I never would have noticed a trend like that on my own. I hope that it holds true for HG/SS!
|
Christmas 09 would be a miracle.
Spring 10 would be expected. |
I would be flabbergasted if they came out in December. But I think next Spring is more likely.
Can't know for sure though. If the earlier date holds true, I would think we would be hearing something official really soon. So here's to hoping! :D |
I did check Amazon today and it did say Dec, 31, 2009. However it still hasnt really been confirmed by Nintendo yet so its not quite known yet whether or not its really coming out then. Its still probable that the games will come out in the early parts of 2010. However there still is a hopeful chance that New Years Eve is the actual date and if thats the case...then i'll be really glad then! :D Lets hope New Years 09 is true!
|
I seen that on amazon they have the english release date as December 21, 2009. They did say they wanted a qucik release
|
I'd also like to point out that Amazon has had wrong release dates listed at first before (I've experienced this with some CDs and books before). They simply want to have the item up in their system so people will start pre-ordering. Or sign up for product info updates with certain items. They usually correct it later when they have more information. So I wouldn't take Amazon's word to heart just yet.
But it sure would be awesome if it turned out to be true...I hope it is. :) |
Whatever date it is, it can't come fast enough.
|
I kinda doubt february... thats just the common formula for the games, They always come out in late march/april. (Example: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum) all games before that came out in September in north america, late march/ april in japan (get it yet?)

Uh... that'll never happen. Getting the game translated in a matter of 3 months? An impossibility, seeing how much data is in the game. I mean, All 493 pokemon are in it with new pokedex entries and kanto, and possibly even hoenn. |
Yea there's a topic with this already.... I was thinking that we wont see this game in the US until around March
|
lets not get to ahead of are selfs i mean this could be luck or made not

I don't see how people can believe in Amazon's release date, the page doesn't even have any information and it doesn't even say HeartGold and SoulSilver.
I personally never trust any gaming magazines or any company who sells games(not make them) with their release dates. I mean how can anyone be 2 years off Kingdom Hearts 2 release date and still claim to have gotten information from the game creators. |
lol my brothers birthday is in febuary
I dont care when it comes out as long as it comes out before march COME OUT NOW EVERYONE WANT YOU!! I really hope Amazon is right and if it comes out on dec 21 I would ask for soulsilver or both for christmas I will get pissed if they lied |
Please, do you really think they've only been working on Platinum this whole time?
When they were making Platinum, they were also making HG/SS, and theres easily much more to the game than they're letting on, I wouldnt be surprised if they have it finished already. There was an interview with Gamefreak somewhere about this very thing,they've been doing these games for much longer than everyone thinks, and they've further with it than everyone thinks, and they still have some surprises left. This Pokemon Sunday update stuff is to drip-feed everyone, to make them watch Pokemon Sunday, and to make them more excited about the games. I bet Pokemon Sunday has all the information already, they're just doing what normal media do, and drip-feeding the audience. |

Yeah, and I also know they begin work on English translations before the game is even done some times. Not sure if it applies to Pokemon, but I'm pretty sure I read they did that with Kingdom Hearts a few times. For all we know they could have been working side by side with the Japanese developers. *shrugs* Would be smart though ya know? Why wait for the game to be complete when you already have material to translate while it's being made? |
Amazon is a real site but have any of you realised that it doesnt say what language so it might just be the jananese games and they may be putting it on their website 31st?
|
hmm didn't notice the months of release were getting closer and closer, but i did notice how the games in japan come out in September all the time
|
Shouldn't this thread be closed due to speculating something that is possible but not sure and could end up as rumors?
|
Quote:
Besides - close something because what is speculated is only possible and could be a rumor? A lot of discussion is speculation, particularly in the Speculation sticky thread (and by that then that should be closed, along with many other threads)... if something is a rumor than people can say 'hey, it's a rumor' - but not everything is, and the release data may be leaked further down the line, who knows. |

I was just thinking what the UK/EU release date might be, and assuming it comes out in America in early spring then you allow the usual few months for translations (it apparently takes MONTHS to add in a couple of u's) that means we won't get it until about June! I don't get why it takes so long for them to "translate" American English into British English.
|
Quote:
As for the EK and Australian version, my time frame for the release dat there would be anywhere between May and June, but like said, anything is possible. As for why it takes so long to distribute amongst other copies, people tend to forget that it isn't only translations that take up time. There are the little factors inbetween that you must take into consideration as well. For instance, copying, packaging, shipping, and distributing out to each store of each country all takes up time. Then there is preparation for the release and reruns to make sure the game is well off to be on the market first as well. So, it takes time yes, but not only because of translation. |
So, new info now - the release date for America is the vague 'Spring 2010' date - which was quite expected by myself, really. That means anytime in March-May. Same as the other games like Platinum and so forth, really.
No news on other countries yet, of course... so speculation may yet continue for that as well, I suppose. |
More specifically, it's that date for the United States and Europe, due to the recent merger within Pokémon Companies outside Japan. Says so on this page (official).
|
I am almost certain that HG/SS will be released around March 21st, for some reason a lot of the games have came out around there. I know this because my birthday is just a few days away from March 21st so I usually end up getting Pokemon games. : 3
