The Gen 8 region is going to be called KANTOOOOOOOO, not to be confused with Kanto.

They'll probably be the worst selling mainline games of all time. They're on the worst selling system for a mainline game ever. And they're a remake, no remake has ever sold more than any gen starting game, and they're a remake of a gen that's already been remade, and they're the most expensive mainline game ever. I expect them only sell 3-4 million, maybe 5.

Yes they are. They were made by Gamefreak and Masuda and Ishihara have called them mainline games.

Has there ever been a console Pokemon game with more than simply "respectable" sales outside of maybe Stadium? Battle Revolution came out on the FUCKING WII and still could barely muster a million, and PLG's release date is too close to Smash for comfort.

Only mainline games have the Pocket Monsters title while spinoffs are named Pokemon. LGPE has Pocket Monsters in the title.

17.79 million is still less than a third of the total 3DS sales. I'm certain it will still be a financial success, but it won't touch the mainline games.

Jokes aside, I think it will be a region between Kanto and Sinnoh for Gen 8. That puts it close enough to these areas to include a lot of gen 1-4 mons, while being separate enough to hide some new mons.
The portion of real-world Japan that would represent was the area hardest hit by the big Tsunami, so they could work some tasteful references to disaster relief and rebuilding in there.

That's not even a remote concern. Smash Bros is going to have over 100 stages, 80+ playable characters, and around 900 tracks in-game.

LGPE has as many features as a Gameboy game with graphics on par with the Wii. I mean, it's cool that they made a Pokemon game for my toddler, but If I'm going to be paying the same price for either game, I'll take the one that's worth the price of admission.

These games are coming too late into gen 8's development to effect those titles in any way.

I'm expecting it to basically be sun and moon but in a different region.
It's easy to make promises like "no no, this next game is definitely going to be for the true and honest fans of the series"only to turn around at the end and say "Well obviously children are the true and honest fans of the series so we needed to appeal to a younger audience with this one".
I cannot imagine Game Freak suddenly pulling a 180 out of nowhere just tomake a good game when for YEARS they've shown that they're more inclined to produce mediocrity and bank on the consumers just not knowing any better.

SM were at least actual Pokemon games, this is a fucking GO mod update

Gen 8 is probably going to be compatible with this shitshow, which really doesn't bode well.

Even the worst selling Smash game has sold more than the best selling console Pokemon game.
