Pokemon Black and White pre-order figures cross the million mark

Pokemon Black and White has smashed previous speed records as pre-order figures become the highest for any DS game in Japan.

Since being made available on the 31st of July, over 1.08 million units have been pre-ordered, with the figure predicted to rise to 1.5 million units before the game’s release in Japan on September 18th.

Pokemon Black and White is to be set in the faraway land of Isshu, featuring completely new Pokemon (until you get the National Pokedex) and older protagonists.

Black and White’s release date for the UK and North America is not expected until spring 2011.
