"Correction:Gen 1 and maybe gen 2 are really beloved.The rest is just grouped together." This part here implies you were saying otherwise and before you try to pull the punctuation card it's always best you check your own posts for the same as it comes across as self ownage especially when it's more apparent in you own post here. The's no stupid first sentence look at the sales numbers of mainline Pokemon games are they on average higher than Zelda and Mario? Take your time on this one the answer will make you realize where the BS is really coming from. BOTW is at 14m after 2 years while PLG sold 10m by the end of December 2018 common sense is going to tell you how fast that gap has closed by now but the end of Q1 2019 it very likely would have passed BOTW . |
It seems that I have... offended you?Arrr matey, would you excuse this old sea monkey?
Yeah, Pokemon usually sells better than Mario and Zelda.And?Never said otherwise.That comment was, yet again, directed towards spin offs.Which Zelda has almost any, mind you.So mostly directed at Mario spin off.Which it has many, and many are very successful.
And no, Lets Go wont sell more than Odyssey and BOTW.Im not a bet person, even if I have a bet with Wright, so I wont be making one.But the legs both those games showed, especially Zelda, should point out that they are far from being done, and history has shown that once a new gen comes, the previous will be cut short.And while yes, Lets Go is not a mainline entry, it was aimed at the same audience, so the same effect should happen to it.
And yes, it is lumped together, because the vast ocean that is called the casual market knows the pokemon from the gen 1 and 2, and the rest is identified as "Look, a Pokemon!".Again, that dosent mean that the other gens are not liked.They are, but hust by the ones more enthusiastic about Pokemon.Which is a shitton of people.Not just as big as the other shitton of people.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
