Pokemon Sun & Moon were finally released in the UK and in Europe last Wednesday, and it looks like the delayed release compared to the rest of the world hasn’t hurt sales of the games at all.

In fact, according to Eurogamer, Pokemon Sun & Moon are Nintendo’s biggest ever launch in the United Kingdom – the two games combined sold more in one day than Wii Fit did in two weeks when it launched back in 2008. To put it into perspective, that’s more than 300,000 units.

This is even more impressive considering that the UK is usually one of Nintendo’s worst markets in the UK – it’s likely that Pokemon Sun & Moon sold even better in countries where Nintendo has a stronger presence, like France and Germany. Part of this sales success can definitely be attributed to Pokemon GO; sales of Pokemon X, Y and ORAS spiked during the summer when GO was released, and it’s likely that some of that carried over to Sun & Moon.

Once again, some more characters from the upcoming Puyo Puyo Chronicle and their Auto and Special Skills have been revealed via 4Gamer (credit to Perfectly Nintendo for the translation):

Rafine

A confident and snobby girl from a wealthy family who studies at the Magic School in Primp Town. Despite that, she’s not really that good at magic – martial arts is her specialty.

Auto Skill: Filled with confidence (increases HP)

Special Skill: Etincelle (changes the color of a column of Puyo to yellow)

Yu-chan & Rei-kun

A sibling pair – and both of them are ghosts. Yu-chan is bright and intelligent, whereas Rei-kun is silent and backs her up in whatever she says and does. They like to talk in puns and riddles.

Auto Skill: Beyond the Veil (increases Recovery)

Special Skill: Silent Step (lowers the defense of all opponents)

Head past the break for more characters!
