What the fuck are you talking about? How does quantity have to relate to quality at all. Find anybody that's played all Pokemon games that will say the latest installments are best.

The game is garbage carried by nostalgia and people that will buy the games regardless of how shit they are because they love being pokemon fans

hey man hope you have a better day. I can tell it must be rough if you're getting this angry over pokemon.

wow - there's a level of toxicity in response that I'd expect from reddit, not lemmy.

We're talking about a childrens video game franchise here, so maybe let's take the hostility down a few notches? I'm happy to talk about this, but I'm also happy to block you if you wanna carry on acting like we're on reddit.

And my point was that (whether you agree or not) a franchises success is based off how well it can sell it's own product, and Pokemon has no problem selling games. And again, the game is marketed primarily at children, not the hardcore players who have been playing since Pokemon Red way back in the day - and my nephews absolutely love Pokemon.

I wasn't arguing that the new games are good (they aren't), but you can't argue they aren't successful
