Even if someone thought SM are utter shit, did anyone really think that Pokemon wouldn't sell? Time and again it's been proven you can take any old crap, throw pokemon in the title, and it will sell.

Nintendo would truely be fucked without it

Is it you? It's you, isn't it? What are you waiting for? Just do it, faggot!

B-But pokemon is not nintendo

No I knew it would sell and the sad part is that every time this happens, you know that the developers will take it as validation that what they are doing is right.

>Time and again it's been proven you can take any old crap, throw pokemon in the title, and it will sell.

Nice meme

>Japan has taste

What is this bizarro world?

Nintendo doesn't actually make that much money from pokemon sales as they don't actually own it, they just have a close working relationship with the pokemon company.

that being said i'm certain pokemon drives sales of consoles, so you're not entirely wrong.

There's so many people I know that only buy modern nintendo handhelds for pokemon and nothing else.

Pokémon became, by far, Japan's #1-selling game in 2016, in just one week.

who the fuck cares about japan
you nintendrones are going to cry when botw flops

>liking Pokemon means you care about any other nintendo game

>358400793 (You)
Awful bait

>tfw sumo is the best pokemon since gen 1
feelsgoodman

say what you will, even if Pokemon Go has no staying power it certainly did wonders for SaMs sales. I went in to get my preorder on the friday and it was packed, and I live in a pretty bogan area.

>mystery dungeon -the best thing that has pokemon branding- will never sell this well

I want to weep

>Nintendo doesn't actually make that much money from pokemon sales as they don't actually own it
is this a fucking joke
they publish it

Your mother published you and yet she's still poor as shit.

You mean Pokemon Conquest

People aren't buying millions of copies of me, you fucking retard, contemplate your life before you hit that submit button next time you decide to make a joke about someone's mother.

nintendo owns gamefreak, numbnuts

>Someone took the time to make this.

>People aren't buying millions of copies of me,

much to your mothers chagrin

The 3DS games launched in Japan on November 18. The number includes sales of download cards and the Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon Double Pack, but excludes download sales.

>download cards

What?

I think it probably took you close to 3 minutes to think of that joke, which leads me to believe you did not contemplate your life before submitting that post.

Even over here, there's phyiscal cards in stores you can buy that give you a download code.
Meaning if they bought it from the eshop itself, it doesn't count, but if they bought one of the cards and then downloaded it does.

Lame. I kind of want one of the new pokemon games to flop so Gamefreak doesn't think they're doing everything right.

I mean fuck Gen 6 was so horrible it made me drop the entire series, and I spent thousands of hours on pokemon over the years.

Have you tried SM? It's a step back onto the right path. If nothing else, they'll know they can make the games not piss baby easy and still sell them.

Its probably just Skyward Sword with text changed

Even that trashheap XY sold a shit ton, what else would you actually expect?

XY sold 1.8 million in like 1 day or something. It came out on the 12th but the media create sales from the 7th to the 13th put it at almost 2 million.

Wait are sun and moon actually challenging? That's what killed ORAS for me.

Only if you're shit at the game, yeah. It's still piss easy but not that easy.

I can't call it challenging, but the Totem Pokemon can get you if you turn exp. share off.

>normie love pokemon
Wow I'm surprised.

These first week Pokémon numbers put Sun/Moon's Japanese opening below Black/White and X/Y, but above everything else.

>XY sold 1.8 million in like 1 day or something. It came out on the 12th but the media create sales from the 7th to the 13th put it at almost 2 million.
>1.8 mill
>1 day
Bullshit.

G/S is still king.

Deserved it desu

I wouldnt use the metacritic score though, XY also had 88 average review score.

How about 4 million in two days?

>XD
It was a pretty good game if a little slow.
I have a fucking dusknoir, I purified the shadow duskull then sent it to my GBA SP, then sent it to diamond (evolved), to white, to XY, and now it's ready to head for the bank.

Traveled across time and space, from a far off distant land.

>Eurogamer
I'm talking about media create sales only.

Of course they'd be, but it has nothing to do with whether or not they are good games. They were the only new games that hit before Pokemania died.

>XD

really newfag? How young are you

>sumo is the best pokemon since gen 1
Top kek, fuck no it isn't. Kill yourself KantoCuck.

Get fucked millennial

Is that like a Pokemon or /vp/ specific meme? Anytime Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness is mentioned, you act dumb like you don't realize that's what the game is actually called?

Wow, it's as if the Pokemania in Japan never ended

newfag detected

No user, you are the newfag

I don't post in Pokemon threads much, but I take it that it is a meme despite being stupid?

If you're not a millennial what the fuck are you still doing on Sup Forums? If you're here when you're older than 30 then you need to evaluate your life choices.

What website?

I would buy it so hard if it was on PC

>despite it being stupid
This is a misunderstanding on a fundamental level, you are the only stupid thing here.

The pokemon company manages only the pokemon image and the transmedia part. They are the ones who sell the rights to use pikachu's face for merchandising and the ones who bully people throwing pokemon parties.

Kamishima was their CEO.

Nintendo owns Gamefreak.
Without Pokemon a lot of people wouldn't buy the handhelds.

>Millennial uses ad hominem!
>It's not very effective...

...

Journos have been pushing the "Yokai is killing Pokemon!" meme for a whole

why, it's a piece of shit

They own 2/3s of the IP m8

t. Yokai Watch fanboy

Well if its mainline he's 100% right. spin offs sell like shit, though.

never played Yokai Watch, just want pokemon that aren't slow pieces of shit with 5% encounter rates

SM is easily one of the best Pokemon games ever. Fuck off shitposter.

How old were you when you stopped playing pokemon?

Me? I was 12

As long as Pokemon has furries it will never die.

They were really pushing it too this gen with that stupid lizard.

Are you 13 now?

>SM is easily one of the best Pokemon games ever.

Around the time I realized that all pokemon games are all the same wankery and the only changing thing were the pokemons, since I am not an ultra autist that likes to min max pokemons or even collect them, the appeal was lost

So, aroumd when I was 16

>Slow=Bad
If every pokemon on the game is slow, then the main game will be balanced. Also, they are by no means bad.

>>healing after every battle
Wait, what?

>>genwun pandering out the ass
>muh hoenn
Fuck off Hoenigger. You're less than a Johtoddler.

>If every pokemon on the game is slow
But they aren't. Its only the new mons in a game that's also completely saturated with gen1 mons.

>No hoenn references
I'll disregard everything else of this bait because it isn't even worth it.

>that's also completely saturated with gen1 mons.
Oh fuck off, there's only 20 gen 1 pokemon with alolan forms and everything else is new.

>completely changed her design to rip off Danganronpa because genwunners are allergic to REAL references to better regions
You know that doesn't fucking count

Better a Hoenigger than a Kantocuck.

looks like a fun game

Not too sure why anyone would kill themselves over it

H's exaggerating, but there are quite a few story events where your party is healed.

I'm not talking about the alolan forms you mong.

>Constantly caught off guard by certain trainers and wild pokemon and nearly get swept

That fucking Hau battle in the rain with that Vaporeon is ridiculous, and who's idea was it to give Salandit Dragon Rage at like level 15?

Lillie is my waifu
