I'm terribly sorry if this has already been said, but has any pre order date been set for the U.S. version?

This may be of interest to the people of Europe... but mind you not confirmed, pure rumour at this stage. But anyways, from serebii.net:

Although it is likely to be nothing but rumour, English retailler Play.com has begun listing Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver for release in Europe on March 26th 2010. This date is obviously not confirmed and is likely to just be a placeholder date. Normally, I don't tend to report on every date retaillers post but this one does fall on the right day for Nintendo to release games in Europe. There will likely be a press release for the European Date soon and as soon as Nintendo announce it, we'll post it here
If it is that date it'd be surprisingly close to the American date IMO for a change. IDK though given the apparent April date for Australia, but we shall see.

Yay I cannot wait even though I live in Australia I will be ordering mine when it comes out in America

Kleinchen December 21st, 2009 7:30 PM

March 14 is officially going to be the best day of 2010. <3

On Saturday I went into a local GameStop and asked when preorders start, and they told me I could preorder it right then. o-o I didn't have the money on me to preorder it right that second, but apparently you can preorder it now from GameStop and probably also Target/KMart/etc., so have fun xD

I'm going to make this gap seem short: You know when Red and Green were released in Japan? February 1995. You know when Pokemon Finally came to the US as Red and Blue? September 28th 1998. That's 3 years, you US guys should be grateful we only have to wait a half a year now. I dont even have a ROM or a jp copy cause i cant read Japanese and for some reason every time i try and patch something there's always something that goes wrong. So for those of you who do have the privelage of playing this game early consider yourselves lucky that you can play it before your country gets it (and that goes for everyone outside of Japan). But on another note...........
OMG I WANT THEM BOTH AND I WANT THEM NAO!!!!!!

As much as I'd like this to be true (and it would be since games always come out on a Friday over here), the fact that the date is so 'close' to the American release date and that we'd get it before Australia seems kinda 'odd' and most likely 'false'.

Nevertheless, I do hope the European launch date for HGSS (which is currently a rumour) turns out to be true :)

That's not really comparable though, seeing as the Pokémon Red and Green that you refer to were technically never released in the US, or anywhere outside Japan. Even the Pokémon Blue in Japan (released in 1996) was a different game to the Red and Blue that we know and love.

On top of this, the Pokémon franchise was much, MUCH smaller then - especially in the West. Nobody in the USA really knew what Pokémon was or that there was even a game coming - so there was nobody really waiting for the release. The games had not originally been designed to be translated into multiple languages - this meant that an extensive amount of reprogramming had to be done during the translation process.

:D

I hope Europe gets it at the same time!!!

Coz we never get our own wi-fi events dates announced, we just have the american ones.

RivalGator December 23rd, 2009 1:27 PM

I wish we could just go ahead and get ours. God, we've been waiting ****ing LONG ENOUGH.

qbone December 25th, 2009 12:36 AM

Mid March is the earliest next year release that we've had, I believe. I think D/P were in april and Plat was late march.

I'm fairly happy with this, less than 3 months to go.

power321 December 25th, 2009 2:19 AM

Better March than April..*just a few more months left. waits patiently* o_o

Tails2000 December 29th, 2009 11:24 AM

This is close to my brithday, I can't wait :cer_boogie:.
I'm sure time will go by really fast.

MarstheCar December 29th, 2009 11:33 AM

Heat Gold(or Soul silver) is gonna be my late gift from my mom. About 3 months left :)

.little monster December 29th, 2009 12:38 PM

I will get SS for my birthday, since it is ten days after the release. New Pokemon games always come out around my birthday, it's awesome.

My source states that the game is 14th March 2010 in America and the second trimester for Europe, so Europe would be somewhere between April and August.

Converge December 30th, 2009 9:44 AM

It's coming out sooner then i expected, but still a while to wait. :p

Yamikarasu December 30th, 2009 11:09 AM

I'm glad it's coming out in March, because that should give me enough time to save up for it.

In other news, I need to get a job...

The Doctor December 30th, 2009 11:15 AM

i will get SS or HG for my birthday, it comes out two days after it.

ShadowForce_G December 30th, 2009 11:35 AM

March 14th 2010...

I must save my money from now. I'm sure my parents won't buy it for me...

Uzumaki_King December 30th, 2009 7:08 PM

I anxiously await the release :3 ....just hope we get the walker thingy >.>

Not Really once us Release has been released it not that hard to work out the aussie one lol (im australia not being rude or anything) but it is always like one to two months after not that much longer of a wait

MegaKuriboh January 10th, 2010 6:51 PM

Yeah the date is so longs away!But knowing Nintendo this date is WONDERFUL news!

Its pretty early compared to other Pokemon game english release dates.

Anyways March 14th will be a pretty damn good day for us Canadian/Americans.
JUST 2 MORE MONTHS PEOPLE!

anyways I this the reasons the games always come out on sundays is because for us kids/teens we can buy the games 'cause we don't have school but the japenise are smarter because of Friday.

Its better to have the game the BEGGINING of the weekends NOT THE END!!

all though its possible for the date to come on Friday the 13th which could be bad

インフェルノの津波 January 11th, 2010 7:02 PM

I'll do like I did Platinum: Wait 6 months, then buy it without no long lines. I'm HeartGold, because it has Ho-oh, and I can get Lugia Level 70. Also, Gligar is in it. Now, all I have to do is wait for Generation 5 and hello Mudkip lol.
