it will do the same numbers from last year imo in the holidays, reports from insiders is pokemon hype is weak.

Don’t underestimate the sales potential of Pokemon just because insiders are reporting low hype for the game, especially during holidays. 

Pokemon should never be underestimated.  I think the lack of hype comes from it not being 'mainline' and the perception that it is a Switch version of the free game on phones.  Pikachu and Eevee are 58 and 87 respectively on Amazon 2018 which seems to imply that Smash (6!) has all the hype this year on Switch.  But lets face it RDR2 is ranked 85 and there is frankly no way that the combined PS4/Xbox One wont outsell all three titles so preorders are hard to read some time.  Whats more important for Switch numbers is how many holdouts there are for Pokemon Go on Switch.

Now if Nintendo actually believed in sales...
