Started playing it last night and not very far, only managed about an hour.

I picked Fennekin as my Pokemon. I read that you get a choice of a original Pokemon too. So when i get there, i'll go with Squirtle.

I'm going to try and get a decent team this time. On older games i was useless at picking a decent team. I'd have one decent Pokemon and the rest were human shields basically.

Pok?mon X and Y sales hit 12m copies

An underground success story.

 

Collected, the two latest adventures also hold the award for being the fastest-selling title ever on the handheld.

 

Nintendo announced back at the end of January that it had shifted more than 11.6m units of the games, meaning an extra 400,000 have been sold in the last two months.

 

The new sales data comes from a Pok?mon Company press release announcing the launch of yet another Pok?mon movie (the 17th, incredibly) which is due for an English language broadcast sometime this year.

 

For comparison, the original Pok?mon Red and Blue (Green in Japan) sold nearly 24m back on the Game Boy. Follow-up Gold and Silver shifted a further 23m.

 

Game Boy Advance duo Ruby and Sapphire hit 16m sales, while DS iterations Diamond and Pearl sold 17.6m, and Black and White sold 15.4m.

 

In total, 245m Pok?mon video games have been sold worldwide.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
