Why is it that all pokemon games are counted twice if two games come out on the same day but have different names/items.  The games should be split up because they don't have the same name...   It feels like this site always wants a nintendo game to be number one in Japan so they put alike games together when really, the games are the same, but they don't sell the same amount of each.  They should be different entries.  Or is it that you just can't have  a PSP game Beat a DS game.  Are you that much of a fanboy VGChartz?  thank you.

You make sense yet again. Who are you?

Accuses VGChartz of bias, insults others, loves Playstation. Any thoughts?

He makes a point/

Yes, but his last few sentences are accusing VGChartz of anti-sony bias.

Uh, no he doesn't make sense. They are not different games. They just swap a few monsters out of hundreds. Everything else is identical from gameplay mechanics to plot, to items. It's two versions of the same game.

I didn't say they were different games naznatips.  I just said how do they get to be bundled together in the same listing when you have to buy them separately, if you  got them together, it'd make sense but the games are two separate names and should be treated as such.  If they were separated CC would have been the no. 1 game last week but they never do that for pokemon titles and I just wanna know why?  Thank you.

It really sucks, doesn't it.

If they don't even warrant separate reviews, how are you going to complain about them not having separate sales?

I didn't say they weren't the same game.  I just want to know, why they don't get separate listing on the sales charts because you don't buy them together you buy one or the other.  I had the same problem with Diamond/Pearl.  They are the same game but some people will go and buy the both of them just to get all of the pokemon, that shouldn't count cuz they're different games.  Thank you.
