Today, Nintendo announced that Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are officially the best pre-selling games in Nintendo history. Additionally, the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version is the most downloaded demo on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in Nintendo History!

With the launch of the first Pokémon video games 20 years ago, the Pokémon brand quickly became a global sensation and hasn’t left popular culture since. The Pokémon brand’s 20-year celebration in 2016 has ignited fans’ passion for the beloved franchise across the country and around the world with a wide variety of initiatives and new launches. As part of this banner year for the iconic franchise, video game players are no doubt anticipating the launch of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS games, Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, on November 18.

Wow, that's amazing. Will Sun/Moon beat X/Y as best-selling day one Pokemon games?

You know it deserves the GOTY.

And there is still what?3 weeks to go?That is some impressive news!

People keep subestimating the effect that Pokemon GO had in the Pokemon franchise in general and to a extent, the 3DS.If Super Mario Run and the subsequent mobile games that Nintendo releases has the same effect, we could see some big growth in hardware sales and a good revitalization of the game franchises

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Crazy. I played the demo and wasn't crazy about it. I'll probably pick one of these titles up eventually but Ill skip day one.

WOW...
I have to admit that I'm more interested in the boost on hardware sales by the game, than in the sales of game itself,,,

Pokemon Go hype, plus this game actually looks pretty damn good. I haven't seen these many improvements in a generation since R/B/Y -> G/S/C.
