DQ 9 will outesell them both.

It should outsell DQX, but it certainly will not outsell Final Fantasy XIII. Final Fantasy will be the highest selling JRPG this generation. FFXIV is a MMO and Versus is an exclusive. Both equal lower sales.

Best selling JRPG that isn't pokemon. I say DQIX has a chance though. But it is unlikely.

How is Pokemon a JRPG in any way, shape or form? It's about as much a JRPG as The Legend of Zelda.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a while. Please go ahead and explain to me how it is NOT an JRPG?

Here are some reasons why it is a JRPG:

Stats/Level System for a Party.

Turn Based battles that use a strategy such as items, and status effects.

Store system almost identical to that found in other Jrpgs. You buy a set number of items and upgrades, you can sell items and upgrades at a cheaper price than what you buy them for.

Slight Adventuring aspects. Most RPGs have them, even Jrpgs. Jrpgs mostly only have slight adventuring and nothing too exciting. Pokemon can be described as such.

Oh and btw, I am doubting your Legend of Zelda comparison. To be honest some games in the Zelda series, such as Zelda II can be labeled as Jrpgs. So here I ask, if pokemon isn't a Jrpg what is it? Almost everybody who has played a pokemon game and those who haven't know it is a Jrpg.

Why it is not a JRPG:

1) You capture little beasts and they do the combat for you.

2) It's not story focused at all.

3) It is aimed at children

4) While a JRPG story usually involves a grand adventure, Pokemon's story involves a teenager trapping small animals inside miniature prisons and forcing them to fight until they fall unconscious.

I suppose I exaggerated a little. It certainly is an RPG, and it's Japanese. It shares some traits with JRPGs, but I wouldn't consider it a JRPG. It just doesn't take itself seriously enough. I suppose when I think "JRPG" I think something like Final Fantasy, so Pokemon would be a very different kind of JRPG.

It's still awesome, though

EDIT: FINE. I know when I'm beaten, it's a JRPG
