>Even with normies-appealing games like The Last of Us 2 lots of normies realized "Yeap, this is trash" and boycotted it despite the hard shilling the game got

Embarrassing

And you remember how hard Sony, journos and shills tried to silent everyone that criticized The Last of Us 2. And yet the game flopped.

Extremely. Pokémon consumers in this day and age are the worst.

Couple of theories off the top of my head
>Little Timmy isn't buying The Last of Us 2
>A good chunk of pokefags will literally only play mainline Pokemon and don't know anything else
>It's on the Switch, a console with plenty of ass performance to go around
>People are more likely to be blindly defensive to a franchise they grew up with

True.
>no level scaling for the bosses
>most minimalist postgame since Gen 1
>battles are still unbearably slow
>co-op is extremely lacking
>raid battles are shit
>DLC may remove the best feature, the glitches
The only replayability I see is making sandwiches.

Even though it sold a lot, all but the most diehard gamefreak simps (aka Joe) have basically said the game was unfinished. Popular sentiment is that the issues are unacceptable. Hell even Nintendo acknowledged it in the first patch notes. I have a feeling something will change because even if SV sold a lot the future perception of the franchise is something TPCI has to consider. Not trying to defend anyone here, all the hate is well deserved and I feel especially burnt considering this is my first mainline game after skipping Sword and Shield. But there is some hope here I think.

Nice argument but you missed one thing and that is that SV are not trash which you would know if you played them

According to whom? Shills? Sony never gave us actual sales numbers. They pushed lots of copies at stores that ended up unsold.

There are lots of Switch games (including ones by Nintendo) that don't have this problem. Also Sword/Shield while not as impressive as other Switch games it's still beautiful and it's not a glitchfest like Scarlet/Violet.

OR maybe, just maybe:
Parents are buying their children, the target audience of this series, the game because they know that their CHILDREN -- again, main target audience -- like pokemon. If you retards stopped huffing your own farts for ten seconds, you'd realize that the manbabies who vehemently defend game freak and pokermans are a minority of the consumers, and a mere fraction of the people who actually buy these games.

Retarded and incredibly ignorant post.
Bethesda routinely releases broken buggy games that get critical acclaim purely because they're fun.
CDPR released a buggy trash heap called Cyberpunk 2077 but a few years of patches later and a spinoff anime and suddenly people love it despite the game not really changing that much from release. The only thing that changed was people's perceptions because the media hate brigade couldn't stand up against weeaboos.

The quality and visuals of a game does not matter so long as people end up having fun with it.

With Bethesdashit at last you know modders will come up with literal magic and create entirely different games from modding it so hard. What's Pokemon excuse?

You absolute dunce retard. I'm explaining that the sales aren't coming from swarms of middle aged pokemon fans, they're coming from parents buying their kid the latest monster catcher game, so all of his "theories" are completely inane. Again, stop huffing your own farts for a microsecond you baboon.

this might be feasibly attributed to the number of parents who have no clue about games at all and just bought it to keep their kids busy. i can see a mom buying her kid pokemon, but i cant really see a mom buying her kid TLOU2
