>>36723613To be fair, the only reason LGPE is even that high in Japan is because it's being shilled incredibly hard. Any and every popular Japanese youtuber has filmed with someone in a Pikachu or Eevee costume at least once. Some people even got to play the game early, one even got a behind the scenes look with Masuda. The official Japanese pokemon youtube channel keeps uploading all the different employees working at various pokecenters dancing to the "Eevee Song". There's even Eevee nuggies ffs.
Masuda is banking everything on LGPE being successful.
>>36724979Nomura really fucked the story up, also most fans are adults now and have lost interest in anime vidya bullshit crossed over with didney worl kiddyshit. Younger fans and newer people can't enter the series because it's stuck with its ridiculously convulted plot.
