Tails 6,690 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Just look at this: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/20/fans-lining-pokemon-omega-ruby-alpha-sappire/ And this is all just to pre-order the game ALONE lol. I know this is to be expected since Japan looooooooooves Pokemon but wow Japan is really getting hyped for this game. I wonder if this will beat the sales of Pokemon X/Y? I'm sure w'll find out soon enough, haha.

Shana09 5,769 Posted September 20, 2014 I almost thought this was for the launch. Like they are starting to camp right now. That would've been worse. 1 Jilly Shears reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Setrex 1,031 Posted September 20, 2014 I wonder if this will beat the sales of Pokemon X/Y? I'm sure w'll find out soon enough, haha. I doubt it'll beat the 12 million+ XY have sold (mainly because XY were a new generation) but this is Pokemon so I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit 9 or even 10 million at least.

Oishii 3,987 Posted September 21, 2014 Aww, they don't have pictures from the Pokemon Center in Osaka. That was the one I used to go to occasionally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aqua7KH 5,395 Posted September 21, 2014 This IS Hoenn, the game we've been waiting for years. So that totally makes sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was Osaka the place you visited when you went on your trip to Japan? You don't pre-order, you likely miss out. Lol yup Edited September 21, 2014 by Tails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're so lucky you got to go to Japan. I think I'm a bit jealous of you . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oishii 3,987 Posted September 21, 2014 Did you see Yasue again? Or is he in Tokyo?.... He lives in Osaka, but I don't know where SE's office is. Otherwise I would have stood in front of a building like a creeper and think "They are making KHIII in that building"... 1 Sora96 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Setrex 1,031 Posted September 21, 2014 Yeah. I won;t be surprised either since Pokemon is a huuuuuge thing in Japan. It'll be a huge title that's for sure In comparison HeartGold/SoulSilver sold just under 13m compared to Diamond/Pearl's 17m and LeafGreen/FireRed sold around 12m to Ruby/Sapphire's 16m, so really regardless Nintendo and Game Freak will be definitely getting a lot of sales on the Hoenn remakes that's for sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
