>>56342473Black and White did not sell poorly. Diamond/Pearl sold 17,670,000 units, Platinum another 7,600,000, for a combined total of 25,270,000 units, while Black and White Sold 15,640,000 units and Black 2/White 2 another 8,520,000, for a total of 24,160,000 units. That's within a roughly one million unit window, which is substantially better than the jump between previous generations. Gen 2 sold 15 million units less than Gen 1, while Gen 3 sold 6,840,000 units less than Gen 2. By the time Gen 5 was finished, Gen 4 was the only entry where sales had gone up, which is likely due to the popularity of the DS. So, no, Gen 5 did not sell poorly.
