No even then it wasn't that big. In fact Metroid Zero Mision sold about as much as Prime did there.
But back with what you said about advertising. You gotta remember Pokemon IS a product. And sales depend on appeal to the audience. Bigger audience = bigger sales. Not everyone is a hardcore gamer. People are dumb. They want something they can look at and feel comfortable with.
That's where simple designs kick in.

pokemon other than the starters and legendaries are hardly used for advertising anyway
AKA: pokemon designs dont need to be simple, and if they did it would only need to be the starters
also this argument about which pokemon have better designs, the simple ones form the first two gens with not as much thought to them or the ones from 3rd and 4th and 5th that have better, more imaginitive, intricate deisgns

trying not to get too involved, but I've never heard anyone say "Wowza, that character looks so plain! I totally gotta get that game!"
One of my best friends got into pokemon only in the 3rd generation because the earlier designs looked "lame" and the new 'mons he liked (like torchic and claydol) looked "way more inventive"

claydol owns so hard, literally one of the coolest looking pokemon

Yep! I wouldn't mind having a theme team of all the 'ancient ruins' type Pokémon.
Solrock, Lunatone, Claydol, Regirock/ice/steel, Relicanth and some Fossils.
It would be an awful team, but so much fun.
RE: [split] durr hee hee dogs - water dog - 05-20-2010
i love relicanth : -)
RE: [split] durr hee hee dogs - Sol - 05-20-2010
I think I might make a team entirely out of solrocks sometime
because, well
solrocks

You gotta consider that males and college dudes aren't the only people playing Pokemon.
You may ask those guys what are their favorite Pokemon VS a younger or female audience.
Pikachu was a brilliant design. His color, yellow, stands out as an attractive color. His round red cheeks stand out giving him a delightful disposition. His zig-zag tail inform you what powers this Pokemon has.
It was really good! No wonder it was picked as the mascot character.

I came here expecting dogs, not arguments. I will have my fucking dogs, and your bullshit arguing can't stop it.
