4th Gen To those who have to wait until the 25th/26th

Waiting for official release - haven't seen any Pokewalker ROMs yet. :)

Historically Europe has always been keep waiting for new releases - lot of translation work to do for all the countries, legal constraints and different ratings systems. I believe French and German law has banned slot machines in Games Arcade this time round.

It was the European Parliament as a whole, not just France and Germany :C I actually prefer the Voltorb flip but that's another topic

And I have been saving €40 to buy the game for four months or so, so I guess I'll pay a visit to the old videogame shop near my house in exactly 7 days :D

I have a question. The mother tongue of the U.K is English right?

If I'm right on that, why don't they recieve the game the same time as us, or maybe even sooner?

Because it's not like YOUR english is different than ours, right?

Plus you live closer to Japan.

So why do you have to wait so much longer?

Umm, yeah, YOUR English isn't actually English. In fact, from experience, the English spoken in Canada is closer to UK English than US English is. If I said rubbish, that would be trash. There are many more words and idioms that are not the same between colloquialisations of English, which means this will all have to be 'translated' in order to get the same points across.

That, and if you look on the carts, USA and EUR define, showing there is a difference.
 
Does anyone import it from the US?
 
I have imported Heart Gold and will pre-order soul Silver.

Heart Gold:

Evolved cyndaquil already

The Goods that came today

I never ever had the desire to get both games in a series like pokemon, but for some reason am going crazy and getting both, US and UK. Enjoying the revamped UI so far, took its time but it got there!
 
Usually I import, but it's cheaper to wait, so I'm getting it next week. :P My current predicament is whether to buy from GAME or Amazon. Amazon's 17p cheaper, but GAME has the figurines... /: They might have run out though.
 
Aww , my country ...

Romania . I had searched the PMD EoS for AGES and my mum went to Austria !! :D Yayy , TRU there ... !

She got thet for me ! :D :D I was ultramegahappy , no sign of this game in Romania ...

But , ): starting from early 2010 January , the shops were FLOODED with Pokemon Pt. and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon : EoS . It was just like someone got an aawakening ... :D

So I hope that these fools will make a mistake and bring the US HeartGold here . And yes , it is possible , I had seen the US Pt. somewhere in May 2009 but my mum disagreed ... ): . So , I just haunt the shops .. :P
 
Lol, my parents wouldn't even let me pre-order....(I was hoping it might happen like it did to some in the U.S. who got it early). And I only have 2 days to get it before I will really need it to keep me happy on a mega-long bus journey...
