>Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon have become the fastest-selling games that Nintendo has ever launched in the Americas, the company announced today. The two titles have collectively sold 3.7 million units in under two weeks.

>Pokemon Sun/Moon experienced an 85 percent increase over Poekmon X/Y. Previously, X/Y held the records as Nintendo’s fastest-selling games during the same period.

>3.5 million in North America, fastest ever for Nintendo in the region, and fastest-selling exclusive in North American history
>1.5 million in Europe, fastest for Nintendo in that region
>2 million in Japan

So much for the people that said S&M would bomb.

Only retards thought SM would bomb. ORAS outsold FRLG and HGSS, that was enough of a sign what people think about newer geneartions

All this means is even more gen 1 pandering forever

They're going to take this as a sign for more gen 1 pandering.
And they were dissapointed in B&W's sales if I recall.
I doubt we'll see a gen with 100% or even anywhere near 100% new Pokemon for a long time.

That's likely going to happen no matter what, fuckwad.

Gen 6 and 7 had a small percentage of new pokemon because GF doesn't want to reach 1000 pokemon so soon.
>>
>>30408593
Jesus Christ you antigen1s are fucking pathetic. Meanwhile back in reality SuMo have abandoned caves, puzzles, and broad routes with branching paths in favor of the most linear and cutscene heavy shit yet. The series couldn't be farther from gen1 without breaking into a new fucking genre. You have what you want but it's never enough for your entitled whiny bitch ass is it?
>>
>>30407691
You do realise that several million people still play GO actively right?

Jesus.
Genwunners sure do get triggered quickly.

In any case he's referring to the fact that Gen 1 mon tend to dominate new features and mechanics leaving everything in the dust. Just look at Alolan Forms. It's just gen one pokemon and nothing else.

It's not about being opposed to generation one, I don't think anyone ever has been, it's about how this favoritism is essentially putting a damper on progression and variety. It's the same way people don't like Lucario pandering either.
>>
>>30408654
I meant gen one pandering as in "Theres going to be even more gen 1 pokemon around"
Im fine with gen 1 and gen 1 pokemon but not when they outnumber the new ones.

Come again? Being triggered into hostility isn't the same as "i-i'm in tears, literally shaking!" safe space bullshit.

You fucks need to get over gen1 pokemon being in games. GF has gone forward with establishing a good chunk of them as common species through the world, with rare exceptions existing regionally. There is nothing wrong with it. Finish crying your river of "m-muh genwunners ruin muh life!" tears, build a fucking bridge, and get over it.
>>
>>30408654
I honestly like that. What I don't like is the absolute dog shit that is sun and moon post game. How the fuck am I supposed to level up and ev train without fucking myself over and over in the battle tree/battle royale with non trained little shits just to get started on doing that stuff? Fuck festival shit that shita terrible. Also
>INJECT
Fuck that shit I like breeding and training. It's mindless fun for me as long as I get somewhere.
>>
>>30408654
I'd rather lose that then see the same 150 mons be recolored and typed over and over especially since that shit hasn't been a particularly big part of the series.
Hell I can only think of about three routes with branching paths that lead into different areas oftentimes the paths would just be a shortcut to cut out trainers.

It's pretty disappointing gen 1 mons lack that kind of personality

But anon, you not wanting them to break away from gen 1 is you whining about your safe space.
>>
>>30408753
Turns out you don't need to throw up 80 garbage designs and 30 good ones to make a gen good if you focus on actual gameplay and story
>>
>>30409022
Your first mistake is assuming what I personally want from that post.

I like SuMo :)

All of it.

Nothing wrong with its gen1 mons.

Nothing wrong with changing up the narrative structure/series staple world progression.
>>
>>30409106
Anon. You've been complaining because people said gen 1 shouldn't take the spotlight and essentially shunning any other view or opinion.

And it's no wonder you like SM, it's essentially an expansion to gen 1.

>Nothing wrong with changing up the narrative structure/series staple world progression.
Then why are you opposed to it?

Except it plays nothing like gen 1 at all. It keeps some of the pokemon. You're retarded.

See? Retarded.

It kind of does.
Gen 1 didn't really have any puzzles in caves or intersecting routes the only ones that do exist are in places like silph and the GC. They didn't come in properly until 2 and 3.
There weren't many areas to explore either.

In fact the only real difference is the cutscenes, everything else is as basic as Gen 1.

For someone that likes them both you sure didn't pick up on the similarities.

There were bunch of strength puzzles in gen1

It can't play like gen1 for two reasons
You don't beat gym leaders
Gen1 wasn't driven by a story, it was a game just about your adventure. That's also why it's possible to skip over gyms in gen1
>>
Honestly, im ok with this. It didn't meet my expectations for an anniversary title, but i was still pleasently surprised. These games have added much more to the formula than XY did. Z-moves are less destructive than megas and trials-totems is a welcomed breath of fresh air. Sure gen1 pandering is still ridiculous and the removal of triple and rotation battles makes my blood boil but overall is a step in the right direction. I hope this teaches gf to keep innovating the formula and building on the succes of SM.

What are you talking about? They only existed in seafoam and to a lesser extent victory road.

Also trials are the gyms anon. The main difference is the name.

Dude, you need to go back and play RBY. Hell nearly all of the gyms were straight lines.

I'm not undermining PoGO's activity, anon. I know it was big, and it still isn't completely dead. I'm saying most of the people who play PoGO likely aren't going to buy SM.
PoGO helped, but it isn't THE reason for SM's good sales. If it was, then it wouldn't have affected only SM's sales. PoGO would've significantly increased the sales of other games too, especially ORAS' considering it was a Generation III remake, a fan favorite. Unless it did, and I'm just not aware of it.
>>
>>30406562
Why does Pokemon sell so bad in Europe, comparatively speaking?
>>
>>30410902
Go did increase the sales of both XY and ORAS at the height of its popularity by like 300%. In Japan it caused ORAS to return to top 30 chart for a couple of weeks.
>>
>>30411521
Europe doesn't buy anything from Nintendo.
>>
>>30411521
Also, remember that most places in Europe got the game one week later than the other countries.
>>
>next game is some weird region
>it bombs because there's no America pandering
>gen 9 is PokeTexas paired with a Unova remake where both games allow you to go to each other
>>
>>30411521

Europe is Nintendo's poorest major region in general. Why, I don't know, I don't live there, but it is.
