It was the first single, which was not only available only at CD shops, but at toy, videogame and Pokémon specialist shops. And because of it, some estimations are about the single had sold more than 1,85 million, or even more than 2 million copies. The Oricon didn't count those copies, which were sold at other shops. That's why the single did not chart on its first weeks. The single appeared at the charts only about 1.5 months later, with 12,800 copies sold. On the next 2 months, the single went up to Top 20, and later to Top 10, but the 7th position could reach only at 12th January 1998. The total sales reached 1 million at March 1998. However this is official, the single didn't receive the certification from the [[Record Industry Association of Japan Million]]. But when the unofficial sales reached 1,51 million copies the label: Pikachu Records produced special Gold discs (because of the number of 151 species of Pokémon at this time), which were shipped in very limited copies to interested parties.
