Pokémon Diamond/Pearl owns Japan

Pokémon may not be the national phenomenon it was when the first games, Red and Blue, first released, but the latest record-breaking figures show it's still going strong.

Within three months of their September 28 release in Japan, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl shipped five million units to Japanese retailers.

Nintendo hopes this craze will continue when the new adventure makes its way to US stores on April 22.
