Pokémon Black and White Move A Milli
At some point, you’d think the fervor for Nintendo’s Pokémon series would begin to wane. You’d be wrong. Today, Nintendo released its day one sales numbers for Pokémon Black and White. The DS titles combined to sell over 1.08 million copies in just one day. This bests the previous Pokémon single-day sales mark set by Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, which moved 780,000 units in April of 2007.
While Black and White didn’t reinvent the Pokéwheel, the 150+ new Pokémon, new Unova region, and new battle modes were enough to entice its fans to buy the games in droves. They are also very well made titles, as confirmed by our own Annette Gonzalez’s reviews of Black and White, which are linked below.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
