Wonder how well a mainline title will do.

It think it will do better than Let's Go, but I don't know how much better it will do.

 

Actual Gamefreak quotes:

"The game will give a good understanding of what an evolved Pokémon game looks like after it has continued to succeed the traditions of Game Freak."

"We want to make Pokémon fans say 'this is what I've been waiting for' by delivering a brand-new product packed with gameplay elements and plenty of new Pokémon to encounter."

 

If they deliver on what they're promising and have some nice surprises, this could be Nintendo's biggest ever launch potentially. They've got a few things going for them:

- Pokemon brand is huge, and after Pokemon Go and LGP/E, they've tapped into a lot of people who have given up on the franchise

- Last Pokemon mainline games (D/P till S/M) have consistently sold 15m+

- Like with Mario Odyssey and BOTW, there is a thirst from the fanbase for the next push in the franchise

- Switch user base will have grown significantly by next year
