Great numbers.

Pokemon just crushing everything in sight. 16M already. Could become the second best selling Pokemon ever, at least third best.

I think that as the game is only a few months old number 3 is a given and number 2 Very likely. It is now nunber 7 but those 4-6  are close already. Less likely is  #1 but i  think that lifetime it has a shot. Numbers below for reference.

.

Year	Platform	Titles	Sales (millions)
1996	GB	Pokémon Red/Green/Blue	31.38
1999	GBC	Pokémon Gold & Silver	23.1
2006	DS	Pokémon Diamond & Pearl	17.67
2013	3DS	Pokémon X & Y	16.42
2002	GBA	Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire	16.22
2016	3DS	Pokémon Sun & Moon	16.17
2019	NS	Pokémon Sword & Shield	16.06

Wow! The fact it will beat the DS and 3DS Pokemon games is insane! Hopefully this gives the devs more motivation to create better pokemon games after the amount of criticism were thrown at them.
