I would love Pokemon Platinum to outsell Pokemon Emerald and Crystal(WORST POKEMON EVER), but as of right now..

R/S/E > D/P/Pt

I liked Crystal

the G/S/C was the BEST generation for me & it is critically (metacritic wise)

what didn't you like but CRYSTAL?

was it the fact that you couldn't cat serrebi?

I hated Euisine and Crystal's overall attempt at a story.  Also, the sprite animations made battles longer than they had to be.

Of course Pokemon is more popular than GTA, that was always a fact.

@smoked hostage

yeah sprite animations were annoying & I do feel story was bad

it should've been based on serrebi not suicine (who is the most boring out of the 3 dogs anyway)

bTW

Pokemon Platinum had beaten the sales of Emerald & Crystal in Japan...if the trend continues Pokemon could in fact see an increase in popularity this gen over last gen

i agree with you but lets just think how many different people actually bought pokemon games. Im pretty sure its the same people buying every version of pokemon so in terms of the amount of people who enjoy these games GTA might win because alot of people play GTA at a friends house because they cant afford GTA or for what ever reason.

But i dont really know i was just pointing this fact out

I'm guessing the kids that liked Battle Dimension on Cartoon Network are the bulk of new Pokemon fans out there.

Also, I'd love Platinum to sell at least 8 million units.  It's the best of the three games this gen,  in my opinion.

@smoked hostage

probably yeah

I think the S/R pokemon anime bit never took off much

but battle dimension I have heard got better TVR than it

GTA>Pokemon>FF.

All I can say is that GTA holds the title for best sandbox and my favorite series. Pokemon is also one of my favorite series however I dont play it as much any more because its too much of the same thing.

I wanna be the very best that no one ever was *Echos* ever was, ever was...
