>>45168108>reviving the franchise after being a walking corpse since Gen3Anon, it may have re-ignited western interest, but it was still selling fuckloads of merch in Japan (and continues to do so, mind) Shit, even the last 4 years prove that, GO took in $4 billion, the games $1.8 billion, the rest (the vast majority of which is merch) took in $4.8 billion.
GO did nothing but get western adults back giving money to the franchise.
