To thou who only comments negatively in pokemon news: You can say that its ripping off bla bla and the series is done for and that nobody cares. Well I guess over 1 million thought the opposite, and me and my friends and family haven't even preordered yet (to avoid shipping fee + ridiculous country's tax) but will be getting one as soon as its available in town. See? You're not the only single human being exists in this world, so please stop speaking like you're representing the thought of the entire human race.
