Nintendo's phenomenally successful Pokémon series is at it again with the release of Pokémon Black and Pokémon White this week, which have shot to the top of the U.K. charts and become the third most successful launch titles for the company behind Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit.

Pokémon White takes the top honours, outselling Black by 13,000 units and also becoming it the second fastest selling DS game ever, just behind Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box. Otherwise, there’s little change in the top ten.
