So I happened to stumble upon a video that shows off the Pokemon games by how much they sold, and I thought it might be an interesting video to share.
The top 4 selling titles, RB, GS, SwSh, and DP were the debut games for their generations, as well as the primary debut of the Pokemon games on a specific console, the latter reason probably being why DP sold so much, thanks to the Nintendo DS's huge success. Although in SwSh's case it is the second since LGPE came first.
Legend Arceus being barley above Crystal, is surprising, but being a standalone titles means less sales for what is more or less two identical games. Makes me wonder how much Pokemon games sell on their own when not counted together. Its still new, so there is probably going to be update, highly doubt it is going to be on the same level as SwSh.
Remakes sell less than the original games of the generation.
For a game that was only in the spotlight for two months, BDSP sold really well, beating HGSS. Thev holiday sales must have contributed to it.

Any other thoughts or observations?
