Thanks! Poor Ultra SuMo, if I remember correctly X/Y was already down from B/W (vastly diffrent installbases I know), and it has only been declining since then. 3DS is definitively on it's way out.

I've noticed a similar slowness with Sun and Moon in the media create threads.  I know that the 3DS is on its way out and these are sequels, but it seems like Pokémon's popularity in Japan has been steadily decreasing.  

Yeah, Pokemon seems to be declining in japan. I think Pokemon Switch will be the litmus test for the franchise in japan. If GF hit it out of the park I can see it riding again.

Ultra Sun & Moon isn't anything to worry about because that always happens to third versions, Emerald, Platinum, and Black & White 2 all sold close to half of their original

Title Sales (MIllions)
Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire 16.22
Pokémon Emerald 6.32
Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen 12
Pokémon Diamond & Pearl 17.67
Pokémon Platinum 7.6
Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver 12.72
Pokémon Black and White 15.64
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 8.52
Pokémon X and Y 16.15
Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire 13.79

Would it be fair to say that Pokemon isn't really on a decline in japan specifically? All things considered that is a pretty normal sales projectory for Pokemon worldwide, it's just off by two spots compared to Europe and NA(and even then you can excuse that as region specific stuff)

Pokemon WW this gen is slighlty better than last. Especially Europe. That said in japan there is a decline (despite the amazing oras sales ww/japan for third gen remake)

I know that(well...besides Diamond/Pearl, even with digital I don't think base Sun and Moon will beat that), that's why I said that Sun and Moon were like two points higher in Europe/NA. I assumed it was because of console sales, but I guess that wouldn't make since since they're close to or matching DS titles in other regions. Maybe Yokai is offering good competition?

L5 buried themselves now so yw being that temp top tier franchise is gone.

 

That said compared to the ds gen pokemon held off pretty damn well things giving. Hell most remarkable feat was oras being higher than both frlg and hgss both of which original games sold 30mil+ and 20mil+ respectively. Oras being a remake of a 16mil seller (and sold close to that of almost 14mil)



Dynasty Warriors 9 release date announced for February 8th in Japan. Expect to see it appearing in the charts shortly.
