Pokemon yellow set the world record in 2000 for best selling video game over a million in the first week.
It’s a little difficult to judge because most sales figures show the paired games as one total. If lots of people bought both games it’s hard to compare that to an individual game. Most games beat the previous games for fastest-selling. From what I can tell, Platinum is the fastest selling game over a week, while Black & White hold the record for most pre-orders.
Anyway, here are all the total sales for the main Pokemon games (m=million). Red & Blue have the highest total, but they’ve had the longest to get that many sales!
Pokemon Red & Blue:23.6mPokemon Yellow:8.9m
Pokemon Gold & Silver:23mPokemon Crystal:3.8m
Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire:13mPokemon FireRed and LeafGreen:11.8mPokemon Emerald:6.3m
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl:17.4mPokemon Platinum:7.1mPokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver11.9m
Pokemon Black and White:12.87m
