Anyone who thinks Nintendo doesn’t want a GTA level of sales for Pokemon are crazy. They could literally have that if they would deliver with an incredible mainline entry. And like I just said, you’ve got easy remakes to churn out in the meantime and still sell a cool 10m+ and not risk any real damage to the franchise’s rep either

Pokémon is #1 selling grossing media franchise.
According to Wikipedia (reliable-ish).
Pokémon at $88 billion.
Mickey Mouse is #2 at $52.2 billion.

GTA is #36 at $9.88 billion.


So Pokémon does amazing, they wont have to worry about failing, even if the games are bad, they will always sell because the franchise has a positive influence.

Now let us compare GTA main series sales to Pokémon main series sale
GTA                   ~3.5 million
GTA 2                   1 million
GTA III                 17.5 million
GTA: Vice City       20 million
GTA: San Andreas  27.5 million
GTA IV                ~25 million
GTA V                    190 million
Total                      284.5 million copies.

Pokémon Red and Blue                                31.7 million
Pokémon Yellow                                          14.64 million
Pokémon Gold and Silver                             23.73 million
Pokémon Crystal                                         6.39 million
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire                       16.22 million
Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen                  12 million
Pokémon Emerald                                       6.32 million

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2                       7.63 million
Pokémon X and Y                                        16.45 million
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire    14.27 million
Pokémon Sun and Moon                               16.18 million
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon                8.77 million
Pokémon Let's GO Pikachu! and Eevee!          15.07 million
Pokémon Sword and Shield                           26.02 million
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl 14.92 million
Pokémon Legends: Arceus                            14.83 million
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet                           23.23 million
Total                                                           314.4 million copies

GTA pulls some big numbers in its later games *cough GTA V cough*, and GTA VI will be the same.
Pokémon usually pulls around +20 million on new generation games, and should be the case with gen 10.

What does The Pokémon Company need in a game to appeal to all +130 million Switch owners?
