Biggest UK Pokémon Mainline Game Launches – Revenue (GfK Entertainment data)
The most important aspect of Pokemon is the battle mechanics + breeding optimizations. As long as it stays good and improve every generation (which it does since XY) it will guarantee to sell well. Proves that internet boycott is a fad just like every other CoD, FIFA and NBA, GTA V (shark cards controversy), boycott is ultimately useless.
My favorite gym leader from Pokemon Violet and Scarlet is Lono the electric gym leader and streamer. Her dialogue was written perfectly and the gym test was better then the others I’ve done so far.
Seeing Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet so high on this list is disappointing. The games get worse while the sales keep on getting better

Wal mart employees tend to suck. I was falsely accused of stealing pokemon shining pearl.
