>best mainline game>worst salesWhy?
>>58730609That’s the best selling enhanced version retard. The worst selling game is crystal, which is fitting considering gen 2 is objectively the worst
Maybe they weren't the best mainline games.
>>58730663Name one fucking better game
>>58730672All the others.
>>58730672the entirety of gen 4the entirety of gen 7emeraldand at least 6 more games
>>58730672Two region, follow Pokemon, Stellar Post Game, most accurate Pedometerhttps://archive.news.iastate.edu/news/2011/apr/Pokewalker
>>58730609only bw1 have the “worst sales” (lol 15+ million) and it’s still barely less than a million than the games surrounding it.
Sales isn’t a good reference for success, especially in this franchiseUnless you really do think SV and swoosh are the pinnacle of the series
>>58730672Any of the other games that sold better.
>>58730687>the entirety of gen 4Diamond and Pearl are flat out trash that needed Platinum to redeem them.
>>58730672There is none. BW2 is objectively the most polished and complete games. One can arguably make a case for Plat because Sinnoh is perhaps conceptually richer, has the best story climax and slightly more sophisticated difficulty; but nothing else comes close to the ultimate games of the DS golden age.
>>58730609It was not advertised enough.
>>58730609the fact that you need to keep claiming it’s the best yet can never give a single specific reason how probably has something to do with it
>>58730614FPBP
>>58730672HGSS
>>58731218Fellas... the DS era was the second best time to be a Pokemon fan, behind Pokemania. All the games were so good. Even D/P.>>58732233Give me a proper reason why B2W2 are bad that doesn't involve meme shit like berries.
>>58732242Give me a proper reason why B2W2 are good that doesn't involve meme shit like PWT.
>>58732242>meme shit like berriesNTA but you can get berries in B2W2, unlike BW.
>>58732242the first Pokémon game to have confirmed faggots in it (Marlon and Elesa)
>>58730609who bumped this dogshit thread. if you thinnk gen 5 'flopped' youre either a retarded genwar schizo or a unovafag with a perpetual victim complex. bw had softer sales because they came out at the end of the ds's life when everyone was expecting a 3d pokemon game
>>58730609HGSS sold well enough though?
>>58732262>bw had softer sales because they came out at the end of the ds's life when everyone was expecting a 3d pokemon gamealso because it was a mediocre game
>>58732253Give me a proper reason why B2W2 is bad that doesn't involve you admitting defeat, or meme shit like berries.>>58732262Yawnfag hates it when his shitty threads are at the bottom of the catalog, enough that he invented his own boogeyman. Which doesn't even work because who he calls Sagefag can genuinely be anybody. Yawnfag's posting style on the other hand is incredibly obvious.
>>58730609people were mad there was no way to get charizard in the main story
>>58732280Give me a proper reason why B2W2 are good that doesn't involve meme shit like PWT.
>>58730672Rayman 3
>>58730609The DS was one of the best selling consoles of all time, nobody cared about BW or BW2 because it had zero (0) innovation. It was more of the same and people had standards, only revisionists spent years screeching about "the holy trinity". BW/BW2 had the least impact in the history of the entire series.
For me, these games came out right at an age where I was 2 cool for pokemon, and I didn't really give them much time. I replayed white 2 recently and I was floored at how much shit I missed.t. 2000
>>58732258All headcanons
>he's become so mindbroken he's begun to parrot himselfIs that technically admitting defeat?
>>58732299Sagefag does that pretty often
>>58732295Marlon and Elesa look for shops run by owners of the same sex at Join Avenue. That's a pretty fuckin' heavy implication
>>58732258Also the man who dresses as a female daycare worker so he can groom kids
>>58732302Yes we know you parrot all the time Yawnfag. You're too stupid to realize it so you keep going despite the fact that you've lost. And you will always lose. Meanwhile I will still be enjoying Gen 5.
>>58732280The fact that they picked the worst possible way to animate pixel art.The fact that the Unova dex in general has retardedly high evolution levels, meaning you'll probably go into the Elite Four with a team of unevolved shitmons. The fact that the Pokestar Studios side game is forced on the player instead of being a cool little optional thing like it should be.The fact that the game's mapping is incredibly sloppy, with tons of tile errors.The fact that the majority of dialog is reused from BW, causing the game to feel like a rehash instead of a proper sequel.The fact that despite having overworld sprites for all the Pokemon, following Pokemon were not implemented despite being a universally beloved feature in HGSS.I could go on and on.
>>58732337and yet Sagefag always ends up being the one who parrots first. Strange.>Meanwhile I will still be enjoying Gen 5.No one said you can’t enjoy low quality products.
>>58732310KEEEK do troonovans really?
>>58732354No one says this lol.
>>58732381>N-NUH UH!
>>58732381I do
>>5873226612 millions
>>58730609Third versions dont sell, let alone a sequel
>>58730609because bw were so lame that absolutely nobody was excited for their sequels... which is a shame because that was the last time gf put any fucking effort in their games
>>58732790>which is a shame because that was the last time gf put any fucking effort in their gamesReally? It sure doesn't show.
>>58730609b2w2 is the gen 5 game for people who hate gen 5.
>>58730609Consomers are retarded. If they were smart then the third versions and spinoffs would sell while paired garbage wouldn't.
>>58732836Yep, only game where each gym has a personalized theme btw
>>58730609Because the common masses only care about Charizard, Pikachu, Eevee and Lucario, and this game only had Eevee and Lucario obtainable.
>>58732269Incorrect, most genwar schizos are Johto and Kalos fans
>>58732233>"it's the best!!!!"It doesn't have ribbons, berry farming, or the buttsex frontier. That alone shuts up all of the borts.
>>58733008Medals > Ribbons (that are still in the game btw). You can buy berries and PWT is the equivalent of the BF.
>>58732233hi yawnfag
>>58733018>worse thing > better thing>worse thing is equivalent to better thingcompelling argument
>>587306093rd versions always sell worse. Even though these are sequels, that's not how most casuals see them.
>>58732237/thread
>critical comments towards gen5 removedkwab
>>58730609Because it was a DS game that came out a year and a half AFTER the 3DS came out.
The actual reason is because it came out at the ass end of the DS lifespan where emulation was easier than it had ever been. It's more annoying that people go lmfao Gen 5 as a whole sold the least and then you look it up and its like a grand total of 1m less than the gen before it or something
>>58730609Goyim.
>>58734240Wait until you find out the 3DS can play DS games.
