A couple sites saying that S&M sold 1.9mil first day while XY sold 2.1, citing nintendo. Is this a lie or are day 1 sales just not indicative of a release's overall success?

That was just Japan (and it's 1.9 VS 2.04, not 2.1), and doesn't include digital downloads.

Are you saying that everyone who bought the game pirated it beforehand to reaffirm whether they truly wanted the game or not? So you're saying everyone who has the game is genuinely satisfied and that not one person regrets spending about 40 dollars on a half-baked game?

...what? are you serious anon?
how far are you through the game?
I kinda thought the same way, back on the first island...
But fuck that- this game is WAY better for IVs / EVs than gen VI was.... and I fucking LOVE gen VI + ORAS, unlike most here, so...
The IV checker, alone, makes it miles better, not counting everything else.

Common salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite. Salt is present in vast quantities in butthurt shitposters, where it is the main mineral constituent.

Actually depends on your source.

Famitsu says X/Y's launch sold very slightly better than Sun/Moon in Japan, while Media Create says Sun/Moon sold better than X/Y in their respective first weeks in that country.

Media Create is generally seen as the more reliable source, but either way, their numbers are pretty even. Also, Sun/Moon is, in its first three days alone, already the #1-selling game in Japan in 2016, and it's not even close.

Regardless, Japan is but one country. Sun/Moon are killing the other 3DS Pokémon games in North America and Europe.

Are there really people who genuinely expect mainline Pokemon games to flop? Even if you hate everything they announce its almost inevitable it'll smash sales records in some way because its fucking Pokemon.

Oh yeah it's real fucking fun playing type matchup quizzes. Kill yourself, they didn't have to add this convoluted trash in they could've just kept hordes and made bottle caps not total shit. Good job giving people an incentive to hack even more.

Literally the only downside to bottlecaps as they are is that you can't have a perfect ditto for braindead breeding.

But honestly, do you need it? Now you can just breed for the right nature and ability. And HP, but not every pokemon will run that. Once you get the nature and ability you want, barring needing egg moves, level it to 100 and hyper train. A perfect ditto isn't necessary anymore.

You have to grind to level 100 with no Blissey bases or rotation restaurants.

Which makes it hard to determine if a Pokemon game is actually as good as its sales make it out to be or if people are buying it up just because it's fucking Pokemon. Thus sales obviously do not equal quality.
