>New figures show that Pokemon Go has helped increase sales of 3DS Pokemon titles by more than 100% within the last week in the UK
>Preorders for Pokemon Sun and Moon have jumped, causing them to enter the Top 10 preorders on Amazon
But there's no way that Go normies would ever be interested in the main series, right guys??

Normies tend not to have 3DS to begin with.

Personally I'll wait to pre-order until they confirm some fucking damn collectible or some shit for the US pre-order like every other country.

If anything this is another excuse for GF to casualize the games even further. Don't forget the shitty excuse they gave for not including the Battle Froniter.

Keep in mind that this is the UK

They barely buy Nintendo stuff, so this percentage means nothing to them

Wii U sales increased by %300 back in 2014 but it meant nothing because the UK barely bought enough for that percentage to matter

>sceptical
Also, I'd say it's more condescending than skeptical.

Temporary or not, Game Freak will still benefit from the extra sales, and everyone who said Go wouldn't help sell more copies of the 3DS games is BTFO.

I wasn't fucking talking about the not having it, I'm talking about them saying they didn't include it because OF THE FUCKING MOBILE GAME AUDIENCE.

I'm OP and I'm 26, anon. I started with Red, picked Bulbasaur, traded cards with friends in the playground at school, regularly watched the TV show and begged my grandparents for the VHS release of the First Movie, at the height of Pokemania in the late 90s. I've probably been a fan since before you were even born. So don't lecture me about being a 'Game Freak apologist' or assume I must be a newgenner.

Can confirm. Got hooked on pokemon again because I couldn't play Go when it released and bought AS. Haven't pre-ordered Sun yet because I'm kinda broke but if I get the job I was interviewed for today I'll probably get both.

This, I haven't been happier about being wrong in my life, all I'm hoping is we don't have a resurgence of """"""funny""""""" genwunners shitting on the game because it isn't a replica, but I doubt that will be the case
