In this case, they might do the European and Australian releases simultaneously with the US. I'd be kinda surprised if they did one day separating all three regions' release dates. |
i preordered at walmart in december and i beleieve the site says ships december 23rd i pray to got it comes out earler. they saying fall but the sites u preorder it says otherwise
|
I don't know if any official dates have been released, but I'd hedge my bets at around September 24, 2012.
|
I doubt it'll come out Dec 23...that's not even Fall in any view...
I'm thinking Oct 14 or 15 th as someone stated above. |
I had like five different guests come in to Toys R Us yesterday all saying that the games release date was September 30th. Which is a Sunday so it could be possible. I haven't seen any updates to confirm this though.
|
Oh I pray it is, it's a pretty nice date for a release aka not too late. Also nintendo made it sound as if the release was quite close at Nintendo drect so it's possible.
|
I herd october 2nd or 3rd was the projected realese date
|
Quote:
I personally wouldn't mind it if it were those dates though. On the other hand neither of those is a sunday so I sort of doubt it. |
Dec 21 is technically fall, but there's no reason for such a significant release date. I'd guess Oct 12 in Europe, Oct 14 in North America.
|
If the 12th Oct. for Eu, and 14th for NA, than Australia will proably get it some time between the 16th (if a 2 day difference among releases) to the 18 th of oct if it's four days iirc like last time.
|
My birthday's October 19, which is a Friday. Hoping they come out before then in North America.
|
I'm hoping it comes out early fall, like REALLY early fall, that way we get it sooner
|
Quote:
|
Well it's almost July so if it's going to come out in September they should start advertising more of the games, so far we got a small english trailer which isn't much...
|
I'm not one for making predictions. But I don't think it'll be December, and I sure hope not. Else, I'm going to be playing my Japanese version for a long while.

They just have to release it in the middle of the school year...
|
It has been confirmed to come out October 7th in the new commercial

Ah, I was reeallly hoping it was late August or early September, but I suppose I'm okay with this. It's nice that the US get the games before us again, though it isn't much of a difference so I'll just have to prevent myself from peeking at certain stuff. :x
|
Watch as Australia doesn't get it til 2 weeks later, lmao >__>
But yeah I expected it to be around November. October seems kinda a bit too early! Oh wait that's like 3-4 months nvm. n_n |
Quote:
Keep in mind that Australia got Black & White 4 days after America, I hope they pull something like that. |
I always thought Aus got it when the UK did. I never knew it was another date
|
Quote:
Sadly there is 5 days difference between the two even which isn't that great for Australia's release date. |
This one is especially for Nica.
Something tells me that Australians might have to wait until October 31st for B2/W2... what a disappointment cos this is a much longer gap between AUS/US releases than B/W. |
It is so nice to know the US gets it before Europe this time.
It is also great for it to be on a Sunday, because of school of course. |

Quote:
Remember that Australia got Gold & Silver BEFORE America. I just better hope it's not October 31st or I'll be disappointed cos then we'll heavily fall behind. The American and Australian release for Black & White was only a 4 day difference. Even worse if it's November. |
One of my Tumblr followers said that Australia and New Zealand are getting it October 25th, which is a Thursday, which is the day everything gets released here.
|
Since Australia isn't confirmed, no reason to lock this yet. Also, I get it before my birthday! Yay!
|
Why not just get the UK or the USA version if your in Aus. Its a DS game so it won't have a region lock right?
|
Quote:
But if I have to decide between import and waiting til release, even if it's 2 weeks later, then I'll just wait til the release. :x |
I think I am going to import the US copy like I did with BW1.
Hopefully these are region free on the DSi / 3DS like the english BW1. Quote:
Seeing as the release dates are close to each other like BW1, hopefully Nintendo will do the same thing and just make the english copies region free, as it's cheaper to do that rather than produce 2 / 3 different batches. |
For the english version, I'd say it would be late August, because A. It is slightly considered Fall and B. My birthday is around that time. :3
|
Ahh, October's a bit later than I was hoping for. :( Well, it's only a few weeks after what I assumed, so I don't mind waiting. I'm still not sure if I want summer to go slower or faster. XD;
|
I honestly don't mind about this date. :> There's only 4 months to wait, whereas for BW there was 8 months (inc September), so it's not really a long wait. I'm glad it's close to Christmas because I can just get the other version then. :D
|
It's a couple weeks after my Birthday so I'm not mad about it at all~ Gives me more time to save up for both at once~
|
Not too fussed. I need a job so I can have money to get it and a 3DS. I think I'll be fine by God's grace.
Overall, pretty meh date, I don't know why haha. Glad it isn't any later! |
Oh great. It is going to be released on October 7th. But luckily I found a sneak peak on Pokebeach!
|
Just as I expected, October is just four months away. I'm just glad it's getting release a few days before my birthday, perfect gift.
|
Whoever guessed that the release for Europe was the 12 was right...
Well glad to hear it comes out here on the seventh ^_^. I expect we will get the australian date announced next week. I guess this thread is now the australian release date speculation thread xD |

