>>16401509Ruby and Saphire are the 4th most sold games in the franchise, only beaten by the first two generations and D/P.
The first two generations obviously outsold it because they came out in the hight of pokemon popularity.
Diamond and Pearl were on third place, but as many of you might remember, these games had a massive, before unheard of backlash within the franchise and are to this day the maingames with the most negative response ever. hence why Platin got released so quickly after they came out. damage control.
