Re: Pokémon Black and White 2 coming to North America and Europe this autumn: Nintend

Well we know the games will be released on a Sunday. I looked at my calendar for September and looked at all the Sundays in September.
September 2nd 2012
September 9th 2012
September 16th 2012
September 23rd 2012
September 30th 2012
What if the games were released on September 2nd 2012?
It's exactly three months after the Japanese release, and it's the day before Labor Day which would be an extra day for the weekend.

Either the 16th or the 23rd if its released in September. If the EU gets it first Autumn for Europe begins on the 21st so the 23rd is just two days after which fits with how things usually work. Either way can't wait for this.

I also don't get why people are considering these as a 3rd version split into two. It's pretty obvious that there's certain parts in Black and White that you cannot combine for a 3rd version, and so the next best thing for them to do is make a sequel for each of the versions instead.
I don't understand this mindset, although you're probably just quoting other people. "The next best thing?" Although we don't know anything substantial about the games yet, it is pretty much guaranteed that they will have more new content than a third version would, so where is the drawback?

Think he mixed his words up and meant to say this is the obvious route to got, in terms of the storylines.

I'm not sure about seasons in the US, but here Autumn doesn't officially start until the 21st of the month. So September 23rd is probably the earliest if US and EU are released at the same time, but who knows your Labour Day prediction may come true and you might get it a few weeks before us.
Games have been released in the not so exact seasons before. In August 2009, Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver were confirmed for a Spring 2010 release, they were released on March 14th 2010. 7 days before Spring officially began. In May 2010, Pokemon Black and White were confirmed for a Spring 2011 release, then they were released on March 6th 2011. That was 15 days before it was officially Spring. So the release of the games doesn't really depend on the exact date of the season, just as long as it's in the month of the season when the games are going to be released.

Woo-Hoo! Makes me actually want to enjoy life now. What will they do about Worlds VGC though since the Japanese could already have Black/White 2?

I know it might be a bit early, but I'm really hoping for an early September release so I can get them for my birthday! :D

*looks at all the things coming out that she wants, checks her wallet, out flies dust* D:>
Well that means I have to save up a lot more because I want these and 3ds+3ds game. Oh well!

I'm quite happy that these games are going to released that soon though! Although the Kyurem/Reshiram and Kyurem/Zekrom forms are going to take some getting used to.

That's much earlier than I expected. (I'm ready now)

All right. New guess: release date of late-October to first week of November.

I figure the ones this year, they'll still only allow the first BW games. By that time, almost everyone (except the last chance qualifiers) only got there with the original versions. (I'm assuming you mean this year's, as Japan always had more time than any other country for Worlds).

Yay, I have more time to finish Black 1, HeartGold, and Kid Icarus: Uprising than if they came out in June :D

I'm a she... and the both of you guys are wrong in what I was trying to say. I don't even know what I was saying myself, I'm just in a weird mood today I guess.

I'm sad the rumor about it coming out in Japan and the US at the same time weren't true, but its still better than maybe having to wait until after Christmas.

XD was translated the fastest, the very first English screens were released two days before the Japanese release in August 2004, and exactly two months later, XD was out in October, making it the quickest waiting time between the Japan and US release of a Pokemon game on record, of course, this is possibly because the translation team probably started the translation early

As for main series games, it takes 5-7 months, even for third versions, which usually would only take, at most, two weeks to simply copy and paste all the dialogue from the first two games, with a coming fall release, we are looking at a November/December release in US/Europe, probably after the day the world ends, but with the announcement being so recent, it's possible that they started the translation early, meaning sometime from early September to early October, which is what I am hoping for.

Re: Pokémon Black and White 2 coming to Europe "this autumn": Nintendo of Europe ...

You'd think they'd wait until next year, with the process of translation and all...

Perhaps they've been working on it a lot longer than we originally thought? That's my take on the quick translation. Maybe they've already begun the translation process that normally take half a year. Or it could just be their translators got cocky.

Second fastest. Pokédex 3D actually came out in English before Japanese (admittedly there wasn't that much to translate).

That's what I think too. Pokemon games release dates are revealed 3 months before they're released. A release date reveal in June would put us for a September release in the US.
