39/51, ~80% success rate.
Bear in mind that a lot of people who sign up for groups, vote negatively in polls, and even write out explanations of why they're not buying the game are just letting off steam about a game they're disatisfied with, and not necesarilly indicative of all boycotters. It's pretty rude to deny others that outlet by saying, Nope, boycotts are ineffective, too bad, can't do nothing. Boycotts are probably ineffective on a large scale, but they can and do work for individuals. (And sometimes only as a story to make them feel better.)
e: But sure, if the goal is to reduce such a large chunk of sales or stop sales, they're delusional. I don't think the largest audience even knows exactly what they're buying beyond Pokemon.

Note: It should be obvious which games I grew up playing.
Snivy is one of the best starters. Just look at that adorable smug lil’ snake.
In fact, all the Gen V starters have wonderful first forms, and Snivy/Oshawott’s evos are pretty dang good.
Tepig’s are kinda bleh though.
But y’know, I’ll say it. I’m not scared. Gen V is a tippity-top tier gen when it comes to cute starters and Snivy/Oshawott are very high on my rankings.
Charmander is, in my opinion, overrated. Least cute of the Gen 1 starters and Charizard isn’t really that cool.
Charmeleon is also the worst second form of the starters.
Trubbish is absolutely adorable. He is my garbage boy.
Maybe it’s just nostalgia but I kinda miss the 2D sprite based aesthetic.
Not an unpopular opinion:
V I C T I N I
and S H A Y M I N
They’re well liked and still, somehow, underrated.
Stats can get outta my face. If I have to choose between a perfectly min-maxed Pokémon or my terrible starter, I’m choosing my starter.
I mean, this probably isn’t an unpopular opinion either, now that I think about it. Min-maxers might just be more prevalent online. I dunno.

My favorite part was how, up until the end, you, a child, was left out of most of the action and the "adults" were trying to get things fixed while you just focused on the gym challenge. A lot of people seem to not like that, but I felt it made it was a more realistic reaction on the part of adults or older siblings.
Now, only if the games would let me bring in my living dex collection, then it would be nearly perfect.

Imperial States of Duotona
Duotona is a nation nestled in the Pacific Ocean. Marked by the scars of its bloody past, the people of Duotona persist and have given the nation a voice from which it preaches the word of peace and democracy across the globe!
Nation reflects OOC views. NS stats are sent to the shadow realm.
My Carrd, for where else I lurk online.

Have fun with Ultra Necrozma~
The only battle that's IIRC considered an exception for Nuzlocke players.
