The problem is that the two definitions of flop coexist. The regular one which is it selling bad, which it outright didn't; and the /vp/ one which is when you don't like a game, which is subjective.
Its impossible to have an honest conversation because we can't agree on what the conversation will be about.
/vp/ insists LGPE sold good though, so not beating it wouldn't be a flop.
Define flop. If you mean "failed to make a profit" then I have to diagnose you with severe ignorance. If you mean that it did not reach the highs of its associated games, then I have to say it comes down to the fact that BDSP not only had two versions to boost its numbers (theres a reason why 3rd versions sell significantly less) on top of being a heavily demanded remake since ORAS, but also it released 2 months before Legends Arceus. Not that many people are willing to buy pokemon games back-to-back. Legends was overshadowed despite the high praises online. Atleast, thats how I see it in retrospect.
Maybe it would have done better if it didn't come out after the shit stain that was SWSH. Probably killed a lot of people's trust that Game Freak could make a decent game.
I'd recommend you to take off the "PLA flopped simulator" VR headset.
>13 million
>Couldn't even surpass LGPE, a zero effort remake of a remake
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHH

>sold less than a copy pasted game contracted out to a third party, which was made in a year
yea, it flopped.
Daily reminder
This kills the SV shill and his garbage pozzed game
>former looks like some tryhard edgime cancer
>second looks like pokemon
Wow!
>pokemon is supposed to look bad
What did xe mean by this?
>b-but SV
Cope.
>i-it only has one version which totally matters!
Cope.
I-It was reversed review bombed by Sinnohfanboys so it's not actually a flop
Cope.
STOP TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT MAKE ME UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!!
Cope.
>G-Gamefreak was trying something new for the 7th time! Cut them some slack!
Cope.
All cope.
>everything else is cope but my cope

>STOP REVEALING MY INTENTIONS WHENEVER I POST REEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
>failed to outsell LGPE
>LGPE 15 million lifetime sales
>PLA 13.7 million in its first year
Yea I don’t think the PLA fans are the ones coping.
Because there was only one version. If these were Pokémon Legends: Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan, they'd be up at the top.
Its the best acclaimed pokemon game in a decade or more
Loved by critics, players, has had multiple awards and nominations
N64 graphics
the only 3D Pokémon game that doesnt look like an N64 game is Let's Go.
Enough about SWSH
But OP isn’t talking about Scarlet and Violet.
Get back on topic, knuckleheads. The thread clearly says Pokemon Legends: Arceus. I oughta wack the both of you with a leek.
Lets admit it. All you want are (You)s. What other reason do you need that pushes you to make 10 of these threads in a day, right?
It's an experimental game without a-lot to do
Black person
You are fricking
Stupid

>STOP ASKING FOR ME TO MAKE AN ARGUMENT!!! LET ME SEETHE ON A THREAD I DIDNT HAVE TO ENTER!!!
>I MADE A THREAD TO MAKE PEOPLE SEETHE BUT NOW I'M SEETHING TOO HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN TO ME????????
I wish it had a pokedex update like crown tundra. It's still better than scarlet and violet.

Emerald 7M
Platinum 7M
BW2 8M
USUM 9M
PLA 12M
Meanwhile
RGB 31M
SWSH 24M
LGPE 15M
and SV which will soon surpass SWSH
>USUM 9M
>RGB 31M
The exceptions that prove the rule.

It didn't flop. In fact it was the best pokemon game released since N64 Snap.
it came out in january instead of november
It's extremely boring and annoying to play. The only fun part is fighting Volo and that means trudging through hours of nothing.
