If u are too lazy to watch the video here it is:





Whenever a new Pokémon game comes out it becomes 1st place and when it gets old it dies out

[thatperson]

Nobody:

Pokémon when a new game comes out: allow us to introduce ourselves

[kahuza]

When a pokemon game starts to fail they just release a new one

[GreyWolfLeaderTW]

Everytime a Pokemon game comes out, its like watching Goku going super-saiyan again.

[squaremaskboi]

imagine the updated version with 2020 and watching Animal Crossing New Horizons suddenly comming out of nowhere and destroying almost every switch game

[retorique]

WiiU barely made a dent on the graphs on launch, but it did surprisingly better than I expected with Mario Kart 8, Smash and Splatoon. I thought that it would barely show up at the bottom.

[Chamushgoo]

It was mesmerizing to watch the numbers fly around but a really cool video!

The switch stomping everything hard in the end


long live the switch

[nindieredd]

Pokemon: I’m on the top of my graph.
Nintendo switch: *our graph*

[liran]

Pokemon when a new game came out: i'll take the crown thank you

[MoonCobalt]

I love how Pokemon Sun and Moon was far ahead of all other games and then the switch came out lol.

[alekeihero]

The DS Took Down GBA Games
The Wii Games Took Down DS (Some)
The DS Games Were No Longer After 2013
And The Switch Games Came Supreme After 2017
3DS Games Where There Until Early 2019..
And Guess What.. Pokemon Wasn't The Top Game Of Switch!!




*Long Live Ultimate!*

[burakalp]

I love how when a new console comes out that consoles games immediatly shoot up into Top 10 but when the Wii U launched the Wii and 3DS games weren't going anywhere

[nedspeed]

Only Pokemon can be replaced by itself.

[woopro]

I like how everytime a new pokemon game comes out, it just dominates
