4th Gen US D/P Release Date

I better start saving up for the Diamond or Pearl. Four months will hopefully go by quickly.
 
Meh just import it over eBay.

And well I was quite surprised at first [2nd post] but thinking about it its ok as thats about my Easter break in school. I just hope I can get it on eBay imported cause I'm not waiting til September!

I would import, but there hasn't been any confirmation if the U.S. version will work with my European Sapphire/Fire Red...

Unlucky, but I strike lucky twice if I get this imported from US cause I bought my Pokemon Emerald off eBay from America before it came out in UK! So Im gonna have an american veresion of both games xD!
 
This ain't fair, why can't UK and America have Pearl/Diamond out on the same date. It saddens me and makes me wish i was in America. And also, do you know when they were doing the deoxys/mew patch it was all the way somewhere out london. PLEASE COME TO LONDON!
 
And of course use Europeans will not only have to wait longer for the games, but for the release date too. <.< Oh well, if the US Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the European R/S/E/FR/LG, I'll probably import Diamond anyway, so I'll just have to hope they are compatible.

But still, a European release date would be nice. ._. Europe needs more love, people! ;_;
 
just thinking about it April is the mounth with the Diamond birthstone so was the coinsedence? :)

Yeah, I know. I wonder if my Japanese Pearl's going to be compatible with my US FireRed, it said on Serebii that most Pokemon from different region games can go on D/P via the foriegn dex thing from Pal Park, I hope it doesn't mean only those Pokemon that are listed on the site can go on due to the foriegn dex feature and not the ones not listed there. That would mean only my Pikachu would go on there....... :(
EDIT: I think it works..... https://youtube.com/watch?v=YicEr1RCuEY the names of the Pal Parked Pokemon are in FULL ENGLISH, yes!

I dont like having permanent nicknames when you trade, while were on the subject. I know its about respecting that persons decision and blah blah, but theres a name rater! I think you should be able to change it regardless of whether its traded or not, then when you trade it back, the OT can change it back to the whay he/she had it
 
i dont care about the release date.... i care about when i can begin to reserve the game.
so, can we reserve DP yet? :)

I believe some pre-order sites are selling them, but I don't know about the official ones.

Yes, yes we can. I've already reserved them both (yeah, both). And I made sure to check: survey says......MSRP is $34.99!!!
 
Ok so April 22nd 2007 *writes on hand* Man i hope a time machine crash lnds in my backyard so i can get it! but i am still confused abut Australian release date
 
you know what's REALLY strange? i just preordered my copy of Pokemon Pearl @ Amazon, and usually, when you select faster shipping, you are charged several bucks more.

being the impatient person that i am, i just went along and originally put in in 1-2 days shipping and went along with paying an extra 10 bucks more than standard for shipping. that's when i looked at the "Estimated Shipping Day"... it said April 23rd.

i then went to the next priority shipping option (which is 5 bucks more than standard) and it said April 24th. this was fishy, so i looked at free shipping... the 26th. then i looked at Standard, which is a flat 5 dollar fee, and the Estimated Day was the 22nd. maybe i am misunderstanding the Shipping Day with Arrival Day, but either way, the Standard Shipping Option (3-5 days i beleive) would get here either before, or on the same day.

anyone who cared to read all that care to explain this to me?

Alright...

1. Shipping Day isn't always the same as Arrival Day. It could take time for them to mark the games & ship them.

2. My guess: a lot of people signed up for the faster shipping methods already, so your order would take longer to be processed since there's such a long list. However, few people signed up for the standard shipping, so your order would be shipped out fast.
 
thanks ;)... makes sense. i was going to preorder at Gamestop, which would be around 45 US, but i managed to stick one out on Amazon for just 40. that's a couple fatty cheeseburgers i wouldn't otherwise eat...
