Pokémon Diamond and Pearl "To be released before the end of this year"

[QUOTE='Bulbapedia]While no formal release date has yet been announced, an official statement was made today at the Nintendo DS Conference! Spring 2006 (ニンテンドーDS カンファレンス！ 2006.春」), promising that the eagerly awaited Pokémon Diamond and Pearl games will be released in Japan sometime before the year ends. This is the first press conference statement regarding the games since the original announcement of the games being in development. [/QUOTE]

Couldnt see this on the main site or this forum. Better then nothing, hey?

brilliant punk-dude-danny. well actually i was expecting them to come out this year in Japan anyway, so...oh well at least i know when to expect pics and pokemon and stuff! Spring! thats not too far away...is it?

 

[Char1016]

Got happy for sure. Great job ~Emo-Kid-Danny~

 

[MaskedManAbsolkid]

It won't be out Spring, I'm positive of that. Summer and Autumn are possibilities.

 

[~Shining-Metagross~]

Don't thank me, I was just on the right website at the right time....=P

But this is good news. I expect screens in about April-May time(Following the pattern of R/S/E/Lg/Fr, screens were released about 4 mounths before it was released.)

 

[sam_h12]

i can't wait to see the screens. i still remember one of GCS first screens: the guy standing in the magnet train at night. ahhh...

and RSE! Pelipper and Volbeat vs Duskull and Sharpedo. and i think the other one was somewhere raining...?

yeah so i think there'll be a filed pic and a battle pic that'll be released first.

Although, normally the first screens are beta shots. I mean, the graphics from the first shots of R/S greatly improved. So what we see(When we see) might not be what we get.

Wow that is the most un-news news I have ever heard

We have known that it is coming in 2006 for quite a while, was said in the interview back in August in CoroCoro

 

[Char1016]

I don't think that kind of these news should be known to everyone because when I know that they're coming out in 2006, I can't sleep the whole night. .

Hey, what can I say =P

But this kinda gives us a more of an general idea, rather then just "2006". Although it isnt much, I admit. XP

 

[MaskedManAbsolkid]

Yes, Serebii, but this is proof in case people say it's delayed.

I expect screens in around June.

If you're right then we should get it by Christmas!
or was that when Japan gets it?

 

[~*Dairuga*~]

Its when Japan gets it

 

[sam_h12]

stupid england doesnt get them until about three centuries after they're released in japan.

I know, when are Nintendo going to start taking Europe seriosly? It's really anoying. Ah well, still, pics are good for me. At least they'll be out around mid-2006.

 

[Mequuh]

Awesome... I guess I'll save some of my money until then. I figured around Spring 2007..

That's why you can import it from the US when we get it

Damn, I hope it comes out here soon, I don't want to way that long...besides, there isn't much left in the Battle Frontier for Ash & Co to do. That means they would have to jump into the next series without the games (unless they decide to launch the games in November along with the show on the 21st or something)

Now, if i am understanding this correctly(and correct me so i understand better), D/P wont be out in Japan till around April/May, therefore it wont be out in Canada/U.S. till around maybe at the most October/November December. This is sort of screwy as Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire came out in March 2003/4. Then Emerald came out in May 2005.

Well, they took an extra year to bring this sucker out, lets hope they used it wisely. My biggest hope for this thing is that it has the gameplay of R/S/E, with the graphics of S/C/XD.

FINALLY!!!

 

[CyberCubed]

No, D/P won't come out in Japan before September. Thinking otherwise is ridiculous.

The 9th AG movie comes out in July, and that more or less is a "preview" of the D/P gen.

D/P won't come out in the U.S. till sometime in 2007 and it won't be out in Japan until after Summer.

 

[Ethereal]

I expect a Fall release. I'm guessing that Summer will be devoted to Pokemon Ranger, what with the new movie focusing on Pokemon Rangers. Then, once that's outta the way, D/P in the Fall.

I'm expecting the next Japan annual event that usually includes Pokemon will give some long awaited f'ing screenshots. -_-
