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.


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


lol no. But Nintendo finally saw the beautiful sea on digital sales. Fire Emblem/Animal Crossing ftw



So they're not going all digital and I will be able to walk into a store and buy this game. OK!

Why would it sell more than Pokémon Gold/Silver?

i dont think it will,im just hoping it do 20mil(i want it, i dont expect it easily). to answer your question, if you been following pokemon, not just the names and gens but the whole franchise you know this gen has so much to offer it rivals the first 2 generations in terms of gameplay! The 3D world is a major improvement, but its much more to that. just look at pre orders! This game might break records, especially in Japan

Bar Japan, the Pokémon franchise is nowhere near as popular as it used to be and the 3DS isn't doing as good as the GBA or the DS were doing. I would be surprised if Pokémon X/Y sells more than 15 million.
