>Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl sold 1.39 million copies in its first three days in Japan alone, surpassing the launch sales of Pokémon Sword and Shield in the same period in that region.>As of December 31, 2022, the games had sold 15.06 million copies worldwideHow the fuck are Pokemon games selling this much for a remake with bad graphics?
>>58274120I bought a copy of Brilliant Diamond so I could get Darkrai in Legends Arceus, then I gave it to a friend so he could make a save file and get his Darkrai too without buying the game. Then he gave it to another friend for the same purpose, and so on. I doubt the chain is still going, but I'd like to believe it is.
>>58274120>long awaited remake>gets sabotaged by a dogshit tech demo to experiment with open fields, shitty combat, and dark souls rolling in plass>shitty bdsp demake still sells more anywaypathetic
>>58274120it turns out that the bitter puckered assholes relegated to a 4chan schizo containment board, who mostly play fanfic metas on a twenty year old emulator and havent bought or played anything pokemon related in decades, don't represent a significant portion of pokemons market baseweird
This shit is why we won't get better games and will comtinue getting expensive DLC. Doesn't matter how good or bad, it still prints money.>>58274132I just waited for the local library to have it for that purpose.
>>58274120No human being in history has ever cited the graphics as the reason they buy a new Pokémon game.
