I hope it's out after my birthday in the US. (Or on my birthday, Feb. 24th, 2010. :))

That would better than waiting for March. ^_^ It could be a birthday present.

Even though It has been cleared up, if anyone thinks its coming out in 2011, by then im almost certain there will be another game either in pre-release or released by then in Japan. Also previously stated its just common sense they would release it in 2010, but it could possibly be later in the year as the scripting for 2 regions could take a while (worst case scenario)

It says in a French magazine, Noel 2009. Does that mean the game will be out then for Europe? Or is this fake?

Hey have announced September 12 for Japan release. So dont say Autumn/Fall as it has been announced as September 12

Sweet Smoochum August 1st, 2009 7:02 PM

They said that it might be around Christmas time for Europe. (Not Japan, because Japan's is sooner.)

America going to announce HG and SS in September?
 
Hey, I don't post much in the Heart Gold and Soul Silver section much but I have kind of noticed something kinda odd. I was checking out the Pokemon official website today and realized that there was a Pokemon Platinum Darkrai event. I was like, "Cool!" and went to check it out, it said that the event ended September 13, which is one day after the Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver Japan release. I was just wondering if any of you guys happen to notice that. Lets hope that they quickly release it, like super dub it like sonic the hedgehog. Please post your thoughts also!

It would be nice but i belive it'll be out in march, since its being released the same month as platinum was last year in japan.

Sweet Smoochum August 2nd, 2009 12:02 AM

A French magazine said Noel 2009. It might be out by then for Europeans.

It's in the link.

That's really early.

If it's coming out that soon for Europe then I wonder what it'll be for North America.

NoA can't translate the game until it's completely finished, lest they translate something out of context. Hence, there will certainly be at least five or six months between the Japanese and American releases of HGSS. I would imagine that the very earliest at which we oculd expect HGSS to be released in America is February, and even that is a very generous estimation; March or April look more likely. It certainly won't be released in 2009.

Mitchman August 2nd, 2009 12:30 AM

Not to mention sales of Mystery Dungeon would be somewhere near ziltch if they release during the same time frame.

Youji August 2nd, 2009 3:15 AM

Mhhh but maybe Pokémon Japan is fooling us and it's already done and the finished version is being translated right away to provide a - at least close - world wide release this time :P
(Please read this post with sarcasm - don't take it serious)

Mitchman August 2nd, 2009 3:22 AM

Actually everybody should disregard Get's comment. He is pretty wrong. Right now at this point of the game its pretty much finished and all the final touches are being made. Its too late into its cycle to be unfinished and all. Not to mention the games are pretty much trademarked for the states so whenever they want they can announce the games.

true, and as half of the text is already provided from the originals (if im not mistaken, the text was pretty much identical in FR/LG compared to Red + Blue) so it might not take as long as platinum did.

Mitchman August 2nd, 2009 4:00 AM

Nah it will still take its time. They need to reread everything make sure its fine have all the new text in and all. I doubt anything before spring but you never know. I mean hell over here word of it has been given to the biggest game magazine. Just bought it and they got some crazy winter thing going on for europe as well.

bobandbill August 2nd, 2009 4:10 AM

Since this is basically a release date speculation thread, I've merged it with the pre-existing one.

I'd be somewhat surprised if it was before March for America, personally - Feb is a chance, but I don't see it happening, is my prediction.

Note as well there may be more to translate given there'd be two regions in this game, potentially, and it's not all they do too. (Fixing glitches, testing, etc...).

jdnjdn August 2nd, 2009 4:59 AM

I think that the North American version will be released at about April or March. just a guess. but gold and silver have 2 regions, so there will be more words to translate and stuff. o.O but, I guess their translating it right now because the japanese version is finished already, right? *sigh* I think nobody knows the real date of release except Nintendo right now. :P

HG/SS US Release Date Confirmed? Also Available for Pre-order
 
Amazon.com now has HeartGold and SoulSilver available for pre-order. Both pages say they'll be shipped starting on December 31st, 2009.

Here is the HeartGold page and here is the SoulSilver page.

Even if it turns out to be incorrect, then at the very least the US versions are available for pre-order.

シルバー August 3rd, 2009 6:17 PM

Sadly that can be subjected to change at any time but I hope it doesn't :c

lx_theo August 3rd, 2009 6:18 PM

If it actually comes out about then, then YES!


If not, then my expectations stay where they were

Awesome. August 3rd, 2009 6:23 PM

i only have one word OOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGG

Samme! August 3rd, 2009 6:58 PM

MAN! THAT WOULD MAKE MY CHRISTMAS! :D

But the amazon pages don't look very promising... It says Gold not Heart Gold and Silver instead of Soul Silver

It says the platform they're on is the DS, though, so it has to be them.

ckn August 3rd, 2009 7:05 PM

yeah idk about this... i also recal a video on youtube that had a section saying there was a magazine in europe announcing there release date for HG&SS would be december 2010....

PsychoTines August 3rd, 2009 7:06 PM

For an Amazon page it looks incredibly sketchy.
And if it WAS for sure wouldn't there be an announcement somewhere other than just Amazon?
Meh, it doesn't bother me, I'm pre-ordering the Jap SS tomorrow =D
I'm just pointing out, How can we believe this?
