More surprising to me is Spyro nowhere to be seen in this top 20. I guess we don't care at all about Spyro in Spain....

As for Switch numbers..., i guess they're absolutely fine, is just that this is Spain after all, SONYLAND, and PS4 has a huge advantage in hardware. I have to add too, from a spanish perspective, Nintendo was never huge as in USA or Japan, or even relevant until Pokemon came in 1998. Most people here associated Nintendo consoles with Pokemon. Mario, Zelda, etc became more popular much later. So that's why PS has always dominated so much here.

Yea I think most people (including me) bought 3ds when pokemon X/Y came out, same for gba with rsapphire ruby... And I already had gbc gba and ds. As for home consoles I guess mario kart for wii was huge everywhere but wii u wasnt rly a thing. However, PKLG had many bad reviews in Spain and haters so I dont think that many ppl bought the console for it, im expeexpecting a big increase if pkmn 2019 is good

Nintendo home consoles did not very good across all Europe in the 90's...for whatever reason, but the original GameBoy did, so when Pokemon launched here, it was as successful as everywhere else. It was a true phonemon that brought a lot of people to Nintendo consoles and Nintendo games. Those who liked Pokemon on GB, then bought a GBA and then a DS playing a lot of other Nintendo classic franchises. By the time Wii came, it was ready to be the first successful home console in Spain (and i guess the rest of Europe too) and thanks to hype, price, games, etc it worked as great as US for a home console for the first time ever, and that's why Wii became the most successful home console for Nintendo ever, because this time it had Europe support too.

So, If anybody wonders why Pokemon Let's go did better in Spain than games like Super Mario Odyssey or Smash Bros Ultimate this is why. Pokemon is still the number 1 Nintendo franchise here.
