Wow, It still has lots of juice left in it. Cant imagine what a worldwide release would have been like.

Makes sense. Its the next installment in the franchise at a point with the highest userbase.

i didnt even know B/W was a 2010 game. If 3DS is b/c, itll be my first Pokemon game since Yellow.

wow, gonna get this for sure

Yup, and with the 3DS or DSi you can video chat with your friends or people

[QUOTE="ice144"]It's amazing how much they've done with that game. For one, it actually has a truly interesting story. Not to mention the world is enormous compared to the previous games. There's no way anybody can call this pokemon "just more of the same" imo.funsohng

Completely different! Especially after beating the Elite 4

[spoiler] You still have a lot to deal with Team Plasma after beating the Elite 4 [/spoiler] Plus it has in game Co-Op.

inb4 "lol rehash" I for one hate the new pokemon designs....BUT I like everything else they've done with the game.Shinobishyguy

It's not so bad to be honest, however, I am really mad for they still lack a lot of Fire Type Pokemon.

Plus the Grass starter and their Evolution looks great as well as the water starter. I'm mad that the Fire Starter will be another Fire/Fighting type, I'm sick of that combination.

Pokemon has only been getting better and improving, and I know it's hard for some to believe, but 4th gen Pokemon were the best.

▲ This really isint surprising. The Japanese buying a JRPG? ▲

It has been comfirmed that there will be more than 150 NEW pokemon (I believe they will still have some of the old pokemon, idk) But I am not sure about land.

You mean you haven't seen them?

thats not very high. when there 2 games that every kid buys. halo reach sold better here in 24 hours

For once in the past 5 years I'm actually happy about the huge success of a new Pokemon.

I hope this sends a message to Nintendo that there might be more profit in inproving a franchise. I'm looking at you Animal Crossing.

Umm... You do know that Japan has a smaller population compared to North America?

Do you actaully expect people to buy both versions?

Woah, that's an insane amount.

So, predictions on which system will be the highest selling in japan for the next however long? :P

Do you always have to downtalk everything that doesnt relate to halo or the 360?

Thats impressive numbers for japan. When it releases world wide its going to destory halo even if you divide the sales in half since your saying everyone buys both versions (even tho u dont have to now considering theres online for trading).

I wish i could play the last few pokemon games their so addicting and so many different pokemon to lvl and the online would make it even better than the older ones. :)

I hope you will be as shocked when Black/White outsells Reach in a year or so as Pokemon games usually does.

Yet you are underestimating how popular Pokemon is against Halo despite being different genre's.

Different strokes for different folks

It actaully sold this much in the first two days of its release.

I'll get it once I get the 3DS.tagyhag

What? NO! That's what they want you to do! :cry:

Wow:DThat is an impressive number! And it's well deserved too with all of its dramatic changes.

Meh I dont know. Im rather burned out on Pokemon games because they are all the same behind the new coat of paint, new pokes, and slightly tweaked battle mechanics. If I get a gen 5 game, Im waiting for 'Grey' or whatever the special version will be.

I´m not a fan of the franchise myself but that´s pretty good.

The **** sure do have a different taste in games. Microsoft should release games catered to 10yr olds in Japan and a lot more people would buy the console.

smartcriminal

Please refrain from using that racial slur against the Japanese (which I censored for you) as it is quite offensive.
