The main series games have always came out in late march or early april since Ruby and Saphire came out back in 2003, when I first got into Pokemon, though my first Pokemon game was Gold, my second was ruby, also, it took a YEAR, a full 365 days, for the original Gold and Silver to be translated, so IF I had to wait until october 2010, my head would explode, and then i would get furious with Nintendo for taking so long, luckly, since technology is more efficientt now than it was during the time of the original GS, it would most likely be released in late february, yeah right, nintendo said that platinum would come out in february around valentines day, and they pulled a prank on us and released it a month and a half later, especially since the translation was mainly copying and pasting from DPs programming, so if Nintendo just copied and pasted the text fron the original GSC, and then translated the rest, with the battle frontier, wifi plaza, and GTS being copied and pasted from platinum, it would be released aproxamentaly around Washingtons day 2010 (february 22nd)
