According to this article:
http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/9NH7dkYdedNEp7fwhDrI2NSqsKPVna6B

more than 175 million pokemon games have been sold worldwide.

And in this article http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/mmnr/Super_Mario_Galaxy/index.html
More than 200 million Mario games have been sold.



Since sales are an obvious reflection of popularity and quality, this means that if you don't own a Nintendo system, you are missing out on the best video games available.

Hey now, I think things are a lot more balanced these days, if you play by the "No ubers in standard matches" rule anyway.

Three of the finest games made yet they sold poorly.

:) Remember the first time you discovered you could go to Kanto? Or the first time you battled Red? Some of the best moments in gaming, for me.

Besides, the soundtrack is badass.

Shenmue needs to come out on XBL and/or PSN. Seriously.

The sequal would be nice too, just for completion.

I agree. But unfortunately Sega has decided that the series is too much of a money sink to invest a single dime more in it.

Red and blue had the Missingno glitch that eliminated some of the crappier parts of playing pokemon (the grind).

And Gold and Silver just had so much stuff in it, it was bursting at its seams.

"The sum of its parts".It is simply outstanding.

I also liked a lot Ruby/Sapphire.

Pearl/Diamond was a little inferior as I expected (too many strange evolutions and legendary pkmns), but the new system that divides attack in phisical/special regardless of type is a blessing. Shame that you need FC for the online.

gameplay wise though...D/P is the best.

I remember in red/blue physic types were way to over-powered. Now it's more balanced

Not to mention the physical/special split which added alot to strategies

I'll agree with this as far as competitive gaming is concerned. And since that's what's most important to me when it comes to pokemon, I'll just agree.
