Isn't it funny how SwSh the games with Galar, "the strongest region" STILL haven't outsold GS, the games with Johto, the region zoomers shit on because "muh shitmons" and "muh level curve"). I don't know it's just funny to me

Don't you get tired of moving the goalpost, /vp/? It's literally the best-selling Pokémon game in the post-Game Boy era. Take the L with some dignity.

If Wwe count the SwSh DLC then we would have to add Crystal to Gold and Silver since 3rd versions were the equivalent to DLC
Also, if we count inflation for the cost then we have to count inflation for the sales meaning that the older games old even better than what the graph suggests.

They only measure sales for the first couple or so years. Cope and take the L SwShies, it builds character.

Also if being $60 deterred people from being SwSh (despite the Switch being relative new for a home console) that means that the games are overpriced for what they are, which counts as a flaw against SwSh.

>$47.41 retail price X 23.1 X 10^6 + ($47.41 X 6 X 10^6 =1,38 billion revenue
>$60 X 21.1 X 10^6 = 1,26 billion revenue
1.38 - 1, 26 = 113 million
(113 X 10^6)/$30 = 3 787 700
If we assume that 4 million people bought the DLC, then SwSh would have the same revenue. Gold and Silver numbers are wonky so it might have made less money.

This measure amount of units, revenue is irrelevant

Though your point about DLC is correct and is one of the things SwSh did correctly. Having DLC that cost 1/2 of the original is objectively better than making the third version a year later that makes the original obsolete.

>Pokemon Go putting Pokemon in the public eye
>Pokemon Let's Go to introduce casuals to the Pokemon games
>The novelty of being the first generation to debut on a Home Console
>A culture shift where adults playing videogames is much more common,
>A pandemic that forced people to stay home to play videogames and disposable income via COVID checks to buy them
>The ability to use KANTOOO to cash in on nostalgia
>DLC that boosted the sales of units (other games had third versions that actively reduced sales of the originals)
SwSh did well, but not well enough for SwShfans to unironically use sales to justify shitting on earlier gens, especially not ones that sold more than SwSh.

the cut announcement broke this board. Thanks to that there was a huge reddit and trannyera influx on this board and now this whole board went to shit. It's not even gf, because people could just be like yeah no let's talk about older games. No it's the whole redittor fans. Posting genwar shit, that should be deleted on sight and crying at everything little because a AA dev doesn't do something in 2-3 years what AAA devs do in 5-6 years.

“Zoomers” are a shitty bogeyman, just like boomers. Most people still know Gen 1 the most, and nobody who likes SwSh is delusional enough to think it’ll outsell Gen 1. Fuck me we could have a magnum opus masterpiece for Gen 9 and it still won’t outsell Gen 1.

Gen 1 is pretty much untouchable, but I was referring to Gen II. Around the time, SwSh was announced several twitter people randomly started shitting on Gen II for no real reason. "Zoomer" was definitely the wrong word since it isn't really a generational thing and the whole Gen II hate train probably started with Merrick.
