Pokemon Go has already been a huge success.
Let's Go Pokemon which I assume is the game you are referring to seems to be enjoying positive reactions (the about 90% Youtube approval combined with over 3 million views in less than 24 hours should be an indicator of that), and just because you say it is "real stupid" does not make it that for other people.
With that being said, I am not sure how Let's Go Pokemon and will do sales wise (I am being conservative about it right now, due to it being somewhat of a spin-off but still one that is closest to the core games compared to previous spin-offs, I also think its legs will be shorter as the 2019 Pokemon will steal its thunder; so right now I am thinking about 5-7 million combined units for this Let's Go release). As for Switch, I am not sure that Smash + Pokemon + previous ever greens and support titles will be enough to carry it 20 million or even meet the same results as last year (right now I am projecting that their sales will be somewhat below last year). However, my views are not final as their E3 lineup (and more specifically the strength of the exclusives, namely first-party/second-party ones, that have yet to be announced for the year) will play a major role in those numbers and potential price adjustments might change things as well. But as of now I think the second year will be slightly lower than first year by the end of the holidays.
