5th Gen English Release Date Discussion [EU - March 4, US - March 6, AUS - March 10]

[Andrew McKenzie]

How unfair! The games are based on the US afterall xD

Technically we'd be receiving a simulataneous release but since Europe's usual day for releasing games is on a Friday for Pokemon games where as America releases them on a Sunday.

It's not like you'll notice the 2 day gap anyway.
Think how horrible it was for us Europeans when we had to wait 2 months after America got them.
At least now, we technically get them at the same time. Technically, give or take the traditional release days for your area.

What? Australia gets the game before US right?

When does it get released in the middle east, i can't wait no longer.

Oh I'm usually with Europe (was in London) but I'm pretty neutral now, for now... xD But you're right, it is a global English simultaneous release :)

Just wondering if Korea will get it early January/February, they got HG/SS a more than month before anyone (4th Feb) Also, will there be a midnight release?

No the other way round.

Aww bless, Forever was right. I'm happy for the Aussies :)

No she wasn't, bless - they get it on the 10th. xD

Yay for europe getting the games before anyone!

when I go to that site it doesn't show a release date?

Finally! We deserve it for putting up with so few events, and always having to wait a month while you Americans are spoiling all the plot because you've all completed it...

Agree'd, It's about time that we get a game before any other country, especially America.

You're reading the date wrong.
If they're getting it on the 3rd, then it's the 3rd of October, 2011. That's forever away, nearly 2012.
The date there is show as mm/dd/yyyy.
So it's March 10th, 2011, not 3rd of March.

Europe gets it on the 4th of March.
The US get it on the 6th.
And Australia get it on the 10th.
Not really much of a gap in the slightest as compared to previous releases.

EDIT: Just noticed now that you noticed your mistake.

;_________;

MY THEORY IS WRONG. EVERYTHING I KNOW IN THIS LIFE IS WRONG. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

Wtf we need to wait like 6 days after? ;___________;

Since the European versions are coming out first (wow I just realized that they translated it into all the European languages where Pokemon is sold already) that means that Serebii will cover The Euro versions instead of the traditional US versions...that means we in America get coverage of the games in English before they even come out in the States :)

What's left to cover, besides the English names for everything?

adsfuhuafds I hate this news. Everyone will be posting in this forum about the games and I'll be like "I CAN'T PLAY ;________;"
/hoping a store gets a copy early? :D

 

[King Gumball]

Australia is always LAST to get it ); This makes me sad.... very sad.... And almost a WEEK after Europe gets it too! D;

True but we will get our English names from England instead of the us which is a first ;)
Same here...for 2 days...

 

[Hyperion09]

Oh great, Australia lagging behind again as usual -_-

Think Positive, at least it's only 4 days from the Us and 6 from the European releases opposed to the usual month to 2 month difference :)

 

[bobandbill]

Well in the end - I told you so. =p (And I thought it'd be more likely the 10th too tbh). It's Nintendo Australia! Watch us get the American English again as well despite the delay, such as 'Mom'. ^^

 

[bobandbill]

I'll be honest with you--initially I thought Australia, for the first time, was going to get a Pokemon game before the U.S or Europe, but I was actually noting how unlikely a possibility that was, it was a really fishy release date that Australia had to get it like 3 days before America did when America always received it's Pokemon games before Australia. :(

Not so - with Gold and Silver Australia got them over a month before America did (...which got it months before Europe.) But that was ages back, to be fair.
