Pokémon Black & White become fastest selling DS games ever

Nintendo Japan have today issued a press release detailing the pre-order figures for Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version. Well over one million pre-orders for the games have been taken in Japan and with another twenty-five days to go until the official release, Nintendo expect the number of pre-orders to reach 1.5 million. This makes Pokémon Black and White Version the fastest selling DS games in history. Even though this is the fifth generation of Pokémon, the franchise is definitely not showing any signs of slowing down, if anything it is growing stronger.

Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version will launch in English speaking countries before May 2011.

Urf. I were gonna make this thread but then I decided it wasn't important enough. Although, a general idea of the English release date is nice........ Can't wait.

I preordered White when I went to Gamestop to trade in some games~~~ ^.^

I'm glad there are still as many people loving the franchise. It warms my heart. ;3;

I can say ive been with pokemon for over 13-14 yrs. But i am still kinda upset that i have not found a Chinese version pre-order for pokemon white i only have a Japanese pre order

i'll probably wait like a week or 2 before preordering it -3- i still dont know for sure which one i want so...

I should do things with these games, since my DS got back.
