To add on that:

In 2002 Crytal gets listed at 1.85M

So combining all those we get 18.02M
Nintendo says they shipped 23M of RedBlueGreenYellowGoldSilverCrystal.

I don't know if they counted the Virtual Console in that.
Seems insane that there are 5M copies of Pokemon somewhere that Famitsu did not track.

I also doubt 5m was sold on VC considering the release was in 2016 the year Sun/Moon released as well, that 23m figure by Nintendo kind of also backs VGC who can't track digital but have RGB at 10.2m and yellow at 3.1m while G/S at 7.5m and Crystal at 1.3m which comes to a total of 22.1 which given the margin of error and the official shipment from Nintendo indicates VGC were either on the ball with their tracking or had an ultra reliable source.
