The fifth generation of Pokemon is a big success in Japan, and it hasn't even been released yet.

According to Japanese gaming site Online Player EX, Pokemon Black and White has broken records for the fastest selling Pokemon title in Japan. While the game is yet to be released, pre-orders have already surpassed the 1,000,000 mark.

Pokemon Black and White will be released in Japan on September 19.

And the award for Most Expected News Story of the Year goes to...


Seriously though, I think Pokémon Black and White will help to ensure that the DS will remain relevant in the mass market long after the 3DS makes itself known. Whether it's actually a notable step-up from Diamond and Pearl is a different story.

That is just crazy. Good for the game, I am playing though Soul Silver right now. I'll probably wait for what I can only guess will be the Grey version, but I expect this to be a big jump in the franchise.
