>>45691643>>45691678>LGPE flopped. As of September 30th, Nintendo lists LGPE as having sold 12.49 million copies - more than FRLG (~12 million), almost as much as HGSS (12.72 million) and the 7th best selling Switch game of all time (with Sw/Sh as the 5th-best selling).
>>45692879LGPE has far outsold all the upper versions (Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, B2W2 and USUM) - USUM sold the most of all the upper versions at 8.89 million copies. As mentioned above, as of September 30th, it has outside FRLG, and sold almost as many copies as HGSS, so it's sold pretty much on track with other remakes.

>>45696604If you're saying that SwSh flopped because Pokémon is the biggest media franchise but isn't the best-selling game of all time, then yeah, I guess it flopped. But if you look at the perspective that it was somewhat barebones, had a relatively short development time and only came out last year, but did as well as it did, it was a roaring success.
