Oh, I remember the craziness around the SMB3 launch, and I did take part in it. And damn if it wasn't a really awesome game. I'm not surprised it's still up there in the charts.
Also the page for Diamond/Pearl has numbers indicating that it sold better in Japan than in the US. 5 million sold in Japan by the end of 2006 and 4.27 sold in the US by the end of 2007. (if I'm not reading it wrong)
I dunno how that compares to other game releases but I think it's pretty darn popular. Plus they have fucking aeroplanes.
They're against pokemon evolution? Wow, I guess they REALLY don't understand the theory of evolution and how it's based on species as a whole and not on one creature evolving. Anyway, the way pokemon go about it is in a manner that insects folly of various life stages. On the other hand, it's a free laugh to think about people getting morally riled up about the game. XD

Fri, 12/04/2009 - 8:42pmI always thought that Pokemon was bigger in the US than Japan, but I can't find any evidence either for or to the contrary. Anyone know?
