How successful do you guys think this game will be? I’m sure just being an “open-world Pokémon game” automatically slots it into the above-20m sales mark, but can it beat the likes of Sword and Shield at 20.35 million, BotW at 21.45 million, or possibly become not just a Switch best-seller by beating Mario Kart 8 at 33.41 million, but the best-selling Pokémon game ever by beating Red and Blue’s 31.38 million?
The reason I bring up sales is because I so desperately want this game to absolutely smash sales expectations so as to tell Game Freak that this is the direction the Pokémon fanbase wants the games to go in.
I think if Animal Crossing of all things can sell north of 30 million games, that such a ground-breaking game from the world’s highest-grossing media franchise probably can too, right?
