In my opinion, it's not a lot, if only by a couple of millions, company-wise (of course, I'd LOVE to have millions of people buy some products from smaller businesses).Nandin Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186285507912182255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-39784399331653810162017-02-26T23:59:30.104-05:002017-02-26T23:59:30.104-05:00If it weren't for Pokémon GO, honestly, Pokémo...If it weren't for Pokémon GO, honestly, Pokémon Sun and Moon would... still come out.<br /><br />The thing is, however, no one else would've been willing to research for an original Pokémon game.<br /><br />I also believe that Pokémon 20 contributed IMMENSELY towards its success!Nandin Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186285507912182255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-5272298094213155122017-02-12T20:29:42.505-05:002017-02-12T20:29:42.505-05:00So now I'd like for you to produce data sugges...So now I'd like for you to produce data suggesting that.<br />First, that <i>Pokémon GO</i> had a sizable number of newcomers to the series, and then they purchased a 3DS, and then waited for the new game.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-52166995736618998052017-02-12T17:28:13.373-05:002017-02-12T17:28:13.373-05:00It's also possible, though, that newcomers to ...It's also possible, though, that newcomers to the series who got interested because of Pokémon Go found out that a brand new game was coming soon and decided to wait for it, to make Sun/Moon the first main-series Pokémon game they tried.

Remember, Kimishima's statement also means these GO-ers wouldn't have even purchased the Virtual Console version of <i>Red</i>, <i>Blue</i>, or <i>Yellow</i>! And surely these GO-ers know how digital storefronts like the eShop work — after all, they're normally iOS users (or Android).<br /><br />It's more likely that <i>Pokémon GO</i> increased the interest in Pokémon in general among people who already owned a 3DS or were inclined to, and so the people who own a 3DS but not a Pokémon game (aka most 3DS owners) might've been the reason for the increased sales.<br /><br /><br />Yes, I'm that determined to delegitimise <i>Pokémon GO</i> and/or its fanbase.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-53856333257846864812017-02-06T09:24:26.583-05:002017-02-06T09:24:26.583-05:00I do think Pokémon Go helped Sun and Moon's sa...I do think Pokémon Go helped Sun and Moon's sales. When Pokémon Go came out, suddenly Pokémon was a major phenomenon again. People who never talked about it before were playing Pokémon Go, and I think they'd have to be at least a little intrigued when they heard about another Pokémon.<br /><br />Another thing I think helped is how Sun and Moon made a point of being <em>different.</em> The trials, the new battle features, even the graphics/style (one of my friends commented right away that the characters look proportional now) made them look fresh and different, instead of just another Pokémon game. I have friends who haven't played a Pokémon game in years, who got Sun/Moon because it seemed so much more impressive to them.Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-23925867497993703672017-02-05T09:59:19.465-05:002017-02-05T09:59:19.465-05:00It's total lifetime sales.
