>some of the lowest sales in a mainline Pokemon game since

They sold as much as XY or more wtf is wrong with you

>>32766362
Casual players that only need one Pokemon game for each system. Go and look at sales for all main game titles. The best selling ones are always the first for that console, anything that comes later sells worse.

Huh? It's sold about 90% of what XY did in a quarter of the time, and it's already sold more than ORAS.

(You)r existence, pokebarneyfag

>>32766362
Nice bait. Sun and Moon was a complete success, more so than XY.

>>32766362
I don't even like SM and even I know that this is a lie.

Best selling games since D/P

>>32766362
For starters, you didn't posted your tits yet, pokebarneyfag, stop paid shilling and do your job.

You're talking shit, mate. Remakes sell even worse, and all of the games are still in the top games sold for their systems, none of them have ever flopped or "went horribly, horribly wrong" from a sales perspective.

Actually, SM sold 15kk in 4 months while xy did 16 kk in over 3 years, so what you said is only the case to the DS gen, this one will probably have it reversed (it probably already happened but the online numbers we got are from late march).

No wonder everybody considers it the best game in the entire series, it became a best-seller too.

>>32766562
>everybody
no

>TPCI profits went up 2600% last year
Pokebarneyfag on suicide watch

>>32766572
He's right tho, pokebarneyfag/crimsoncuntie.

You don't count since you're paid to make those threads and never played a game, Go doesn't count.

SM were considered the best games in the series by everybody who played it. No wonder its the fastest selling and a giga-hit.

>>32766362
You're absolutely autistic. SM was imo one of the best in the series. Just fuck right off (you) sack of smelly dicks

>>32766362

Lack of new Pokémon and terrible alternative forms.

>>32766362
It's terribly rushed and if you take an objective look at it, it's obvious how rushed it is.
What's worse is selling USUM after it was such a rushed mess. It's pretty much saying
>hey now that you've bought our rushed, shit product you can buy the better version a year later

And inb4 >third versions, they all stand up on their own as being good games and each asides Crystal came out two years after their first version.

The only way they can redeem themselves is having a BW2-tier game and we all know that's not going to happen.

>Buoyed by the huge popularity of GO and the record-breaking sales of Sun/Moon, The Pokémon Company saw a staggering 2,600% increase in its profits in 2016; its $400 million in profits alone being almost as much as Nintendo's whole company profits

"Alternative facts."

Wow there are a lot of shills on /vp/ now. So many people are desperate to defend Sun and Moon.

>>32766362

>lies
>now that le dust settled ebin meem
>Su/Mo w..where b..bad g..guys..!

go back to /v/, your shit doesn't work here.

S/m is Nearing X/Y sales and it hasn't been out fora full year

>>32767411

>It's "shilling" to state the objective fact that Pokémon Sun and Moon were not a poor-selling financial flop; they're literally on pace to be the best-selling game in the 3DS's entire lifespan

>>32766362
they jumped the linearity handholding shark, same thing that happened to skyward sword. Given they realized their mistake in time to correct it in BOTW, gen 8 has some hope

Why do people tell obvious lies?

No hyper flying

>>32767440
Pokemon has always been linear, unlike Zelda. Non-linearity does not work for every style of game.

>>32766362
SM actually had the second highest first week sales of any pokemon game ever, so take your le ebin meme somewhere else.

If they didn't sell well I'm assuming it is because they didn't look like very good games. They looked very underwhelming.

>>32767411

>"wow,,, sad......... So many have, sold out. I truly am the wisest person on the planet" *bows head sagely*
Kill yourself unironically

>>32767518
I agree, but I'm referring to linearity relative to each franchise. Pokemon has always had a degree of linearity, but imo sun and moon took it to a more guided extreme

>>32767440
BW was a literal circle.

>>32767532
You're honestly just wrong. There are opinions, and then there's being wrong. They didn't, you just want to find something to hate about it.

>>32767532
I feel like its been practically the same across a majority of the gens and any differences are minor on average.

pokemon is a boring game and they literally never change its outdated formula and its characters are lifeless handholding husks that make you want to put the game down.

but most importantly pokemon is a boring game.

Almost already passed XY with only a few months on the market. When Sun/Moon finally stop selling in a few years, they'll likely be the best-selling games since Gold/Silver.

>>32768366
Not if Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon make them irrelevant to anyone who didn't buy them in the first year

>>32768374
The first year sales alone will put them in Diamond/Pearl territory retard.

>>32766362

Are you implying B/W sold less than usual because it was bad? Because that's horseshit; it's one of the most critically acclaimed. It was the all the new stuff they tried that scared off the purists.

>>32768366
Reminder that XY sold about 12 million in the same timeframe SM sold that 15.44 million

Go saved this franchise from its continual decline.

>>32768374
They'll get a price drop when USM come out, so they'll continue to sell for a while by merit of being cheap.

You're just as annoying or perhaps even more than Pokebarneyfag is, kill yourselves.

If there is no game next year.

USM

Sun and moon sales will be fine. They will get a holiday without mainline Pokemon.

Epsically with bundles and stuff. As the 3ds last adventure

Actually its a Oval with a string running down the middle, but so what?
Kanto is a square, Johto is a fat T only Hoenn and Sinnoh are varied. Kalos is another oval and Alola is a constellation.

>Gen 8 introduces breakable pokemon, vast fields of nothing, less music everywhere, even more repetitive tasks/gyms/shrines and you have to find 2000 Zygarde cells
Someone would defend this

>>32767532
As someone who frequently replays and nuzlockes most generations, you're just wrong.
More cutscenes, sure, but barely any extra "being dragged around by NPCs" and definitely not any more linear. Maybe you feel that way because you go between island linearly

>SM is already on its way to outselling BW
WEW

>>32768366

aren't we supposed treat sm and usm as the one game? because this is still gen 7 and to be honest they just had to re use models and re map region since the base for the game was ready long time ago...

>>32768357

gen4 sold 37, 97 mlns
gen 5 sold 24,1 mlns
gen 6 sold 29,8 mlns [oras is gen 6 too]
gen 7 will sell over almost 30mlns

>>32771466
Well gen 5 never had remakes and gen 6 never had a 3rd game.


Gen 4 had both

>>32771466

it's all thanks to the third versions/remakes, with small effort they have made more moneys

[ gen 6 = 1 152 000 000$ I'm too lazy to count the rest]

and this is so fucking unfair, I want

I want them use these moneys to make really good games on switch, or just more good spin offs
