Clarification on Pokemon Diamond/Pearl accounting has been requested:
Currently our research indicates that Pokemon games are generally released in two sister games, and then later rereleased under a new title. For example, Pokemon Red, Green, and Blue were then complemented by Pokemon Yellow. Pokemon Yellow was a remake of the original games with certain changes to make it more like the TV show. Pokemon Gold and Silver were later remade into Pokemon Crystal.
Our research indicates that these later games are not simply rereleases, like a Greatest Hits or Platinum Hits or Game of the Year label. In this case, a third Pokemon game to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl would not be included in the sales of the Pokemon Diamond/Pearl stock.
