What we need to all be clear about is:
Pokemon will always sell well.
Doesn't mean the content is good.

Pokemon will always get a free pass because it's s gaming juggernaut

>people think Gen 8 will sell worse than LGPE just because "it doesn't pander to the ultra-casuals that LGPE brought in" when Japan is absolutely fucking dying for an actually new Pokemon game with new a decent amount of new Pokemon to capture in a brand new region with a brand new story, and Japan alone can make up for under-performance elsewhere
>people think Gen 8 won't be chock full of Kanto and Detective Pikachu Pandering in an attempt to keep a hold on the normalfag audience anyways since a "hardcore game" does not explicitly imply "there won't be Kanto Pandering"

Gen 8 is just gonna be Gen 7: Electric Boogaloo
The whole game is now a full visual novel, with 5 minutes of gameplay dispersed inbetween chapters, entire cast of characters are entirely waifubait with one bara and one prettyboy to entice the gays

Of course it will sell billions, but Game Freak can't take it easy like they have since 2013.

People really don't think it will flop? I learned not to expect anything else with gen 7, and since LGPE were disappointing but not surprising, I really don't see how the last games aren't also the last straw for most people.

If LGPE sold this well, there is no way Gen8 will flop.. Not even with James Hack Turner as Art Director. Most designs will be shit, like Bruxish (the gen7 pink fish) or Vanilluxe, but it will sell like hot cakes.

Not a flop, but not a success either. Nintendo dropping their 20 million hardware goal to 17 million shows as much.
They were probably expecting to convince more GO phonefags to buy a Switch.

If the Switch Mini rumors are true, all Nintendo has to do is to add a 3DS/DS slot somewhere in that new mini Switch and that will force 3DS/2DS players to adopt the Switch even if the new Pokemon games are as awful as SM and XY.

Also gonna need a citation buddy.
Sun/Moon sold over 7 million in the first week, LGPE did 3 million. It was the fastest selling game on switch, until smash came along and sold 12 million in less than a month.

I have no doubt LGPE was extremely profitable, but the evidence suggests it didn't meet Nintendo's expectations.
