Somewhat related to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. For April Fools Day this year, they've briefly replaced Pikachu on the 25th anniversary logo with Bidoof.

Can we please get the older, old forum back?
Just saying: Kin/gin = Gold/Silver, which probably wouldn't refer to L:A.
Song was catchy as heck.

You know Early 2022 can also mean the first half of the year in general.

Not really, when you start getting around May or June then that would be considered mid-2022.
Generally when something is label as coming out in early 2022 for instance it generally means it’s coming out in January-March 2022.

I can see a late October/early November release.

I'm assuming it'll November as well. Most likely by the middle-end of the month time.

My guess is November for BD/SP and March for Legends: Arceus, but it would be nice to get either a little earlier than that. I'm still undecided on whether to get BD/SP at all or skip them and go straight to Legends: Arceus.

The fiscal year moves in quarters. For marketing and release, it starts in January:
Q1: January-March
Q2: April-June
Q3: July-September
Q4: October-December
Preliminary windows, of course, could flex the above quarters, and even intertwine. 'Early Year' windows may sometimes include April, but they virtually never include May or June. May releases are typically referred to early on as a 'Spring' release, while June is typically referred to as a 'Summer' or 'Mid-Year' release.
Early Year: January-April
Spring: March-May
Mid-Year: June-August
Summer: June-August
Fall: September-November
Late Year: October-December
Winter: November-December
Of course, these window names apply to countries in the Northern hemisphere, and are mostly used in the western world, primarily the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.

I think Joe mentioned that in the Japanese website, BDSP's release is winter 2021.

OR/AS - November
Sun/Moon - November
Ultra Sun/Moon - November
LGP/E - November
Sword/Shield - November
And that's going back seven years. Now, yes, maybe Legends coming hot on its heels changes the math a little, but if you had to pick one month to bet on, it's probably not October or December.

I’m with the others. Almost certainly guaranteed to be a November release, given that was the case with every main series game since OR/AS, and TPCi obviously want that sweet Christmas revenue.

I think being able to transfer Pokemon from Home is very likely.

I'm fairly certain we'll be able to transfer from BDSP to Home and vice versa.
Back in 2019 Masuda mentioned that Pokémon Home is meant to be the hub for all future Pokémon games. While I know we won't be able to transfer any 'mons from Let's GO to BDSP, I'm confident in saying transferring between SWSH and BDSP will be possible.

Well, not all of them. A Pikachu caught in Let's Go can still be brought over to BDSP because we have confirmation that Pikachu is obtainable in it.
