Pokemon Platinum European Release Date

I’ve always said that as soon as I know the date for the European release of Pokemon Platinum, I’ll post it here, and that’s what I’m doing. In the most recent weekly newsleter I get from Nintendo’s European site, it mentioned that Pokemon Platinum will be released on May 22nd, exactly 2 callender months after the US.

Now it should be noted that this may not be the actual date as this isnt a source I’d expect to find this info first, however since it is direct from Nintendo, it’s a good place to start. It’s also earlier than my July 24th prediction made a couple of posts ago, but in the end, isn’t that a good thing.

I’ll bring you more when I learn about it

Extra Air Date

In an amendmet to the previous post (see below) Pokemon.com is saying that the 11th Pokemon movie Giratina and the Sky Warrior will be aired on Cartoon Network in the U.S on Friday the 13th of February at 7pm (not sure if thats a specific time zone or if it releates to all of them – better check your TV guides to make sure you dont miss it).

The movie will be repeated on the previously announced Sunday the 15th February at the same time of 7pm.

Release Schedule

Here at The Pika Club, we like to try and keep you informed of things happening in the Pokemon world. So we present to you a quick list of important dates for the next month or so:

Sunday 8th March – Saturday 21st March: Special Regigigas available from Toys R Us in the United States. This is the Regigigas that when transferred to Pokemon Platinum, will be able to unlock Regice, Registeal and Regirock for you to capture. This is the ONLY Regigigas that will allow you to be able to do that (it’s the same one that was given away in Japan last year)

 

Sunday 22nd March: Pokemon Platinum for the DS is released in the United States.

 

Tuesday 31st March: Pokemon Movie 11: Giratina and the Sky Warrior will be released on DVD out in America according to Amazon.com. This date could change as there is no official word on its release yet

 

Currently we still don’t have a release date for the UK/European release of Pokemon Platinum on DS. A rumour going around suggests it’s released at the end of July, which is when several Pokemon games have been released over here in the past. If true, they I’d personally guess that it would be the 24th or 31st of July, but that’s only a guess on my part and not in anyway official. As soon as we get an official date, we’ll post it here.
