Which obviously doesn't matter for the games since they sell so well, anyway. SM sold better in the US than in Japan. Could a faster anime localization make the games even more successful? I am not convinced. XY marked the beginning of simultaneous releases, but they also started much more...
Is the anime that big a promotion tool outside Japan? It's clear that the games don't rely on the anime and merchandise is limited in the west. I don't think that the anime has ever tried to promote the TCG, either.
