Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire has reached a total of 7.7 million units shipped worldwide. The game sold around 3 million units after its first three days though this did not count Europe sales as the game launched last week in Europe.
Hardcore Gamer: It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten to see characters from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Years ago the release of Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby were a big hit. Most recently however, you could battle leaders of Team Aqua and Team Magma in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. So, maybe that’s why a couple of new 3DS themes are being released.
App Trigger: "Much of the magic of the original Pokemon games centered around how we played with others. For Pokemon Switch, a new approach is needed."
After pouring hundreds of hours over 10 years into the beloved Pokemon series, Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee’s time with it might be coming to an end, he writes.
TL;DR:
"I don't want to buy a Switch, The Pokemon Company is obviously developing Pokemon games for the Switch, so I am no longer going to play Pokemon."
There. That's basically everything in two sentences.
So this is shipped numbers !
Use the term ORAS rather than say one of the games
I bought a transparent blue 2DS bundle with this game. I'm enjoying it a lot and it feels great to play Pokemon again.
WiiU needs an original pokemon game. It would spur sales like crazy.
Stupid question time! Are these remakes of the Gamboy Advance games? Or sequels of some sort?
