Is this really what happened? Were B&W just TOO good for pokemon games?

Fairy type kill all fucking pokemon
David Flores
They had the lowest sales of any game
You could argue people lost faith in the series due to gen 4 however which would explain the drop
Joseph Evans
Which alternative to Pokémon would be ideal for me?

How many times do we need to go over this.
>Less people were interested in the brand
>Less people were interested in the DS
>There were no major shakeups to Pokemon's formula or presentation
>There were no familiar Pokemon to draw in normies
>The 3DS was close to release anyway
>Despite all of this, it just barely missed the top 5 best sellers on the system
Gen 5 performance was fine, relative to the time of its release. And Pokemon didn't "die", except to the nerds who aged out of the series.
Nathaniel Green
Play Elona.
Jaxson Rivera
Gen 5 is overrated and their fans have this strange victim mentality that comes from absolutely nowhere.
>b-b-but some boomers made fun of Vanilluxe and Garbodor!
And? All gens have their detractors, why are you so mindbroken over genwunners and Charizard?
Christopher King
is that another retarded unova fanboy spouting the stupid narrative about how enough fans didn't like the game because of muh new dex so the series magically became worse even though the game being bad has nothing to do with its dex and the games after it are objectively better?
John Richardson
Meh. The DS was on it's last legs and the market was oversaturated with RPGs. It just happened to be bad timing.

Funny, considering 10 year olds sure as hell aren't playing pokemon these days. The franchise is kept alive by manchildren who never grew up and fake nerds who create shitty youtube videos.

>considering 10 year olds sure as hell aren't playing pokemon these days.
yes they are, are you retarded? manchildren dont sell 22 million copies on their own
Xavier Murphy
No It happened because of Gen 4 asa backslash.
Thomas Rivera

They do but they play it for FREE on Minecraft and Roblox.
Adam Powell

What did he mean by this
Luis Jackson
>Gen 5 is overrated
More like still underrated.
Emerald is overrated.
Brody Wood
How quickly the Pokémon cycle speeds by and everyone forgets that they very blatantly made Gen 5 embarrassingly linear because children were getting lost in Sinnoh.
Christian Lee
i mean you're right but then you get to swooshie and there's not even a single dungeon so compared to that at least gen 5 has something

>muh random encounter hallways
Even Sword and Shield has more exploration than Unova does.
Benjamin Stewart
>>muh random encounter hallways
if you don't like random encounter hallways, don't you hate every game before sword and shield?
Robert Fisher
Nice bait, over a year later and you're still seething.
Charles Myers
Plenty of the other games don't attempt to use them as a crutch in place of gameplay that's actually good, so no.
Aiden Gray
Yep. Simple as.
Leo Parker
Lol. This is on the same level of delusion as "Inflation is good for you".
