U.S. Platinum release date CONFIRMED
 
Okay, so there's been some debate on whether or not the U.S. release date for Platinum is legit, and everyone keeps saying its not on pokemon.com, so it isnt true or is just a rumor, or something along those lines.

Check again.

Its official. Pokemon PLatinum is indeed coming to the U.S. March 22nd 2009, and yes, the box art everyone has been debating about being Photoshopped is the real box art.

So yeah....dunno about you all, but I'm excited^^

Oh, and for those wondering, heres the link, see for yourself:

Now the only question left is what the reserve bonus will be.

My guess is some sort of stylus(maybe with Girtania on it), or maybe a walkthrough or special tin...and I think in Japan theres a special package with the game and a DS with Dialga and Palkia engraved in it, if Im thinking right....could be with D/P, I cant remember exactly

maplelame December 20th, 2008 6:45 PM

i doubt there could be a tin, stylus probably, could be a sticker skin for the front of the ds with cutout for DSi

Well, I said tin because of Emerald, though I dobut they would do that again. But those are other possibilities

Thats cool, i live i the UK but there is a shop near where i live that gets the big US DS games on the day they come out in the US(or they day after at the latest), which is awesome because it saves so much time having to import them.

Just one question, does the US get a pre-order bonus for every game released, because here in the UK we hardly ever get them, only the BIG TOP games get them(and Nintendo games NEVER do) and most of the time the packaging the item came in costs more than the item.

Gerri Shin December 20th, 2008 6:48 PM

not to be Johnny Raincloud here, but could someone link to some hard proof that this is confirmed and legit?
Also if D/P are any indication, NOA will probably just have the reserve bonus be a stylus with giratina on it, or if you buy D/P/Pt then you could get a stylus stand as well.

and I didnt put this in my original post because I didnt want this to be closed due to spam, but here-

http://www.pokemon.com/#videogames

and if its on the officail Pokemon website, I think its 100% true.

Gerri Shin December 20th, 2008 7:26 PM

Ok, thanks. I'm ready to put in my name for a reserve copy when they have them available.
Spoiler:
for the record, you can put that in the first post, seeing as it's not a forum and you;re linking for reference, I would expect it to be allowed

(also the only games that I know of that have had reserve bonus items have been from the RSE generation onward.)

Stormer07 December 21st, 2008 1:27 AM

Thats great ^^ I live in the UK but am certainly getting it imported ^^

Peanutz December 21st, 2008 10:52 AM

Yay!

I can wait that long, I'll just keep playing Diamond until the time comes. ^_^
Then, I'll play Diamond AND Platinum. XD

I mainly did that because I havent exactly been the best thread...person....poster....thing...person....anyway, I've made so many mistakes when posting threads and they end up getting closed, so I didnt want to risk that happening again.

Meh....I ment to put all of the GBA games onward, but it was late and I was crashing from a suger rush....curse you, caffine xD

Tilly08 December 21st, 2008 4:14 PM

Ruphire December 21st, 2008 4:21 PM

ErickaVolt December 21st, 2008 4:24 PM

Heh, I knew this already. People have already confirmed this first in YouTube. Meh, I'm excited too.

Event sammy December 21st, 2008 5:02 PM

i can't wait .. is the US release date the same at australian release date?

Crimson Arcanine December 21st, 2008 6:19 PM

I can't wait. Not sure to to get a copy imported from the US or wait until it comes out in Australia.

This will be the first generation of games that I'll have all the games from it most likely.

Gyardosamped December 21st, 2008 10:11 PM

That's great!
Hopefully it'll be sorta different from the other games.

Haza December 21st, 2008 10:17 PM

It is different from them. It has the Battle Frontier and Alternate Rotom, Shaymin and Giratina forms.

Outlander December 21st, 2008 10:33 PM

I've been waiting for this game forever and Im looking forward to its release ;) and lucky for me its release is close to my birthday =D

Rupp December 21st, 2008 11:07 PM

I'm def. gonna buy this game and stuff.

=]

juuska December 22nd, 2008 4:42 AM

I cant wait to play platinum

platinum, platinum, platinum...

Logan December 22nd, 2008 7:02 AM

I can't wait to play this my pre-order is in as soon as I can.

It just looks so much of an improvement on D/P

evilmagikarp94 December 22nd, 2008 12:40 PM

I wish I lived across the pond.

Light Yagami December 22nd, 2008 1:08 PM

OK, so I guess my pre-conceived release date is false, figures Gamestop would pull something like this. I thought it was going to be April 22nd 09


EDIT:They must have fixed it in the meantime, nevermind....


I am definetly pre-odering it though. And yes, from that wretched place, but I don't wanna spam this thread up with my rants, hehe
