Why is it flopping so hard?

>>33234906
Because the game comes out in 3 months and they've literally revealed nothing about the game

>>33234906
Wait, what do you mean by flopping? Preorder numbers or what?

>>33235057

It's Pokemon

All you have to do is announce its existence and a release date and people will buy it

>>33234906
I don't think it reaches such extremes
Sells a little more than emerald and platinum

>Emerald Version 6.41m
>Platinum Version 7.72m

How many times are you going to make this thread?

>>33235606
A flop is when you know a game is shit and people are still buying it, but will realize that they are garbage. It happens to every single franchise and Pokémon is bound to get it

>>33235633
that is not what a flop is.

No, a flop is when a game doesn't make more money than what went into making it, are you retarded? how many times are you going to make this thread?

>>33235057
Black and White 2 didn't reveal news till 2 months out.

we can see if the game is flopping in japan when they open pre orders. COMG is huge retailer who updates there pre orders every day in points. we can compare USM to previous 3rd version games. when they open for pre orders but right now pokken is definitely flopping in 62 days it did 10pts

A flop is when a something loses money you humongous retard.

No Pokemon game has ever flopped. Why the fuck would this one? You faggots said the same thing about XY, ORAS and SM and yet they still sold 10+ million copies.

It has Pokemon in its title, it's a worldwide success.

>>33235633
Isn't that a zombie franchise, not a flop?

40$ beta being released while a game coming out complete the very next year would piss anyone off. It's not that hard to realize.

>>33237180
as true as that is, the games are by no means flopping, nor will flop when released
>japs are eating this all up no problem

>>33237192
Fair enough. But didn't Dusk Lycanroc piss even them off?

>>33237199
Why the fuck would they be pissed off?

>>33237208
I dunno, I think they were expecting something more?

>>33237199
I don't know, neither places are a true source to base a coherent opinion off of

>twitter comments are full of praise for the carrotwolf with the occasional stray "i wanted more design changes". No comments are indicating an outrage though
>2ch or whatever forums seem to be less accepting of the carrotwolf
But how much of that is the actual japanese fanbase?
