Latest Pre-Sell Marks Return of Pokémania!

Aug 19, 2004

Nintendo's Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen Pre-Selling Twice As Fast As Previous Pokémon Releases!



In just the first 15 days of August, hungry Pokémon fans have already reserved more than 150,000 copies of Pokémon FireRed or Pokémon LeafGreen for Game Boy Advance ? a rate more than 200 percent ahead of the 2003 Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire pre-sell. Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire went on to rank No. 2 and No. 3 in video games sold in the United States that year.

Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen will be available Sept. 7 at an MSRP of $39.99 each. The games will come bundled with the new Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter, which will let players trade, battle and chat with one another with no connecting cords. Those reserving copies in advance at participating retailers also receive a copy of the Pokémon Pocket Trainer?s Guide.

?The advance sales on the Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire versions last year were phenomenal ? combined, they sold through more than 4 million games in America alone,? says George Harrison, Nintendo of America?s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. ?This pre-sell indicates more than twice the player interest!?


are kids turnin back to the games we once played or is this just some BS

Pokemon is so overdue for a comeback. It was only a matter of time before you start seeing that yellow rat repeating his darn name everytime he talks.

pokemon will never die. children keep coming back for more and the younger kids keep wanting to play. i think the tv show is really helping the movement spread.

Oh! Well you are probably right, at least for older kids. Mine did and mostly still do like Pokemon, both the show and the games.

Wait, wait, wait. You're defending Yu-Gi-Oh - officially the worst thing ever - and bagging Pokemon, which is essentially the same thing, just without a lead character with a Barry White-esque voice?

Why?

I remember one time where he lost to a sandshrew. (don't laugh at me for watching, I was 10).
