Pokémon Black/White Pre-orders Surpass 1 Million

With Pokémon Black/White set to re-ignite the longrunning Nintendo series, pre-orders for the new DS game have topped 1 million.

Bulbanews report that Nintendo recently issued combined pre-order sales figures for the new Pokémon duo, making the games the fastest DS pre-orders to date. Nintendo expects a continual interest, with an estimated 1.5 million pre-orders before the game leaps onto retail shelves from September 18th.

No news yet of a solid release outside Japan, except for sometime during Spring 2011.
