This game, despite only being released in Japan, is managing to take the world by storm. Retailers took around 2,000,000 pre-orders combined, and 850,000 copies were sold on the first day - making it the fastest selling games of all time. Well over 1,000,000 copies have now been sold, and the GBA is outselling the PS2 in Japan.. by 2 to 1! Now that's Pokemania.

The game will be released in America on 27th March, but when it hits European shores around spring time this year, I know I'll definately be buying a copy. There will be 351 new pokemon to catch, and new styles of play including creating secret hideouts and tag team matches will be included. However, will America and Europe recieve the game with such open arms?

Possibly. But due to the shallow nature of some gamers minds today, possibly not. One thing's for certain though, I'll definately be whacking this into my GBA SP on the launch day. Is anyone else as excited as I?

Yep!
Does anyone know whether the GBA SP is compatible to connect using a GBA link cable, I suppose so otherwise Nintnedo would be screwed.
