Pokémon Legends: Arceus has become another big sales success story for the franchise — just two months after last November's Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Indeed, Legends: Arceus shifted more boxed copies in the UK than last year's pair of remakes, and is now the fourth-biggest boxed Pokémon launch in the UK of all time — behind Sun/Moon, Sword/Shield and Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby.

When you look at Pokémon games not launched as part of a pair, Legends: Arceus is the biggest ever release — a record previously held since 2000 by Pokémon Yellow on Game Boy (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz).

«Inspired as much by Pokémon Go as it is Breath of the Wild, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is flimsy and compulsive — and exhilaratingly new,» Chris Tapsell wrote in Eurogamer's Pokémon Legends Arceus review.

Elsewhere in last week's chart, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection arrived in fifth place. Maximum Games' Rugby 22 arrived in 33rd.

Why Nagini Isn’t In Fantastic Beasts 3 (And How To Bring Her Back)

After the release of a trailer and character posters for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Wizarding World enthusiasts have been left wondering why Nagini isn't in the next film–and how she might come back. Nagini is unique in that she's one of the only characters from the Fantastic Beasts franchise to also be featured in the Harry Potter movies. Not only was her introduction in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald memorable, but it piqued audiences' collective interest to see how a kind young woman would eventually become one of the fiercest villains in Harry Potter lore. Despite that, her absence likely has its logical reasons and may even lead to Nagini having a larger role in future Fantastic Beasts films.
