Pokemon Arceus Legends i💧s the most pre༒-ordered game in the history of one UK retailer.

That retailer would be Currys. In a statement provided to , the store announced that Pokemon Legends Arceus had surpassed 9,000♍ pre-order copies throughout the UK before launching today.

Additionally, the retailer actually projected that over 25,000 copies of Pokemon Legends Arceus would be purchased today on launch day by customers. T🍃hat's quite the step up from the original 9,000 pre-orders, so we can only assume there'll be a tonne of🔜 people ordering Arceus from today.

However, NintendoLife provides a little information as to why Currys has been the go-to retailer for Pokemon Legends Arceus. Apparently, the retailer offered a discount code for pre-orders of Arceus, knocking the price down from £44.99 to £38.24, a discount💯 that's unfortunately no longer available for newcomers.

Right now, we haven't heard anything on the US side of things that might indicate how well Pokemon Legends Arceus has sold in its first day on the market. All things considered though, Nintendo's new exclusive appears to have been received well by fans in general, with some even 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:dissecting Shiny appearance rates already.

Pokemon Legends Arceus looks like it's taking a definitive step in a new direction for the historic franchise.
