According to Benji(market (insider) Pokemon Let's Go interest is lower than other previous mainline title and has 0 effects on Switch sales currently, while Super Smash Bros Ultimate is the opposite in comparison since E3 Direct with a huge interest from new buyers.

You can tell hardcore Pokemon fans are disappointed in Let's Go. I don't think it'll flop per se, but will sell more on the lines of a 3rd version. Seems like many hardcore fans are holding out for the 2019 title. 

Seriously one of bizarre decision to not double down on nostalgia factor for Kanto remake with a new graphical overhaul and story presentation. 

They can make a new Kanto remake + improved graphics + Story presentation + Other extra details and quest + New Pokemons and it will definitely sell around 15-16M without a single doubt.  

Instead, they're making a new Kanto remake + phone graphics + overprice peripheral + New Catching mechanics + No wild battle + gym type restriction and it pissed off the majority of core fans by hoping a smooth adoption of casual GO players, a big fucking mistake by them. 

It's weird when Masuda is in full defensive mode right now with his statements regarding Pokemon Let's go and next mainline pokemon such as " New mainline will have a better graphics ". "Core fans please look forward to the next year ", " we know what we're doing with Let's Go, please have a faith in us " and etc. 

Smash Bros Ultimate will obliterate Pokemon Let's Go easily
