
Fuck off tripfag

>>29495664
>>29495611
What are you even talking about. The lowest selling Pokémon game is still a best seller.

>>29496719
Yep, that's what I meant. I don't know why so many people here lack basic reading comprehension, but I'm glad you at least got it.

>>29494388
/vp/ is gonna bitch and cry no mater what while the rest of the community enjoys the game, it's nothing new at all.

>>29492477
more like the most refunded game in november

>literally the only media board that thinks sales are a measure of quality

Man, I hope none of you have ever tried to argue that video games are an art form then.

Or do you all think that Adele is the greatest music artist of our time? That Avatar is a masterpiece of cinema? That Harry Potter is the finest literary creation ever?

Do you all think genwun is the best gen too? Do you think Wii Sports is the greatest video game ever conceived?

This board is full of the most shallow retards on the whole of 4chan, and boi is that saying something.

>>29497340
no, yokai is dead because pokemon killed it, and still dead.

>>29494388
Why are you here

>>29494388
enjoy your half.baked mess.
