Yea I think most people (including me) bought 3ds when pokemon X/Y came out, same for gba with rsapphire ruby... And I already had gbc gba and ds. As for home consoles I guess mario kart for wii was huge everywhere but wii u wasnt rly a thing. However, PKLG had many bad reviews in Spain and haters so I dont think that many ppl bought the console for it, im expeexpecting a big increase if pkmn 2019 is good

Nintendo home consoles did not very good across all Europe in the 90's...for whatever reason, but the original GameBoy did, so when Pokemon launched here, it was as successful as everywhere else. It was a true phonemon that brought a lot of people to Nintendo consoles and Nintendo games. Those who liked Pokemon on GB, then bought a GBA and then a DS playing a lot of other Nintendo classic franchises. By the time Wii came, it was ready to be the first successful home console in Spain (and i guess the rest of Europe too) and thanks to hype, price, games, etc it worked as great as US for a home console for the first time ever, and that's why Wii became the most successful home console for Nintendo ever, because this time it had Europe support too.

So, If anybody wonders why Pokemon Let's go did better in Spain than games like Super Mario Odyssey or Smash Bros Ultimate this is why. Pokemon is still the number 1 Nintendo franchise here.

Yea all the streamers and youtubers gave too much importance to pklg launch bc of the nostalgia it brought, lets see how new generation does and its good that we are getting actual numbers about sales here! :)
