It's official: Worldwide sales of the extremely popular Nintendo DS games Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl have combined to hit the 10 million unit mark, further solidifying the franchise's claim as one of the all-time best sellers.

The two games are often considered as one installment in the series, but with different Pokemon to see and capture in adherence to the tradition initiated by the original Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. As usual, you take on the role of a single Pokemon trainer who's out there to be the very best (like no one ever was). Team Rocket, like always, is up to no good and you're going to have to teach them another lesson in pain.

The game was released in September of last year in Japan and was offered to American and European markets earlier in 2007. New features such as a headset that supports voice features and online play added some new areas to explore for veterans of the series. Creator Satoshi Tajiri must be flashing his million dollar smile right now.
