Yeah I know rofl but I don't have data regarding how well the GB was doing in the same point in time.

And yeah of course I do O.o I'm baffled people expect so much for Pokémon X/Y.

Weren't you around when no one liked nor wanted Pokemon Sapphire and Ruby?

People actually want this game.

I wanted it lol I bought it day one! It was the last one I was excited for though.

And people on the internet sure want it but will it appeal to the casuals the way previous Pokémon games have?

I mean there's not an extremely popular anime this time around or trading cards to collect. That alone acted as indirect marketing for any new game coming out.

I'm not sure nowadays a kid younger than 12 years old knows what Pokémon is.

And so when he walks into the store will he really stop in front on Pokémon X/Y and want to buy it right away?

I'm just doubtful it's the same as 10 years ago.
