Nintendo UK has confirmed higher pre-order figures for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire than X/Y.
Speaking to industry paper MCV, Nintendo UK's marketing boss Shelly Pearce confirmed that the upcoming Nintendo 3DS games are "pre-ordering more than X and Y, so we are quite optimistic about that one." It seems that this is something that the company are also seeing on a more global scale.
To help drive sales of the game further, Pearce confirmed that the company are planning a similar advertising campaign to the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y promotion.
