Sorry if it's already been posted but PokeMon will hit the DS on March 26th! Plus the PokeWalker accesory to take around with you!
I know that I'll be waiting until March to pick up a new DSi and the new games (probably HeartGold first), but does the PokeWalker need to be on belt or can it work in pocket bag etc?
:)

Ooh we have a date now? I'll keep some money aside ot buy it when it comes out. I wonder if we'll get free styluses with the two legendaries like with Pearl and Diamond? Because currently I have no stylus. |:

Can't wait for the games anyway though! =D

I'm guessing that's also the Australian release date? 'Cause it's the same language?

Anyway, I can't wait!

It's interesting that this date is seemingly the official thing now (although it could still be subject to an unlikely change), given it's rather close to the American date. One wonders when the Australian release will be...

Only about two weeks after the English release, it's actually quite sooner than expected. More or less, it's actually an official release date for the UK. Though, like mentioned one does wonder when Australia will receive there copy.

If anything, it may be possibly sooner than originally thought, but that's just a guess.

Official Nintendo Magazine(UK) confirmed the UK date.
So it's likely not to change, give or take a day...

Gonna pre-order from amazon soon.
Or possibly just reserve a copy at GAME.

Only minorly doubtful as on serebii.net they also mention that despite the source anything could happen... but probably more due to the fact such a date has been given, really - it looks like to be true and all but I doubt many expected them to be this quick. XD

Amazon.co.uk are stating that March 26th is the official release date, and considering how slow they've been in putting HG/SS on their site at all, I think you could say it's pretty accurate. :3

...I'm more inclined to trust the offical Nintendo magazine source than amazon. XD (If they happened to have said different dates, which they didn't). Before Amazon listed HG/SS for America on Christmas, and Gamestop said 1st of April, so they can tend to be off at times if it's just them giving dates out.

I'm so glad it isn't coming out ages after the US date. Is there any real reason for that? All they have to do is change 'elevator' to 'lift' and i don't think they even do that.

Still, i'm not gonna complain about something that isn't relevant to HGSS!!! JOY!!!

I'm not sure I'll get it. My interest in pokemon is declining. Though if I do buy it I'm likely to use the gym. xD
I know it isn't necessary to run or walk but yeah.

Haha, brilliant. Too bad I won't have enough money to buy them due to having to save up for cosplay for the London MCM Expo... Damn it, hopefully I'll have enough money to put by to by at least one of them.

Definitely worth pre-ordering from Amazon considering it's only £30 at the moment, with the RRP on its release being £39.99. I was going to wait a few months and get SoulSilver once I've completed HeartGold, but screw it, I'm getting both!
Though I'm disappointed there seems to be no promo items with it... :(

If I had to choose my dependent value on either an official source or Amazon, I would more than likely turn to an official source. Noting how UK's release date was informed through their Official Nintendo Magazine the likeliness of the release date changing is slim. Amazon on another note (as well as GameStop) would rather list an estimated date or placeholder until the release date is announced (like done so recently).

Besides change in a few words, the Euro version of the game also had to negate the allowance of enabling players to take part in the Game Corners of the game. Taking note of the recent pattern how the UK version of the game was usually at least three months after the US release of past Pokémon games, it was unexpected for it to be this early. As to why it usually took so long more before, the answer to that is inevitable, however it seems they put more effort into the release in HG/SS than some before it.

Dude. This constitutes as spam.
Besides, it's a difference of personal opinion. Not fact.

We say elevator here in Ireland, and in England. Not lift.
Color needs to be changed to Colour. Favor to Favour.
There's a lot of words in the English language that Americanised English has different.
Such as realise being realize in America.
Seriously though, why does Americanised English have such minor differences?

Anyway...
Like other people said. There's the disabling of the Game Corner.
And I assume some code has to be changed so that we receive events given out here in the UK.
Same goes for the whole code.
If the thing was exactly the same, we'd also be able to use the States HG/SS AR Codes. But we can't. So there's more to change than you think.

Might pre-order it now. =D

Yeah.Actually, most Cumbrians (part of England the news ignores.But Scottish news ignores us too), say lift.

But mint!!!I knew it'd be close to US, like Platinum.I mean, we get US wi-fi events, not Europe ones
