The real reason Masuda was sacked
Is he a quarterback? The fuck is sacked.
>>58441499Complete your english lessons and one day you might figure it out, esl retard
>>58441499Fired
It’s insane how with Pokemon, the worse the game is, the better it’ll sell. The worst game in the franchise is the best selling one and then it keeps going down. Let me guess, Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon and Emerald are very low?
>>58441704
>>58441711Alright well bar Crystal and Yellow I was basically right.
>>58441715Crystal is great though. But yeah, the whole chart is basically inverse to quality. With the exception of RGB, and maybe LGPE and BDSP. I do kind of get it with the 3rd version and sequels though. Only diehard fans are going to want to drop money on a game that's so similar to one they bought a year or two earlier, even if they are significantly better. If you add the base game sales with their 3rd versions/sequels, then they come closer to the Switch games.
>>58441481SV really should've performed better but Game Freak sucks ass at making games. The Switch titles for basically every other Nintendo franchise sold the most within their own series by a lot.
>>58441704Yeah. The shitty the game is, the better it sells. HGSS is among the worst selling.Pokemon fags don't want good games
>>58441761The games always have extraneous circumstances for how they sell. RBY and GS have pokemania driving them, Crystal was directly after pokemania died, then the others hover around a consistent baseline up until SwSh and SV, where the Switch’s insane attack rate boosts them. There’s also, you know, a lot more people playing vidya nowadays.
>>58441761Third versions are just honest portrayals of sales data. With a lower percentage than what the base games would've been, they're pretty much proof if you chop Pokemon sales by half you get how much worth the games were
>>58441704>>58442290It seems people just buy the first entry for every region and don't want to bother with enhanced versions or remakes. That's probably why we don't get enhanced versions anymore and the last remake was a quickly scrapped together port in case people didn't like Legends Arceus.
>>58442290HGSS are trash games but you're not ready for that conversation
Why is pokemon black and white seen as bad by gamefreak if it almost performed the same as R&S
>>58441481Wait, I thought Sword and Shield was still the best-selling post-Gen I games? SwSh bros...?
He would have saved us from the Skorts.
>>58442715DS was much more popular hardware.
>>58441670Is he a grill? The fuck is fired.
>>58441711The bottom half of the list is literally all third versions and remakes
>>58443184Canned
>>58443556Is he a sausage? A refried human bean?
>>58441704BW and BW2 are low, Emerald is low. Gen 7 sold well and was trash.
>>58442692>it seemsThat's the key word, seems. In reality, the third versions dominated, and the enhanced remakes were the biggest bites of content. That's why even to this day you still see people playing Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, FRLG, and HGSS.
>>58442710Nor will anyone ever be, because it's a delusion in your head anon, it's not real.
>>58443613they told him to hit the road
>>58443721> people emulating Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, FRLG, and HGSSftfy
>>58442290No, it's that new gens always sell way more than remakes/revisits/3rd versions. And their new gens always tend to be improved on whether with DLC or a 3rd cersion abck in the day. Pokemon consumers value novel experiences
>>58443766>emulatinghere, have a (you), I was obviously referring to physical carts, except for Crystal, whoch only has value as a 3DS Virtual Console.
I just woke ip and I gotta write about a dream I just had.>be dream me>at house with room mate I don't have in real life.>tells me that they made pokemon romancable in za.>no they fucking didn't. >yes they did.>No they fucking DIDN'T >yes they DID.>get into a fist fight, throw him across the room.>break through table with him.>check my phone in the dream.>za protagonist kissing his pokemon.>they did >apologize to my roommate but its too late, hes dead on the floor.>I killed him.>cradle his dead body in my arms and start to cry in the dream.>wake up crying in real life.
>>58443789>romancable>roman cable?>like a cable used by the romans???no, its romanceable, able to be romancedI've only been on this board since the game was leaked early and I swear to got all this fucking amerimutt goblino mystery meat esl is costing me brain cellslearn to spell you absolute fucking retards
>>58441481This is disingenuous cherrypicking. Masuda was forced out during the transition to the 3DS era and none of the 3DS games sold that well. Masuda also didn't get to benefit from the Pokemon Go craze boosting interest in the franchise or the COVID lockdowns getting more people into gaming.
>>58442741Sure, but the DS was on its way out and, like the PSP, had piss-easy piracy by then that even normalfags could figure out how to do. 15.6 million under those circumstances isn't bad at all for post-Pokemania, pre-Go Pokemon. On top of that, B2W2 outsold Crystal, Emerald and Platinum.
>>58444154>none of the 3DS games sold that well>All of them sold better than GBA or DS games>>58444184>B2W2 outsold Crystal, Emerald and Platinum.>The dual release sold better than single versions
>>58441825Only for Mario Kart, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Smash, and 3D Mario. The rest didn't sell like them or Pokemon.
>>58443730He's right tho, Johto is a mediocre region with awful pokemon and typing variety, it gets the praise because it has Kanto in it
>>58443739Is he a Jack? you better get back
