Hopefully you're not unironically posting this image
No.
No. Nintendo has never released VC numbers, nor included them in the LTD numbers of prior releases. They're considered separate from their retail releases.
Dunno why they'd get angry. It's Pokemon, what do they expect?Like the people un-ironically angry at the news? They're here, they're on this board, they're in this thread.

You weren't me in 2019. I'm enjoying this after all the shit and even death threats that I got just for posting news about the game and explaining that no, the random youtuber who sprouted up on negativity doesn't know a god damn thing about anything and things work a different way.There's nothing wrong with criticism and negativity. It's okay that some people don't like the same games as you do.
I don't think people who don't enjoy a game usually go in a thread about it doing well just to shit on it. That's some next level negativity.There's nothing wrong with criticism and negativity. It's okay that some people don't like the same games as you do.

Is this post sarcastic?Congratulations to them, but these numbers aren't as strong as they may seem at first.
Sw/Sh took Pokémon from ~17m to 23m, which is on the small side for a Switch bump.
Zelda went from 8m (highest) or 4m (latest) to circa 25m with Breath of the Wild, at least a 3x multiplier
Mario Kart 8D beat their previous Wii bundle-fueled 37m record already, and doubled Mario Kart 7/DS sales numbers.
Super Mario Odyssey cracked 23m, almost doubling Mario Galaxy and 3D Land numbers and even further ahead of Sunshine, 3D World, Galaxy 2
Animal Crossing reorganized society and sold about three times as much as New Leaf
Smash Ultimate at 27m has more than doubled Brawl at 13m or the two Smash 4 SKUs put together.
Even games like Splatoon 2 and Luigi's Mansion 3 are more than doubling their previous sales records.
So the "Switch bump" for all Nintendo franchises seems to be at least a 2x multiplier, and sometimes a more than 3x multiplier like for Zelda and Animal Crossing - game quality really matters.
Pokémon's anemic sales of about 1.4x their recent numbers are a cause for concern. Pokémon Legends: Arceus was not an accident; it's obviously not the move of a company that's happy with their sales trajectory. I appreciate your passion for Sw/Sh Joe, but I don't think anyone at the Pokémon Company was popping champagne at these sales numbers, they were weak enough to awaken GameFreak from their slumber and drive them to do something as crazy as Arceus to lay the groundwork for a bigger jump for the franchise in the future.
