‘Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon’ goes up the charts as Pokemon Shuffle brings new events for players

“Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon” has only been out for more than a week, but already the game is dominating the charts. That is, the newest Pokemon game is sitting at the top of the Japanese gaming charts.

Since its release date, the latest Pokemon game has exceeded 150,000 sales. It has surpassed the likes of “Super Mario Maker,” which was released just a week earlier, “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain,” released at the beginning of September and “Resident Evil Revelations 2,” which launched on the same date, Nintendolife reported.

“Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon” is not the only Nintendo game to stay at the top of the charts. Other Nintendo titles that made it into the top 20 included “Yo-Kai Watch Busters,” “Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer,” “Splatoon,” “Rhythm Heaven: The Best+” and enduring “Mario Kart 8,” which was released more than a year ago.

Two other hot Pokemon games, “Pokemon Shuffle” as well as its mobile version, are both getting two challenges each this week. For the Nintendo 3DS version, Latias is up for grabs in the Escalation Battle, trusted Pokemon source Serebii reported. This event will gives players x1.5 Exp. Points at Level 5. The challenge will also grant players the Disruption Delay, the Mega Start, 1,000 Coins, the Latiasite Mega Stone, 1,000 more Coins and the Mega Speedup, depending on the level the player achieves. Another event coming to the Nintendo 3DS version of “Pokemon Shuffle” is Pinair, which is obtainable until Oct. 2.

For the mobile version, players have until Oct. 2 to get the Keldeo, which has finally made its debut on the “Pokemon Shuffle” mobile. Giratina is also coming to the Escalation Battle on the mobile.

Apart from the new challenges, participants of the previous Mega Charizard Y challenge can expect their respective rewards. Those who ranked among the top 11,000 in Europe and Australia or the top 18,000 in America can now claim the Charizardite Y. Players of the Nintendo 3DS version can expect the prizes to be available sometime between now and Oct. 5, while those on the mobile version will have to deal with a delay of the prize distribution.