Quote:
I know that Australians are usually last when it comes to the English releases but some exceptions were Gold & Silver (Australia got it before the US) and Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver (Australia got those before Europe). So yeah, most even-numbered generations main games did not have Australia last in the English release. |
The 25th...that's a big difference from the US release...about 18 days to be exact, and 13 from Europes. My guess it it'll come out around the 14th, two days after Europe.
|
It'll be the 11th, 18th or 25th, unfortunately, because Australia gets new games on Thursday. Personally hoping it's the 11th. :x
|
I'm thinking the 18th than due to the pattern so far...it would be nice though if it was the 11th, the releases for Eu and Aus wouldn't be all that far apart that way.
|
Quote:
If they want Australia to be last then I'll say the 18th. 25th means we'll be too far behind. |
Okay so with B/W's release, it was the week before that UK got it, now it's the week after. While they can't give Australia a complete week before, they'll have the "middle ground" aka the earliest they can get without being the first so it'll be the 11th. /such logic
But yeah idk why they won't do the earliest possible. :x For B/W Australia wasn't intended to be last, but rather it worked out that way. So really in other words... 18th is too far away. n_n |
It really is compared to the US release date...while if it's the 11th it'll only be 4 days difference between ours, and one between Aus and Europe. That would be nice for those Australian who don't want to spoil themselves while watching as the American's and Europeans chat away about the games...
|
OK, now I browsed through Bulbapedia and discovered that in most cases in terms of main games, Australia's release date was BEFORE Europe's.
The only times Australia were last in the English release were Red & Blue and Black & White. Most of the time it was Europe that came last. So yeah I could be seeing the 11th as a possibility although they might go with the pattern that Red & Blue had: America > Europe > Australia. In the case with HeartGold & SoulSilver, the Australian and European release had a very small margin. The only time Europe was first was with Black & White, although they did get a few spinoffs before America. Does anyone think I have a point? Quote:
Australia was in the middle for all main games bar Black & White, Red & Blue and Gold & Silver. In the latter's case, Australia was actually FIRST. Yep, Gen II started in Australia before America. |
Octobah? Not bad :/
Too bad I din' get myself a job this summer :( ah well it's all good. Australians even though I live in California I feel ya pain. Though I'd be too busy during October anyways :P For the fact that the games have been revised plenty (the names aren't in need of being created) and UK and Aus all speak more or less American English I assume it shouldn't be that bad of a delay for y'all. Unless Nintendo of Australia gets really lazy. |
It's too bad it'll take them that long to get it over here. By the time it does there will have already been a complete english patch released.
|
I can't wait for October. I'm probably going to start saving up in August so I could buy the game along with necessities. I need to get it on release date since I did that for Pokemon Black.
|
As I predicted, Europe are getting it 12th October! US 7th which is great, early October is fine for me and it's not all that long away, only 3 months. After seeing all the new features in these games since it's release in Japan I've been becoming more eager to play these games so I really can't wait now!
|
Ah yes! Now this gives me time to get that new 3DS XL and play Black or White 2 in 1:1! :D
Kinda wished it was in september or something though, but October's fine too! |
As a sidenote, October 7 is part of a 3-day weekend for most people in North America, as October 8 is Columbus Day in the States as well as Canadian Thanksgiving.
|
We don't have columbus day in my state (not like I want to celebrate someone like columbus anyways) so yeah...
Perhaps Australia will break the pattern and get it on the 14 rather than the 25th,18th or 11th...or the 4th...lol would't it be funny if they did get it earlier everyone will be envious of Australians rather than the other way around. |
I was hoping for September, but hey, October's not bad ei-- oh wait crap, that's the height of band month. Soooo many competitions to go to. Which means less time to play, and I'll be buying them both. Hoooo boy! But still, it's nice to know the date now. Can't wait! But I mean, I have a Japanese copy that should be here soon, and I can't wait for that either. I am impatient lol. :(
|
Quote:
Also in most cases, Australia was second in terms of releases. Europe was often the one that came last although that wasn't the case for Red & Blue and Black & White. In the latter's case Europe got it first. |
Well I'm glad that it's released in october 7th as that gives me time to gather change and earn money after buying Kh3D at the end of July...so yeah 2 months and seven days to stuff up my in home piggy bank.
|
I'm actually glad about this, since it'll give me some time to save up some money after the mandatory purchase of KH3D.
...was still hoping for september though No, because my birthday is in November and this can be like an early birthday present. "Early" meaning "no I certainly will not wait to play it what are you smoking" |
I expected it to be later tbh, so in that regard I like it.
Of course I'd be in the middle of uni then, so WHOOPS. |
October? Could be worse. Pity though, cos my b-day's in September. Nvm I'll probably buy a copy for my brother and then steal his cartridge or something.
|
My Birthday is at the beginning of November so I was thinking that's just nice timing but knowing it's out I think I'll be too tempted to go out and buy it, I was expecting sometime in October but it's nice that it's around the beginning of it. IIRC it's the earliest Localization for any of the games so far, right?
|
OK guys, especially the Aussies involved in this discussion.
I have checked BulbanewsNOW's Twitter feed and it says the Australian release might be on October 12, which is the same day as the European release. It is unconfirmed at this point but I'm hoping this is true. |

