>>51318633What do you say about this image? It has Yellow at 8,71 million but it was from March 2000 (before it was released in Europe). Individually Yellow is the best selling version in the Americas and was in peak Pokemania with Pikachu as your starter, while Crystal was in the lowest point of the franchise popularity wise and was Gameboy Color only, you have to be retarded to think that Crystal sold better than Yellow.
https://life.oricon.co.jp/news/72880/RGB (-Japanese Blue) = 29.04 million
Japanese Blue = 2,01 million
RGB = 31,05 million
GS = 23,73 miillion
RGBYGSC = 76 million
RGBGS = 54.78 million
Yellow and Crystal = 21,22 million
Yellow = 8,71 million until March 2000
Yellow JP (March 2000) = 3,16 million
Yellow NA (March 2000) = 5,55 million
Yellow EU (March 2000) = 0 (European Yellow was released on June 16 2000)
Which leaves us with 12,51 million for:
Extra Yellow sales in JP and Americas
All Yelllow sales in Europe
Crystal
If we lowball Yellow sales
0 extras sales in JP and the Americas after March 2000
5,55 million sales in Europe and Other (Same as Americas)
We end up with a highball sales for Crystal of less than 7 million and lowballed Yellow at 14,26 million
Considering that until March 2000. RGB had sold 26,56 million and it ended up selling over 31 million. 0 extra sales in Japan and the Americas for Yellow is obviously fiction. A more realist estimate would be Yellow 15 million (Same as Red) and Crystal 6,25 million
tl.dr. Crystal sold like shit.
