So Gen 6's sales are probably the most impressive overall after Gen 1 considering there were only 2 pairs of games. Considering 3DS was nowhere near the sales monster of the DS or even the Gameboy/GBA at the time of their release, and it was pre PoGo bringing Pokemon back to the front of pop culture, I find it very interesting Gen 6 sold so well. My guess would be it must be because Gen 6 was the biggest jump for the franchise maybe ever in terms of graphics and animations. Mega evos ended up going over surprisingly well too for something that seemed like just a gimmick at first. I'd say certainly much more successful than Gen 7's Alola forms or Ultra Beasts.
