Pokemon has acknowledged a save game bug in Pokemon X and Y, and the Japanese company site says it is working on a fix to hit that region in a few days.

We're certainly keen on Pokémon X and Y, and apparently aren't the only ones. Nintendo today announced the pair sold four million copies between them over the weekend following Saturday's launch. If you smooshed them together, it'd be the fastest-selling 3DS game yet.
