Why Pokemon Violet is Likely to Outsell Pokemon Scarlet

Game Rant Writes "Pokemon Scarlet and Violet may be repeating a trend that encompasses most mainline entries, leading to the latter outselling the former."

I wish they'd stop making two versions lol.

Yeah like I understood back then, to use the link cable and trade with friends but with mostly everyone having online now with easy trading and the like, there's no point any more.

Also getting your smaller Gameboy out in public wasn't as bad as taking your entire Switch out, least with the Gameboys you could put them in your coat pocket or something away from prying eyes but with how crime is these days it just feels worrying in some places, last thing you want is someone knowing you have an expensive Switch on you, not like you can quickly conceal it in your pocket like a phone. Also the Switch seems easier to damage, this is why I keep mine at home.

I wouldn't care much if they still had a third version, a complete version which released a year later so I could sit back and wait to get that instead but they don't even do that anymore, now it's all about DLC, maybe a direct sequel or spin off games.

and miss out on suckers buying both version at $60 a pop? Nintendo is crazy, but not stupid.

The wheels look better on a bike, not a dragon. The red version looks weird.

I have always wondered on why people don't complain about the two versions of pokemon and their EXTREMELY minor differences.

I mean God forbid, they actually implement these mechanics in a single game with a menu option 🤣

I actually agree with you. Ive always found it dumb. To top it off the minor differences net them so much more because i bet pokemon fans buy both on alot of occasions

They love to milk trash, Custom Robo Arena was/is a far better game.

Funny enough they did just this earlier this year with legends. It was amazing only having one game with ways to evolve trade pokemon in game with out the need for another player.

Koraidon - Lizard pretending to be a bike

ones a bike

ones a dragon with a wheel that he doesnt even use ha.
while i like the scarlet one more, its definitely alot more stupid.

i wish we'd just have one edition. the differences are just not big enough

The two SKUs thing is so ridiculous.
