Again it's not me putting words in your mouth it's what you're implying your Pikachu argument to try and push your notion is weak as you're trying to say that because people recognize the series mascot over new characters it's not as popular you basically said a whole load of nothing in regards to Pokemon's popularity that doesn't back your stance in anyway it's basically "I just don't think it's popular anymore" yet PGO has raked in 4b alone and brought in 1bn just in last year (2020) by itself which is an increase over the 832m it made in its launch year, this coupled with S/S' performance that objectively says the popularity is still just as big if not bigger than before.
You've still not explained anything all you've said is well the pandemic happened even your links don't back you, those games were hyped long before the pandemic and being the fastest selling is something that was bound to happen either way their sales didn't explode pass what the series achieves like AC has so all you've posted is something that suggests the games sell their usual faster than normal not that it increases sales which is what you're arguing for AC. For example FFVIIR is the fastest selling yet the last sales update at the end of September was 5m which is 3m less than XV's total the latter sold 6m in same time period so having a bigger first week in the opening week doesn't back your argument in anyway. 3DS was a declining platform yet S/M still outsold ORAS.
So again you've not proven the sales increases is due to covid if anything all you've done is show it helped it get there faster, we'll agree to disagree.
