Somewhere between those two.
It literally can't become the best-selling game in the franchise because there are not enough Switches yet.
It will probably sell less than B2/W2 too, but I don't think it will get garbage reviews. Review sites will love it simply because it's a Pokemon game on the switch.

Even if LGPE does fail, Musada isn't getting fired over a """"""""mainline"""""""" game not selling well. Not only that, Nintendo in general are the types of people to think any good feature, like following Pokemon, or anything with potential, like Co-op, were bad and will remove them in the next games or cancel the series altogether.

The game is too intimidating for the modern young people and can't compete with their phone games. Clearly the series has to be made even more accessible.

Paper Mario.
All people want is for the series to go back to the roots and for Nintendo to givee us another TTYD, but they keep trying to force shitty paper gimmicks into these games and make up their own reasons for why the new paper mario games don't sell that well.

A lot of paper marios problems later down the line was from intelligent systems not knowing what to do with the series, originally sticker star was just copy and pasted TTYD to the point of madden/call of duty copy paste. It was the closest they could think of and even then having the same game over again isn't good nor did they think it was good. This continued until they basically got to point of just working from the ground up on something small and simple which was sticker star and that game sold well enough to justify continuing the series from it.

this is a bit of a misconception. which is to say, this is a bit of an untruth. we actually have footage/screenshots of pre-stickerstar and it's entirely distinct from TTYD. miyamoto is just a fucking idiot.

Neither, we're in this timeline:
>Pokemon LGPE sells decently, notably significantly less than the 3DS games but not awfully enough to be considered a flop
>GF uses the fact that they included things like following Pokemon, ridable Pokemon, and other features in LGPE as a half-assed justification for not including them in the Gen 8 games
>The Gen 8 games are just as lackluster as XY and SM were, but they seem a little better in contrast to LGPE, are received well and sell well despite only being good in juxtaposition with LGPE

Your condescending indifference is the reason Masuda can make these types of games . If you really want something to change, then you should be proactive in it. Look at Metroid, Look at Smash Bros. Even a literal who game like Earthbound has had some accknolwegement due to fan involvement.

There's really no telling what the reviews will be like. While firstly games reviewers can't gauge a well-designed pokemon experience from a badly designed one, secondly I think they'll focus on controversy for this one since it's already quite apparent. They know there's already contention about the simplification and the visuals, so they might actually address them for once.
