Selling less then black and white? How did you come to that? black and white had the best opening to a pokemon game to date, with it's legs being cut short due to a new handheld

You should be comparing it to diamond and pearl, considering the both came out at the same point

and pokemon black and white 2 actually sold more then platinum

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/01/30/pokemon-blackwhite-2-have-sold-over-7-5-million-worldwide/

NDS | Pokémon Black/White 2 – 7.63 million

Making that table even more wrong

I'm just saying that there is a trend for Pokemon sales declining in the West, with the only exception being Diamond/Pearl thus far. Black/White 2 being a bit undertracked does not change the point at all.

My conclusion is based on history. You denied said history that bananaking decided to use for his prediction. I'm just saying that this history is right, and thus there wasn't anything "stupid" about his post.

I personally disagree.  I think X and Y will do pretty well for the West, better than Black and White.  While what you're saying is based on the history of the sales of pokemon, it is far from the only factor and thus is just a prediction.  It's not stupid, it's just not conclusive. 

I think X and Y will make a comeback, stronger than that of Black and White.
