I dont think thats a case but point that people know that every handheld (or in this case hybrid) has several Pokemon games, so Switch also will not have only only Pokemon release and that will effect on sales, its not like we will have just one Pokemon game that will sell hole Switch life cycle. So hardly that we will have one Pokemon game that will sell 30m+.

The's a big difference here though as the hardware is not strictly portable based only we could have one title that receives DLC packs and expansions which I could see possibly happening, he's right in that Pokemon has a massive potential boost as we all underestimated the effect such a jump would have on MH and that outsold every other title with ease.

To give an example they could just have one game (two version approach) with an initial season pass then rather than make another title they would make expansion like DLC for a second season pass, it would make sense as development even though the platform is a hybrid is now console level so multiple titles like before are likely to not be as common in a gen like before.

Thats true but 30m+ is huge number in any case if we talk about game that's not heavily bundled and that will not be only Pokemon game on system. I dont say its not possible, but thats unlikely.

No way that we will have just one Pokemon game (two version approach) on Switch, Pokemon Company knows that evre Pokemon game is at least 10-15m seller in any case, Switch will probably have 2-3 Pokemon games.
