On Saturday, Oct. 12, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y for Nintendo 3DS became the first set of games in franchise history to launch simultaneously worldwide. Nintendo reported today that the games combined to sell more than 4 million units across Japan, Europe and The Americas on Saturday, Oct. 12, and Sunday, Oct. 13.
“The early response to Pokémon X and Pokémon Y not only reaffirms the ongoing passion of Pokémon fans, but also indicates that an entirely new generation of gamers is eager to experience the franchise for itself.”
– Nintendo President Satoru Iwata.
Since this was the first global launch in franchise history, there isn’t an exact historical precedent for comparison. However, when combining and comparing regional data for previous launches, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y would be the fastest-selling Nintendo 3DS games of all time and are tracking ahead of the last Pokémon RPG titles, Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2, by more than 70 percent.
With more than 245 million games sold worldwide, the Pokémon franchise continues to be one of the strongest brands in the history of video games. Since 2002, five sets of Pokémon titles have combined to exceed 10 million units sold to date worldwide, with three sets combining to surpass 15 million units.
X All the way
Hail yea X all the way!!!!
^__^
Y do you think that? HAHAHAHA I’m so funny. Honestly though i picked Y. :)
I just prefer the Pokemon in X. Why did you pick Y?
JEEZ I KNOW IM HOT BUT LAY OFF!! me and all the bitches keep fucking and i got herpes now!! also i accidentally fucked a zombie too!! life is hard being so sexy. just look at my face.
Respect her. Can’t you see she’s sexy?
No.
Coleman Yo avator Looks Like a Dig Dawg.
Those eyebrows freak me out…
Then you’re just a pathetic metrosexual male.
Lmao!
I just prefer the pokemon found in the game. And Mega Mewtwo Y interests me more than Mega Mewtwo X. Mega Charizard X is clearly better, but i still wanted to go with Y.
Buy Both Hobo ass Nig.
How do you know that his name Is Nigel?
i DELIVER his @$$
See, I’m the opposite, the Mega Mewtwo in X interests me more. While I personally like Mega Charizard Y a whole lot more.
See Pokemon Origins
I somewhat thing Mewtwo X looks a little too similar to the original, which is exactly how i feel with Charmander Y. But i guess everyone has personal opinions!
That’s why I like them too!!
I picked Y for no particular reason other than because I thought that everyone was getting X. I was kind of right. Everyone I know, and the people at Gamestop waiting in line got X. Luckily, someone gave me their Charmander with its Charizardite X.
Yes! A lot of people have picked up X. The man at my shop was surprised when i asked for Y and all the copies of X had actually sold out, haha. So it was a good thing i wanted Y, or i would of been pretty disappointed.
Twerk It Gurl.Damn
Jesuz Iz That You?
Yes? Lol
I chose Y.
I know alot of people who went with Y and argued with me for wanting to get X
I have never played any of these games.But why is it that no one seem’s to buy both?Are the games exactly the same except for a few different Pokemon?Please someone who play’s these tell me why they alway’s release two at a time.
Yes it is just that, a few different pokemon. You really only need one. I got both just to be that guy. :)
Meanwhile Wii U are Sinking like Titanic after hit on iceberg. lol

