The chances of Brilliant Diamond and Shiny Pearl selling well over the usual 14-16 million copies are through the fucking roof. Half of the people on here "boycotting" the game are, and I mean this sincerely, going to buy the games anyways.
This is unfortunately the reality we're facing. Game Freak doesn't care about appealing to hardcore fans, or care about putting effort into the games anymore because they know it'll sell like flies on shit purely because they have a monopoly on the monster collecting genre.

How will you be coping with the fact that one of your favorite video game franchises died while everyone defended its decline?
