>>45188365>XY literally only sold well because it was the jump to 3D for the mainline series.Let's be honest, it was always going to sell "well" because it's fucking Pokemon
Black/White is the "least" selling mainline game by only around 500k copies (15.5 million copies in the end, to put into perspective how fucking bloated this franchise is) and it was the 2nd game to be released on a dying system
But considering how lots of people bought SwSh because of the prospect of the first mainline game on a home console, I can still believe this to an extent
