Why was the last thread deleted? Also:

>could XY outsell RBG eventually?

If gamefreak planned their releases well, so new games didn't eat into XY's sales, I reckon they could come close. It would also make more people buy gen 6's next game as they'd have been waiting so long for it.

Seriously? Is that why?
Sales have a pretty big impact on when new games will be released though.

This is outdated. Probably why.

You can't compare all-time sales of these other generations with outdated and ongoing sales of XY and say, "XY a shit lol." Not saying you did, but others did and will.

A better comparison would be, "these other games sold this many units in their first 3 or 4 months, and XY has sold this many to date."

But that's the total per gen, right? III and IV had remakes contained within them, which is different enough from the new concurrent games to justify extra sales within the generation. If there was a Hoenn remake during V then perhaps the sales could be comparable, but as it is the numbers are skewed.

I posted this right before the last thread was nuked but I'll post it again.

Even if X/Y ends up not doing as well as D/P or even B/W, It's still right up with the latest Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto in sales.

No need for anyone to talk about how the franchise is dying.

Jokes aside, D/P both sold better and was better received by both reviewers and players.

If Nintendo is as desperate for cash as some reports make them out to be. (god damn did the WiiU flop) then skipping right to Sinnoh remakes makes way more sense.

D/P in a nutshell:

"Nothing new or exciting"

Of course there were some things for the die-hard fans, but for your average uncommitted consumer, gen 4 was basically "more of the same."

By far the most boring region, too, imo.

I think you're wrong about it being the most boring region. If you look at all of the elements, all of the areas, all of the cool shit in Sinnoh, it was a really great region. The issue was that fucking mountain. Having to traverse that same fucking mountain, what, six times? That made the region feel samey and repetitive. It was a decent region, but the order in which you were forced to approach it ruined everything.

the tileset was shitty + SUPER repetitive. thats unforgivable for a ds game with such a long production time. if all the fixes that were in platinum (varied tileset + more geographical variation, updated dex, better designed post-game) were in the base versions? people would have loved it or at least not hated it.

That's all legitimate. The tiles, models, and even the layouts were all very similar from town to town, route to route. And holy shit, the Pokémon variety was so horrifically bad. There was a lot of things going against the region.

I'm just saying the map itself had massive potential, which is why I look forward to the possibility of an eventual Sinnoh remake. Hopefully no time soon, but one day.

I should have said Hoenn fans. Not content with the time they had with their shitty generation, they want to inflict it on others, all the while forgetting that not only are NEW games retreading the same worn ground over and over, but remakes doubly so. And they don't care at all, as long as they get their precious babbie's first gen remakes. They are what holds the games back from progression.

Even the pokemon sprites were bad. Just look at gliscor.
