Objectively tracking the popularity of the franchise using mainline games

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.

Yet more proof that popularity =/= quality

reviving? I dont think the series wouldve died off if pokemon go wasnt a thing

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

Source?

its so objective it doesnt have units

>GB + GBC = 118.69 million
39% of GBC owners bought RGB
12% of GBC owners bought Yellow
20% of GBC owners bought GS
5% of GBC owners bought Crystal

>GBA = 81.5 million
20% of GBA owners bought RS
8.5% of GBA owners bought Emerald


>NDS = 154.02 million
11% of NDS owners DP
5% of NDS owners bought Platinum
10% of NDS owners bought BW
5% of NDS owners bought BW2

>3DS = 75.94 million
22% of 3DS owners bought XY
22% of 3DS owners bought SM
12% of 3DS owners bought USUM

>Switch = 103 million
23% of Switch owners bought SwSh

good thing you put that on the graph or no one would know what the fuck you're talking about

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

Switch gen 4 with gen 6 and this is correct

I'm surprised ds numbers are so low

Why is gsc that much lower than swsh if swsh just barely outsold gsc and why is la so high up and why are rse and bw so much lower down by comparison and why didnt you include units and why is go so low and what the fuck is going on with sm and why is dp

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?

Can we stop? You guys have already failed so hard

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?

>Objectively
Based on what data? Where are the numbers?

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.
