Except that doesn't last forever, and SwSh being a sales flop proves that.

It's amusing to see how Pokemon Go completely destroyed the series. Pokemon Go successfully replaced the hardcore fans with people that have no standards, and want no content. That's the thing, people don't even care about content anymore. Pokemon has become a social experience, not that much of a game. They could add an auto battle feature and they'd still like it. Pokemon is dead, and it's all thanks to Go.

Yeah dude it was totally Pokemon GO not Gamefreak's incompetence or Nintendo's greediness it was definitely Pokemon GO. I almost forgot 90% of the Swooshie sales are from normies who play GO. Sources? Who needs them?
Stupid Pokemon GO killing the franchise just like Fire Emblem Heroes killed FE and Super Mario Run killed Mario :'(

GO and GameFreak's incompetence both wouldn't have happened if not for Pokemania burying a big enough nostalgia boner in people for GO to take off when it did and Pokemania giving GameFreak a state of complacency in that they don't need to improve because "it'll sell anyway thanks to brand recognition and loyalists."

Nah, Go undeniably influxed a bunch of morons into the series. Masuda even credited smart phones as to why they cut battle frontier

Mario Run was a failure and the newest FE game's success has been attributed more to Koei Tecmo than Intelligent Systems

>selling at a slower rate than SM
>on track to maybe pass LGPE
How is that not a flop? Because it's the fastest selling Switch game?
>it won the special olympics guys, that means it could win the real ones
A year from now when SS have barely hit 11M sold it will be apparent that less effort = worst selling games of all time.

I want to hope that's true, but Christmas is coming around the corner.
Also I'd only consider LGPE as the better comparison, since the Switch is fairly new compared to the 3DS when SM launched.

SM's high sales are due to Pokemon Go reigniting the Pokemon fire at the time. Meanwhile Sword/Shield have already outsold XY and are on pace to hit that 15 million quota with Christmas coming up. I don't like it either but that's the honest truth. This franchise is a fucking joke.

People are also forgetting to factor in the common masses that will be scooping up copies of Sword and Shield during their Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping sprees even if they won't actually be part of any discounts, which also played a huge part in SM's own sales.

XY sold 16.5M units over the course of their lifetime. I doubt we'll see SS be anywhere near that.

I'd say XY was the start of the downfall, it's when they stopped trying as hard and the kanto pandering reared its ugly head.
GO was what pushed it over the cliff into the abyss, though.
Once GO happened and nostalgia fucked all the normies in the ass there was no turning back.

I mean this COULD end up being gen 5 all over again but we can only see. BW had the biggest launch in the series but had legs to bad it's catapulted downward after the first few weeks into being the lowest mainline

Well at the very least expect the worst. This is a franchise that can cut as much content as humanly possible and still sell millions.

All because normalfags can't handle not having pikachu or charizard in the game, even if you could transfer your old mons in the post game.
Hell, I bet they didn't even make it that far and wouldn't have even known you could transfer them.

You just know this will be in gen 9, maybe sooner
