Objectively tracking the popularity of the franchise using mainline games.

Pokemon GO is the only outlier as it was pretty important in reviving the franchsie.

didn't DP sell worse than gen 3 or am i misremembering that
gen 3/4 are the best but gen 7 is ok and gen 6 isn't that bad
depending on if we cound PLA as gen 8 then that's good too

Assume this is going off extremes? Gen V at the bottom is somewhat fair, but in the grand scheme it was still a success.

Sales aren't the only factor in the graph. It's more based on pop cultural influence and relevancy.

Is there an alternative universe in Pokemon, where the fairy type does not exist, the mega evolution does not exist, where the regional forms do not exist, and where the dynamax does not exist and the gigantamax does not exist?

Also you're forgetting that SwSh is still in print and still selling thousands by the week and by the end of the Switch life cycle there's a real possibility of it selling over 30 million copies.

Do you even into capitalism? If you aren't in a state of perpetual growth and expansion you're a dying franchise and Pokemon was by all indications prior to 2016, a dying franchise. Remember when people unironically though Yokai Watch was going to kill it completely?

yes. There are TWO universes like that. the GBC games exist in their own bubble. the advance /DS games are a seperate universe because they have their own versions of the events of RBY and GSC in their remakes, FRLG and HGSS.

only the "mega timeline" has megas and fairies and whatnot. that started on 3ds. This is canon.

Just wanna say that black and white era was a great time to be a pokemon fan because there werent any normies.

I feel like there's a lot different factors coming into play here that make Gens 4 and 5 seem less popular. For example the DS had 4 different versions released over its run. Myself and everyone Pokémon player I know in real life had more than 1 DS.

4th and 5th gen were less popular though
the whole reason they tried to make 5th gen a reboot is because they thought people stopped caring about pokemon after gen 4, only for people to like gen 5 even less

Gen 4 was slow as fuck but was quite good for both main games and spinoffs (aside from Diamond and Pearl). The hate for Gen 5 was completely unjustified and is what led the series into further stagnation since GameFreak realized that Gen 1 is a great safety net (Gen 5 was the first region to not include Kanto and BW were the first and only games to force you to use only new Pokemon until the postgame).

what people hate gen 5 for (at least, mostly) is completely justified
the story's a joke and while they do have some of the best designs they also have by far some of the worst and some mons like the simis are rightfully regarded as the worst mons in existence and the mistake of the incarnate forms also the musketeers are shit too
also yea i liked gen 4

i'm 28 anon, the people shitting themselves over gen 5 are the ones who had it as their childhood game
i'll gladly jack off to gen 3 since though I played since the start it's my favorite, it's a shame that gen 5 fags can't recognize that in themselves

The gen 1 games were actually pretty big critical flops, it was mostly the anime that carried pokemon's popularity through pokemania.
