Goodluck with that, Pokemon black has been £20-29 2nd hand in the uk for almost 2yrs now. I had to bite the bullet and just buy it at that price.

Pokemon is doomed

Pretty good sales if you ask me. I won't be picking it up though. I will probably skip this generation unless they release pokemon gray or something of that nature for the 3DS.

Pokemon popularity has been dying with eah generation

Agree that it bombed.

I told Nintendo to make a pokemon 3DS title instead, but noo they wanted to put it on the old platform.

Also another pomkeon game conquest or whatever ti was come out recently.

Not only is that outdated (Black and White is at 14.07 million). But you clearly don't know what the word each means. It's been dying each generation.... except that generation where it increased by over 3million.

Bad Pokemon Franchise! Bad!

*Cracks Knuckles*

B&W has sold over 2.5 million more since then. If B&W2 can manage somewhere around 9 mil -- very high, but not out of the question -- there will be a very visible growth in the franchise since third gen. If it manages around 11 mil, there will be consistent growth through the past 2 gens.

First of all, Gen IV outsold Gen III, as you can see there. Second of all, Black and White haven't been out that long, so it's not an apples-and-apples comparison. Third of all, that information is outdated by a whole year.

By the end of 2007, a year and a quarter after the release of Diamond and Pearl, it had sold 13 million. Black and White, at the end of 2011 (a year and a quarter after release), had sold 13.6 million copies. So in fact, Black and White is ahead of Diamond and Pearl.

So in fact, Pokemon is getting stronger with each generation, since Gen III.

First, that chart is old.

Second, B&W were at the end of a generation.

Third, people really missed out on those Ruby and Sapphire games!
