    Pokemon is the highest grossing franchise in history.

    They don't really have a choice, Game Freak is a partner and co-owner of Pokemon and I doubt they are gonna sell their stake to Nintendo when it's such a lucrative IP lmao.

    Oh and Sword/Shield is gonna sell like 14+ mil LTD by time the gen is over(and that's conservative even looking at X/Y sales). The fact you guys think Game Freak is ever gonna hand over the main franchise to another developer is hilarious. They will continue to shovel out low budget Pokemon games that make back their budget hundreds of times over.

    Hell for the next gen they will likely revert dexit, call it a new feature and you all will buy it up and make it even more successful when Sword/Shield lmao.

    I can't honestly believe people think this game is gonna bomb. It's gonna top the November NPD(CoD launched in Oct so it's only competition is Death Stranding/Star Wars which won't outsell Pokemon), it's gonna top mediacreate in Japan for multiple weeks, it will def top charts in UK to. This ain't gonna lose Nintendo any money lol.

Its missing a lot of features and shows horrible coding everywhere you look. You can't even trade with other players across the world anymore, just putting even more of a highlight to gamefreaks lack of ability this time around.

    They have not been having success as a company publishing games recently. The only question is, what is Nintendo doing? If this keeps up, pokemon won't be the system mover that it once was. Its already going to be a hard sell during the next games because of this.

    the fact that you don't think this game will be successful shows high levels of delusion. it is going to make them money hand over fist. there is no world where it doesnt. in a few days you will know how very wrong you were.

    It’s Pokémon. Parents will get it for their kids without even looking as a Christmas gift. Game Freak could literally take a dump, put a bow on it along with a $60 price tag, name it pokemon and it would sell better than hot cakes.

    You’re deluded if you think this isn’t going to sell millions and be a major financial success.

    It will make money and lots of it because pokemon alone is a massive name.

    That doesnt mean that interest in the west will go down from another irrelevant title that relies on brand recognition from a once popular TV show. And offers nothing new.

    I mean they could literally start making pokemon based off of human excrement and it would still make money in Japan, but you keep shoveling shit people will lose interest in the brand long term.

    The vast majority give ZERO fuck's about the "issues" the game has. While its a small sample size my tiny store has over 100 reserves between Sword,Shield and the Double pack.

    No one is loosing interest, I have people almost daily coming in buying Pokemon Merch/Cards.

    The TV show is still popular,The game is going to sell like crazy. I'm doing the midnight release and fully expect at least half of the reserves to show up just tonight.

    Must say I got a little urge for pokemon sword&shield not that exited to pay 350$ for the switch to play one or two games though when I got a ps4 pro and a gaming pc.

    Perhaps black Friday will have some sweet switch deals.

    Yeah just started looking, would you say the original or lite version is the best pick? Or is there more versions?

    Alright thanks man.

    Got a Switch about a month ago. I'm enjoying Tetris99 but sometimes you simply get too much garbage lines from several players at the same time and there's literally nothing u can do but lose. Highest position so far is #6.
    The NES and SNES games are a nice free addition, does anyone know when more games will be added?
    I also put some money on my Nintendo account, but I have this ridiculous first world problem where I simply cannot choose what game to get next. There's so much to choose from! What's a good game to to play local coop with my GF? She's not a gamer so it should be rather casual.

    I just wonder how replayable the post story content is for Sword.

    Really considering grabbing a copy tonight, Will give me a reason to play my Switch outside of playing DBD.

    The "raid boss" fight thing seems kinda cool

    You mean like literally every amazon order ever? Hell even when they ship via UPS and I can see via my UPS account a precise 2 hour delivery window their shit still says this.

    It's basically there way of saying "don't contact us until the next day if it's not there" to stop fools from spamming them cause it's 4 pm and their shit ain't there yet.
