anyone else excited to see Pokemon's current popularity

At this point they could make the unquestionably perfect game, and you'd still complain like a little bitch.

I'm not convinced of that. Quality games don't necessarily lead to more sales.

Too bad they removed the emoji posting, you deserve the eyes rolling one

The first paired set of games in a new generation sells the most.

Paired sets of remakes sell less but still a lot.

Independent versions sell the least.

SM are on their way to becoming the best-selling games for the 3DS, despite how controversial they are.

It's almost all in the marketing.

Hello, Sinnohfetus. Pokemon is better now than it was through the DS' entire lifespan. You simply don't have the experience or objectivity to recognize it.

This is factually wrong. Everything between Platinum-B2W2 is better than all the 3DS games. I don't just mean for main games either I also mean spinoffs.
>Sinnohfetus
nah, Diamond and Pearl are the only games I didn't play when they first released. Gen 2 and 5 are my favorites.

>>32654203
They do though.
There's a reason Gens 5 sold like shit all around.
Even the merchandise failed.

No, it's "subjectively" wrong. As in, your nostalgia makes you prefer the (objectively) inferior DS games, such as Platinum and HGSS. In all objective regards, the DS games are inferior, and indeed DPPtHGSS are the nadir of the series in general.

153 million in profits says otherwise

Care, I've heard shit taste this acute may give you cancer.

This guy gets it. GF has learned many shitty marketing ploys that help with sales that will make sure they don't have to make a long lasting game again.
You could debate that making the games so short winded and lacking in post game is part of their marketing scheme, keeping people wanting more rather than satisfying them.

Truely, this is the worst timeline.

Console Pokemon is gonna sell shit loads

Popularity came crashing down?

Where? On boards? Pokemon is fucking making a ton of money rn, more than last year, more than three years ago, more than five years ago.
