That's just my prediction based on the preorder numbers on vgchartz and its position on Amazon. In terms of hype, no idea since I don't know anyone who plays Pokemon games.

Wait, really? Not a single person? That is somewhat unusual, almost impossible if you ask me. Everyone knows someone, that group of people, who plays Pokemon. Unless you're like 55, I guess. 

But still, I wouldn't consider pre-orders for Pokemon really. As Black and White pretty much doubled preorders every week for over a month, so it should pick up soon. But yeah, it's not preorder happy. I mean, I haven't preordered it and I preorder almost anything.

I would judge your prediction on the performance of other games in the series as opposed to the trends you're seeing from Amazon and the like on this case. And that leads you to believe that Pokemon will do pretty darn well.


Not one single person. Every gamer I know is a console and/or pc gamer. My little nephews have been raised on the PS systems. Others are of the smartphone generations.

And Pokemon B&W added 12,000 preorders 11 weeks before release compared to the 5,700 that X/Y added with the same number of weeks to go. As of right now, X/Y is tracking more than 10% behind B/W with the difference likely to increase next week.


I think you mean that you know of, because if no one you know plays pokemon that means you don't know very many people.  I know someone who is a PC gamer who buys Nintendo handhelds solely for pokemon.
