Congrats to GameFreak and Pokémon Co.! :) Yet another powerful testimony to the fact that a game doesn’t need to be the prettiest in order to achieve success.

I'm not going to celebrate a game with a $13m budget lacking care, attention and polish selling so well lol. As has been the case for the past 8 years, a franchise like pokemon deserves much better. That you can put out a subpar product and sell it on brand strength is not something to be celebrated.

Pokemon selling so well while lacking any ambition is not something I can understand why anyone would be happy about.

But aside from that, the game should have very strong holiday sales. I don't expect legs to be particularly good going into future years but it can beat Arceus lifetime even with a weaker launch.