Keep in mind these will be the first games since FireRed & LeafGreen to have the Japanese and international releases in the same year. The translation team sure have been working hard just to get the game released internationally this year rather than waiting until 2013. Most international releases usually occur like, one year after the Japanese release. |
I cannot wait for the English version to come out this fall! It will definitely be worth the wait! I plan on using the key link to start my Black2/White2 game on Challenge mode from the very beginning!

I could see October 11 to be the closest to what was leaked, cos the 18th would be too far into the month. |
Haha. Dunno if it's already been mentioned, but the Peeta Mellark guy gets Pokemon BW2 for his birthday. Lol ^_^ (If he just happened to be in Europe at that time anyway...)
That's actually pretty awesome timing, since it's about a week before my birthday that they come out in Europe. Woop woop! Here's to getting games on time for once ;3 |
^_^ How nice if the australian release dates is on the 12th, that would mean a shorter wait for downunder. Also waiting one day later than tradition is better than keeping tradition and getting them 6 days after Europe imo...
|
All the Aussies will be spoiled if there's an 11 day wait from US to AUS. A 4 or 5 day wait, not so much.
Double post, but Australia gets BW2 on October 11. |

Quote:
Anyways, I'm glad cos it's not too late into the month. Had the Australian release been like, the 18th then me and my Australian brethren would have gotten unfortunate spoilers. But anyways, at least we get it before Europe (but then again Australia got most games before Europe). |
YES I WAS RIGHT. OR W/E I WAS. I SAID SOMEWHERE IT WAS A TYPO FOR 11TH, YES. AND STUFF LIKE:
Quote:
|
Congrats! But it's great to see you guys getting it earlier this time.
|
|
October 7 in the US, huh? Does this release date also apply to Canada?
|
Quote:
|
The US release date is also known as North American Release date and Canada is part of North America XD TPCi counts the two countries as 1 apparently XD
|
I *think* the NA release date might also be the release date for Mexico, but that needs confirmation.
|
Even though it is an annoyance to have like all video games released on Thursdays, I'm very satisfied with the 11th. Getting through those four days will be tough though.
|
Typically, the games are released in English on a Sunday (and in the Spring as well), so as the above poster pointed out, it will indeed be a tough four days. :P I'm trying to save up as much as possible to get one of the two games as well upon immediate release, so yeah, I am a bit anxious as well lol.
|
Since october 7th is so far from any major holiday i will have to buy the games for myself
*sighs* well i guess im gettin black 2 then white 2 later around thanksgiving |
Canadians only have to wait one day for their Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I'm American, so I have to settle for Columbus Day, which doesn't even get me a day off from school.
|
I'm excited to get White 2 when it's released, but the release date is in the middle of no extra money period. Going to have to figure out a way to allocate some funds. :[
