I haven't played any Pokemon stuff. it doesn't really interest me. Why buy both versions of a game when it releases? Collector? I know of one person who will buy a game and buy the GOTY version with all the DLC when it comes out. He likes to collect game related things, I guess.

I sometimes will buy a GOTY version of game long after I traded in the copy I had.

Before we had online trading people often bought both games to get all the Pokémon. Also Pokémon games only have one safe file, so if someone in your family wants to play the game you need a new copy. And yeah, people also like collecting (especially Pokémon fans, who knew? :p)

As for Monster Hunter, it just has a very dedicated and hardcore fanbase.

Yo-kai Watch is heading the same way with Yo-kai Watch 2 and Yo-kai Watch 2.5 (no doubt many people double dipped).
