Core pairs/remakes sell 13-16m copies, 3rd games sell 7-8m copies. 3rd games lack new Pkmn and they don't have an old region that is fresh to young players like remakes. The key selling point of 3rd games is battle facility(s). If there is no PWT or BF in USUM, they will lose 2m+ copies in sales. Is Masuda stupid enough to put tens of millions in profit down the toilet? Who knows...

Guess we'll find out Nov. 17th, or earlier if it leaks.
>best selling third version had no Battle Facility
>worst selling had either the first or the best depending on which sales numbers you trust, either way they're the worst selling pair

That was before Emerald. Yellow came during PokeMania. Crystal introduced the Battle Tower.
