Unbelievable. If it has a shot at B/W's record then that's insane! Anyone who predicted less than 1.8m FW clearly wasn't thinking straight :/

Is there a possibility I walk in to a store shortly after X/Y's release and not find a copy of the game? I wasn't able to get Fire Emblem or Luigi's Mansion, but I'd think they'd stock Pokemon better.


Very unlikely. Pokemon is going to be a much sought out game with legs throughout the holidays. They'll make sure to keep some instock.

if any gen can do 20mil, it be this game. I'll be happy with 20mil, but if it does beat gold/silver... THATS AN AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT :0

look at the thread that shows pre orders! Also Remember how hikken was comparing x/y to b/w sales? saying its 20% under? well since it went from 105k to over 170k!

yes! NIntendo is trying to go "all-digital" on 3DS. So maybe you should pre-order


What really!? Wouldn't that piss off retailers, who would then stop selling 3DS's!? o_O

They'll probably sell the game via Download Cards, that way retailers can still sell the digital copies. At least in Japan they will very likely do that.
