Everyone was talking about how the dex cuts and this and that would be the final straws to break the Pokemon series

Now they're saying it's gen 9 that will TRULY convince people they secretly hated these games all along

Then after gen 9 is out we'll be discussing how actually it's gen 10 for real this time and...

I has a handful of friends who were all on board to pass up this game after it was leaked but they ended up buying it release day anyway.
When i asked them why they all said “It got good reviews.”

I don't own a Switch. I was going to buy one for Pokemon.
I've got Showdown to satisfy my battling needs and soon Temtem to satisfy my adventuring, catching and breeding needs.

well, the impossibility to transfer pokemon in rs almost killed it, so it was logical to think the game would had flop

I always knew a boycott was unrealistic, besides if nobody buys the games who can I make fun of?

GameFreak on suicide watch.

No, any amount of money last by boycotting makes a dent in their business.

These people EXPECT increase in sales by so much percentage a month.

SM had better digital sales than XY, and it was still less than 100k digital sales due to the 3DS's digital sales being abysmal.

Sword Shield had 679k digital on the first week already, so all SwSh number so far are a "this plus 700k from Digital" worst case scenario calculation, Even being pessismisic on the digital numbers it's still breathing down hard on the neck of the 3DS games.

Also the game's week-to-week drops have been smaller than previous gens, so it looks like it's legs were not affected by the controversy.

The games could have been the best selling of all time and /vp/ would still claim the boycott is a victory because they personally didn't buy it.

Why do they even call it a boycott? "I buy game I like, I don't buy game I don't like" isn't a boycott it's just how actual captalism works.

Data from Japan is irrelevant though. Their market cap is like 4 million

In North America the sales are under SM (that's why people are talking about revenue instead of units sold, marketing strategy)

No, they're talking about that because NPD Group only does revenue.

It's just bizarre how people on this board twist themselves into pretzels trying to pretend Sword/Shield are bombing. I didn't even buy the games myself, but I'm not following some on this board down that road of denial.

Is really hard to accept the fact that maybe your in the vocal minority in defending the games just as much as people that dislike the games and just keep denying the fact that the majority online on both sides said it would sell well?

even so I believe they will still surpass them regardless

Mistah merikku is not to be trusted on anything, but really the numbers are probably pretty good anyway. Everyone familiar with pokemon fandom knew boycott won't actually work, but at least the blood of our beloved franchise won't be on our hands, we did all we could, so when everything goes down the shitter in the next games it's not us to blame, but gf and people who defended them and bought the games anyway.

>>41977665
And what did they think of the actual game after they played it?

No one has ever said that, if anything most people are expecting gen 9 to be better to prevent the negative press.
