This game is wild card, it can sell good, great or incredible, its aiming for wider audience than typical Pokemon game, so even if some core Pokemon fans dont buy it (most of them will buy it in any case) casuals or people that never before played Pokemon will buy it also and offcourse some of Pokemon Go players, also because of that this game can keep selling even after core Pokemon is out next year, and strong Nintendo IPs are generaly selling great and better on Switch than on some past consoles.

With all that on mind IMO everything between LT 10m and 20m+ is possible, and I will go with, 3.5m FW, 9m 2018. and 15m+ LT.

Initially I thought the game would sell above 10-12m lifetime, but now with the backlash I'm thinking it'll sell more like Emerald, Crystal, Platinum etc;  

There is some backlash only because fans wanted core game this year and they didnt expected this, but that doesn't mean that plenty of them want buy this game game in any case or that this game cant sell well, especially because primary target audience for this game don't post on forums, for instance reveal trailer has 291k likes and 29k dislakes.

I think that even in for case game will hit 10m+.
