‘Black’ and ‘White’ American Release Date in April?

Two different readers have informed us that they went to Gamestop to pre-order Pokemon Black and White and they were told that the games will be released in America on Friday, April 22nd - the original release date of Diamond and Pearl - for $40.00 each. This date is probably an educated guess of around when the games will be released based on the fourth generation's launch date, so it's most likely not the exact date, especially since major Pokemon titles are released on Sundays. However, the date does give us an indication of around the time the games will be released here in America.

Gamestop also revealed that if you pre-order the games, instead of receiving a stylus, you'll be able to download Zoroark to your games. Since no pre-order gifts have been announced yet, the employees probably meant that Gamestop stores will have a Zoroark download event soon. Whether or not this means we'll get shiny Entei, Suicune, or Raikou remains to be seen (since you need them to get Zoroark in the first place), so perhaps their event will take place soon, maybe around the premiere of the Zoroark movie on Cartoon Network.

You need a crown dog to get Zoroark? If I have them from Japan in my SoulSilver game and transfer it over, will that work?

Is it also true that you can obtain Zorua using a Movie 13 Celebi?
I have one of those... also Japanese.

$40... :c same as SS i guess... but but D: i need a new stylus...

too bad you cant get zoro AND a stylus

I want zoro, a stylist AND a figure ;3

if this is right the release date is 1 day after my B-day, meaning I don't have to pay for them WOO-HOO! and yay for zoro!

Yay! It's release is a week before my birthday! :3 I might want an early birthday present.

I wish it come out tomorrow =p thatd be nice

April 22nd you say? 8 days before my Birthday. I'll probably end up buying White version and get Black for my birthday.

Yay, a whole month before my birthday. :c

this sound kinda funny to me. I mean your not getting the most for your money. just like before in the past games red blue and yellow they gave out mew to a select group are they only going to give out these events to poeple who pre order????

pretty much~ that's what they've been doing~ *looks over to giratina and lugia on the top of my TV* -3- event pokes arent much diff than figurines

yes they are D: *Flashback* I forgot to claim my lugia Figurine even tho I pre-ordered T^T

But Zorark will be cool, and Im planning on pre-order both of em, so yeah...

They should've just handed you the figurine, so they might have been out by the time you went to pick yours up.

People were PISSED at the gamestop I went to, because you only got a figure if you pre ordered before a specific date. So if they preordered within like 1-2 months of it being released, they didn't get one.
