>>53761348>When are people gonna realize that the sales numbers for current Pokemon games should not reveal an optimistic picture for the franchise?Educate yourself before you make retarded threads like this. Pokémon games largely exist to push merchandise. Mario games exist to sell.
It does not fucking matter how well the games do. What matters is that they and every other form of media exist to push merchandise which is where a bulk of the money comes from.
No I am not defending the shit quality of the games. I'm simply stating facts.
