The next entry in the Pocket Monster series, Pokemon: Black and White, isn’t out, but people in Japan are keen to buy it.
Pre-orders for the game have surpassed the one million mark, making it the fatest Nintendo DS game to hit one million pre-orders.
The game is on pace to hit 1.5 million pre-orders before it goes on sale.
The last entry in the Pocket Monster series, Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl, sold three million copies in its first 48 hours on sale.

In the end, I’m hoping this is a renewed Gold/Silver for the newer generation.
