SwSh was
>on the switch (the first main series game to have the novelty of being playable on a big screen)
>the first Pokémon game to have DLC to boost sales, compare that to GS which only got Crystal which actively cannibalized sales from the originals since third version sales don’t count for some reason
>bolstered by Pokémon Go’s recent success
>in an eras where the internet is much bigger allowing for viral marketing
>in an era were video games have a much wider audience due to no longer being considered “niche” or “only for children”
>Covid forcing people to stay inside and some people even getting free disposable income
>over 20 years to build up a fanbase who will buy anything with the Pokémon name
SwSh outselling GS (not even GSC just GS) was inevitable because GS had none of those advantages. Instead of bragging about SwSh beating a game on a dead handheld, how about comparing SwSh it to other switch games.

Someone buying DLC doesn't increase SwSh's sales total. Don't be purposefully disingenuous, you know this full well without me telling you.

not really, Pokemonia was already on the decline by the time GS came out. That also doesn't explain all the other advantages SwSh had

>>49546103
The existence of DLC incentivizes people to by the base game, even the people who like SwSh said that it was because it was carried by the DLC

You can't play DLC without the base game, so ironically it does include DLC sales.

Read again, DLC is literally unplayable without the base game, so it's included in the grand total of base game sales.

For almost 25 years, this was true. In many ways, it always will be. But everything ends.

How hard is it to understand there's a solid number for many copies Crystal sold, but no one besides Nintendo/Game Freak has a clue how many people purchased the Sword and Shield DLC? You people are arguing over a number that exists and is widely available vs. a number no one in this thread is sure of.

Honestly if you just put XY on the bottom is basically a good ranking of all the Pokemon games.

I remember the pokemon of that game so clearly
Flaffy, Eevees, Sychter, Militank, Steelix, etc. Iconic moments and fights.
What pokes do I remember from SWSH? What fights do I remember? no idea. Some guy wearing no pants gigantimaxd his dick or something. Can't think of any pokemon or battle that gave me a hard time or made a memorable impression.

Johto will always be an experience. Whether you played it for the first time on a Game Boy Color, played through the greatest remakes of all time on a DS, or either revisited it, or played the original Gen 2 games for the first time via the 3DS's VC, or hell, even if you pirated it and used an emulator, or wanted to change up the Johto experience with hacks and stuff.
Galar will never have that feeling of discovery because it's just "le british kanto theme park"

Pokemon is a billion dollar gigantamaxxed brand and the games are just but one of their sales products. You could argue it's "the main one" but... pokemon go makes like billions of dollars.
Better to produce rushed video games every year, cuz profit margins are probably much slimmer on them too.
There's just no incentive to produce good games.
You don't buy Pokemon cuz you wanna play a good game. You buy Pokemon cuz you want Pokemon.
Why risk spending 5 years trying to create a Skyrim/Minecraft/Dark Souls level Pokemon game, when you can just sell a basic ass 20-30hr video game every year?
