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.

Just Pre-Order it. Everyone has a first time.

OT: Not Godly. Hit me up when the final numbers are out. Then I might be extremely impressed.

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.

wattt? For real! anywayz wat do you think it will sell then this year?

Pokemon Gold and Silver weren't on the GameBoy Advance.

Also, 15 Million is not the best prediction, Boutros. You expect it to do less than Sapphire/Ruby?

Because they're the far superior games, and as we all know, quality is what sells!

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.
