2. re: Conspiracy Theories
The game is obviously set up to release a shot of heroin into your hands every time you catch one of the nearly-500 buggers. But the trick is it only works once per Pokemon per cartridge, so the poke`addics are buying repeat copies. Duh.
Also, the trick only works on Japanese Pink DS Lites, so don't try to just import one and test it for yourself. ;)

3. According to the Media Create numbers, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl combined sales are at 4.3 million in Japan. But at the rate it's selling it probably will reach the 5 million mark some day.

1. I don't get it.
I have a Japanese copy of the game, and there's nothing new here. I admit, I don't understand all the menus and features, but the core gameplay is the same: Gotta catch them all!
It has terrible graphics to boot.
So why is it selling a combined 5 million copies? I have no idea. Any conspiracy theories?
