A million copies in one day?! I remember previous ones taking a day or two to hit seven digits, but that's amazing.

I was telling my dad about this earlier. He said he never thought the series would have stayed popular for this long. Oh dad, how little you know. He did laugh when I explained Team Plasma to him though.

"So N releases all his Pokemon after he uses them? Well he's just an idiot. Ya go through all the trouble to catch em and raise em and then ya just let em go?"

A lot more

Anyways this was something that fans wanted to see in Pokémon, I'm sure that if they continued to do that it would be immortalized forever. Hopefully they allow some evolutions for the old generatons in the next Generation.

I can honestly say this game was worth it in every aspect . It gave a fresh sense of beginning since only Generation V Pokemon could be caught.

That's a lot of games sold in one day alone. This prove that Pokemon will still popular throughout the future.

0_0 That's quite an accomplishment. It must be because of the reviews the games got while they were still in Japanese.

That's pretty awesome, and the games deserve it! Nintendo really went all-out with advertising and events and such.
