4th Gen 4th Generation Release Dates and Speculation Thread

[Aquanut]

So, using this information and averaging release dates of R/S/E/FR/LG, I have deduced that it could be...
Japan: Thursday 28th September 2006
US: Thursday 5th April 2007
Europe: Sunday 22nd July 2007

Ack, I can't wait... I hope it comes out earlier, but I am a bit doubtful. I live in Europe, so more time to wait... -_-

• Japan: Thursday 28th September 2006
• US: Thursday 5th April 2007
• Europe: Sunday 22nd July 2007

By your logic, Australia would get D/P around late April-early May. IMO, the rest of the world would get them around March-May. Still, the sooner the better. :)

I have a funny feeling that it might come out for the U.S anywhere from April-June of 2007

So there is there still no affical realse date for d/p yet for the U.S.?

 

[♥Nova♥]

There is still sadly no Official Release Date for the US or anywhere. I hope there is soon though. I'm really looking foward to these Games.

 

[Gary the Magic Fairy]

I heard somewhere that its coming out in Spring of '07 in the US. I cant remember where though :\

 

[Auron]

The only official Release Date is the Japanese, and it's on September 28th.

In Europe will be in 2007.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I really don't think that Diamond and Pearl will come out on September 28th. There is one more month to go and there not giving enough information for the two games. There are 22 real Pokemon so far and therre are about 18 fake Pokemon its annoying.

How is it not coming out on Sept. 28th? All the Japanese commercials have that date on them, and it's not like they're gonna lie about it.
Besides, they've already released enough information as it is. They're not going to spoil the whole game before it comes out.

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

What I mean is, they didn't come up with enough game data and your right about not spoiling the game. But what I mean is that there isn't enough Pokemon.

There's plenty of Pokémon.
They already revealed all three starters and the legendary ubers, they revealed several pre-evolutions and a couple of evolutions and a bunch of new Pokémon like Pachirsu and Dorapion. They're more than ready in releasing the games.

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

But unlike the other games. The other games revealed atleast 150 brand new Pokemon. i was hoping they would do the same for diamond and Pearl. But on the other hand I relized it must be very difficult to make all new sprites for the other 386 Pokemon. Plus making more for the Unowns, Castform and Deoxys because they have more forms.

[Auron]

But, I think this release is full of surprises !! ^_^

That's good, adds mistery xD

 

[Vulcan]

from what I've seen, the starters are the fire monkey dude, the penguin water guy, and the little grass dinosaur lookin guy...is that right? (although english names are yet to be revealed...I won't even bother typing the japanese names- lol)

nnooooooooo they're not. :)
I'm still waiting for a brand-new three stage evolution chain.

I want 100 new pokemon! I hope they're saving the best pokemon for last because the new pokemon i know right now from serebii are...... NOT GOOD. :)


and pokemon's so big that plenty of ideas are thought up by fans. ideas shouldn't be a problem. just hire one more pokemon fanatic and you'll get 5 or 10 more new original pokemon!

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

But what they should have done was revealed the first 9 4th generation Pokemon, thats what they should have done. Well not revealing all of the new Pokemon but atleast half of the new Pokemon.

dates

When people say Spring (N Hemi)/Autumn (S Hemi), I think that is too late. That is about 6-8 months away. It does not take that long to translate the game and I am adamant that it will be released in time for Christmas (they'd be silly not to!).

There's 3 months between Jap release and Xmas so why not?

If us Aussies get a worse release date than US or Europe, my nan lives in England and buys us things often, so I can ask her to buy me the game and I will send over the money :D

Thanks to my mum for that idea (great person for help - quick thinking and smart)

It's already confirmed that the U.S. will have a Spring '07 launch. It may take more than three months to translate, it took about 10 months for Mystery Dungeon.

Yea I think that it is going to take longer considering the DS holds more data then the GBA

Mystery Dungeon was released on the DS also.