This site’s a dried up husk of what it was just a few months ago solely based on the idiots who are commenting. I’ll try to bring the logic like usual, but if I wind up being left with these morons, I’m done.
Go Search A Doctorz Doc You Virus.
Welcome back…there are good days and bad days. ;) There some brave gamer chick here now, and the usuals. But the troll quality has dropped a bit. I can’t be offended half the time because I don’t know what they’re saying. Lol.
Anyway. Tough choice… If you can get a WiiU AND SMASH / Mario Kart, then maybe hold off on Pokemon and grab an indie title to hold you over?
… I’ll probably wind up getting Wind Waker HD… its calling me…
Yep: I’ll hold off on pkmn till there’s a colosseum game or something.
Thank goodness there’s a thinking person here!
Diz Gamecube game dawg iz 10 yearz old Jesuz buy it on gamecube iz cheaper.Belive or Not da gamimz is all about the play.
Oh my gawd, why do u evan likez Nintendo bro?
That’s the sort of stuff this site has been reduced to… sigh
Anyway Pokémon is the shiznit!
Dude Yo Picture make me Hungry dawg lets go to Puzza Hut.
Pkmn is epic, but my army won’t be getting any new additions just yet. Wii U 1st! Hoping for a bundle. You and Jaded made my morning cuz I havn’t been here in a while and the IQ levels here are dropping to the single digits -___-
Indeed. We have to ignore the trolls and just partake in our own civilized conversation.
Actually, if you already have you 3ds, I would recommend getting Pokemon first, whilst saving for your WiiU, you won’t regret it is a great game!!
hello dad, remember me?? i survived in the walking dead but everybody thought i died!! how is nintendo, shit?? (thats not surprising) well im going to get a xbox one because its thweet *sniff*and for fat greasy nerds like me and you reggie!!
my body isnt ready for shitty games and i know you wont bring project xxx to america!!
Welcome Back Reggietarian your Wiiu(that you dont have) Broke?
Tell me about it. It’s very annoying just to get responded by people with no life. If you don’t like Nintendo–You don’t like them. They shouldn’t constantly take time out of their day to irritate us. And I’m getting slightly annoyed there’s been no control over the trolls by the admins. Please get on this, MNN admins.
Free Speech Crybaby now Move YO azz to Toyz a Ruz
where is the source
Use Da Google Dawg.Lazy ass Nig.
Keep this up and Pokemon might be GTA V
Watz Gta5 Dawg?
Funny. Because it’s on a quite new console, and it’s on only 1 handheld console. So yeah.. take that GTA :)

They could have easily released this concurrently on the Wii U with slight graphical improvements. Heck, they could have easily released it as an eshop download with no graphical improvements — the functionality would have been largely identical and it would have moved systems immensely. The street pass stuff isn’t the crux of the game. I need to hear a better excuse than “herp derp, pocket monsters are for the pocket derp”.
Buy Ouya dawg we got Nyan cat.
I’m getting Pokemon X baby. I love Pokemon. Really I do.
I take it all back, Ouya rocks!!!
I Told Yo ass.

Love this game 4 real.
Well, at least It runs smoother than Ubisoft game..
Well, at least It runs smoother than a Ubisoft game..
Only play On My Ouya dont Know diz gaimz.
well Ubisoft would probably struggle with the Ouya hardware anyway…
Ouya Iz all about the games and fun.Not about grahics or some shitz.
Well that’s 90% of third parties screwed then
Except you don’t have a ouya, because you are a fake, troll aka sega commander, microsoft employee and all those stupids names! You play the terrorist but in fact you are just so ridiculous.
Ouya is that that piece of shit GameCube wanna be box ? What’s so special about that?
Nothing at all. As said above I bought one and traded it in after 1 week!!! -_- it was complete ASS. No good games, bad frame rate for games, horrible control lag, and so much more fail. Its a weak piece of crap. Even super Mario 64 for the emulator on it had slow down.
I would of appreciated a Wii U version, but i’m fine none the less.

Meanwhile the Wii U…
How much did GTA5 sell in comparison?
GTAV sold 10-12 million in a single day….
11 Million at launch, but X & Y surpass The Last of Us and Bioshock infinite lifetime sales, in just 2 days!!
I got Pokemon Y cause I HATE xerneas and I LOVE Yveltal

Reblogged this on Pokémon X and Y Stuff and commented:
YEAH!
I can tell by some of the comments that I read here that most people really studied up on X & Y and watched every single video etc. leading up to the launch. After all, how else would anyone know what Pokémon is featured in which game? I myself know NOTHING. Because I was never interested in watching any of the videos. I’m more interested in Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
