Perfect timing. First there was Pokemon Red/Green in Japan, and that sold very well, so Nintendo saw potential. Then (I don't know how) Nintendo got the Triforce of Wisdom: Re-releasing with Red/Blue, making the TV show, and TCG, then some toys... There was no way for Pokemon to fail. It was new, fresh and different, and Nintendo/GameFreak knew how to approach this monster.
Look at Yokai Watch in Japan now! It sold respectably well, but then the Anime released, started selling like crazy, and the sequel is shaping up to become the new Pokemon!
Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
