Pokemon Red and Green are no longer the series' best-selling games in Japan, as Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have now overtaken them.
Two years after their release in November 2022, Famitsu reports that Nintendo and Game Freak have sold more than 8.3 million copies of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in Japan. That milestone means that the games have finally overtaken the domestic release of Pokemon Red and Green, which held the title of Japan's best-selling Pokemon game since their launch in 1996.
