It's going to be Pok

I really don't know what the Japanese would do without pokemon. Digimon perhaps?

Wonderful! I don't play Pokemon, but It makes me grin...

Wait! What do I say? I recently got Pok

Thats nuts by next week there will be 2 more million sellers for the ds maybe 3 if FFIII makes it over the million mark. It just insane in Japan I love it.

looks like pokemon is gonna take over the world again!! personally ive been a fan since the red and blue days so i will be picking up these two babies aswell. shame about the wait though for a european conversion.

I swear to god they NEED to bring them over to the west and SOON! WE NEED POKEMON!

i predict the same with Wii

Don't forget Tetris DS 906k units sold so far as well as Mario 64, Wario Ware and the Pokemon spinoffs.

All is great for Nintendo.

What i find more amazing is that is has managed to outsell it's predecessors and Pokemon isn't as big as it used to be

The last pokemon game I bought was silver...no wait i bought gold aswell after that thinking it was an all new storyline...but i was only 8

Pokemon =

It's still that big in Japan.

Ahh Pok

What's the fastest selling game in Japan?

*can't wait*

Awesome.

Its still that big in Japan.

It's big alright but not nowhere as big as it used, the new Pokemon movie only hit no.2 in the movie charts and for a pokemon movie they usually are no.1 and for a while and back in the day you could fucking buy Pikachu bog roll.

Pok

I am not surprised i really expected figures like that after pokemon is really popular in Japan. But im not really sure if i'll get this one though. Im considering it, but i did grow tired of playing Pokemon once the GBA versions hit. So lets see if i end up changing my mind. Sigh ( i cant wait for FF III)

In Japan, there are NINE movies!!In UK, the 6th one is yet to come out! Make me mad it does!

This is good. I think it might be because or the first time ever, Pokemon has given something new to the series. R/S wasn't really a step up, but I've had the fortune to play Diamond, and it is aoy to play, even in another language.

I didnt even know the 5th one was out! I havent even seen the 4th one yet... I can never be bothered to pay for it. I cant imagine them getting any better than the second one anyway ^^;

the 6th Movie is corny at times, as is the 5th, but they're all good. The worst one (IMO) is prolly the 5th or 3rd, the 5th is really short for a movie, feels more like an OVA...

But the 4th movie is uber wicked Although it, too, gets corny

OH SHIT!! THEY'RE ALL CORNY!! Oh well, it's a children's Anime, there aren't many of 'em
