NEWS: Pokémon Sword/Shield Become Fastest Switch Games to Sell 6 Million Copies

If anything the controversy probable served as a free advertisement and social awareness campaign that helped sales.

I also found the story fairly decent, much more consistent than SM's (though SM's high points still hit higher) and miles above XY's.

Nice, I'll pick it up if there is no third version of the game as I don't really want to double dip pokemon games. For the possible remake of Diamond/Pearl, I'll only get it if Platinum content is truly in. Not like how they did Ruby/Sapphire on 3DS.

I wonder if they won't save Platinum for the Let's Go Sinnoh remakes. There's precedent for it since they based Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee on Yellow.

Why would they make a Let's Go game for Gen 4? The whole point of Let's Go was to ease people who played Go into the mainstream games with a very simplified and dumber down version of them. It works with Gen 1 because most Go players are older people who grew out of Pokemon after the first gen. Gen 4 holds no real significance to that angle.

We're more likely to just see straight remakes.

I think you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that we wouldn't get straight remakes of Gen 4. What I meant was that the remakes for Gen 4 will be based off of Diamond/Pearl while the Let's Go remake of Gen 4 will be based off of Platinum. Didn't Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee sell over 10 million copies. I can't see them not continuing the series as long as they continue to sell at those numbers. Why would they stop at double dipping on the Gens if they know they can triple dip and still sell 10 million copies.

The most likely reason why the first Lets' go games adapted pokemon yellow is because the first batch of pokemon in pokemon Go were Kanto's 151, and so those are the pokemon that Go players are most likely to already have. Since then they've been putting more mons into Go by generation and are currently on the 5th so it wouldn't make much sense to have the next let's go be one that mainly features mons from the 4th gen.

Easily the dumbest villain in the series. XY had a much better villain and story.

I know that the next Let's Go game will be based on Johto. I was talking about when they get to the Let's Go Sinnoh games. I think their release schedule is going to be something like Gen 4 remakes, Let's Go Johto, Gen 9 and then repeat. It will allow them to double dip on Gens 4-6 while also triple dipping on Gens 2 & 3. If Let's Go Johto doesn't sell for some reason they can always switch back to their old release schedule.

I'd rather have no real villain like in SM .

Ummmm even without having played S&M I know for a fact the Aether Corporation were villains who worked in tandem with Team Skull. They weren't entirely malevolent but they damn sure weren't wholly benevolent either.
