Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you all meant earlier when it was said the release of older games didn't set the world on fire - leave me alone, Rol - but it seems to me they were pretty popular on the 3DS eShop:

What do you think caused that sale spike for the Pokemon games according to your link?

Spoiler!
The reason is in the link (and the title of the article).

Also it dominated the list 6-7 years after it came out on 3DS....so no it wasnt that it was popular, it was a result of FOMO due to the eShop closure - a similar thing happened to a few PSN games when Sony was about to close down the PS3 store years ago.

Street Fighter IV 3D Edition is on that same list in the link, you think it set the world on fire when the superior version (Ultra Street Fighter IV) is still available to buy on 3 other platforms and was available for the same price or even less?
