Pokemon Diamond und Pokemon Pearl im September?

11.06.06 - Pokemon Diamond und Pokemon Pearl von Nintendo sollen nach Großhandelsangaben am 26.09.06 in Japan ausgeliefert werden. Nintendo hat den Termin noch nicht bestätigt.

If Nintendo haven't made an announcement then where did the site get this information?
 
Sweet! Since it took about 5 months to get most of the main games to America, we should have it in the states by January!

Of course, if this is correct!

Uhhh, but what will this mean for the Anime? Rushing!!!!
 
It's a rumour, the site even says as much. It is not confirmed.

I do wonder where they picked it up though. It might still hold true - and is certainly a very likely date.

If it is merely a rumour, the real date will probably end up being pretty much the same anyway.
 
That just barely makes it into the fall season. I very much doubt it will be ready by then, but I know nothing and neither does anyone else, except those on the inside, who have not spoken yet. With the fact that they're going to have a demo so early may prove me wrong, though. That kind of thing usually means that they are fleshing out what the game is going to be like now.
 
The Games Industry's autumn typically begins about the end of August - when money is spent on school, not games, so they begin their autumn season stuffs instead.

The end of September falls slap bang into the middle of autumn for them really - rarely does it stretch as far as Halloween.

Oh, and Emerald was demoed at Festa this time in 2004, and was out on September 9th. So, yeah. ^^
 
Plus, we've been waiting like over 4 years, so atleast they could give it a little earlier then the main games are usually released (in november)
 
If that release date is true, then that's why the anime has been rushing through the BF saga for the last couple of months.
 
It's been rushing since the Battle Arena. If anything, the recent Pyramid developments are expanding it out since they have to do something until the release date.
 
September 26 seems... unlikely. It's not a Thursday. All the recent game releases have been on Thursday. (No doubt so that the anime can be used as a big advertisement.)
 
Umm...well....could maybe they be having a schedule change of Pokemon to Tuesayds?

Or perhaps this is the shipping date, and so usually the release date is 2 days after, a Thursday?
 
NDS Lite was released on a Sunday in North America, which is VERY unusual. Tuesday is traditionally DVD/Music/Game release day here. So I wouldn't be suprised if Sept 26th was the release date. Some time in September seems likely.
