You heard it here first. The UK is getting it before the US.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

A while back we stood behind a rumour that the Pokémon Black & White would be released in Blighty on March 4th. This would make it the first time that a major Pokémon RPG saw a release in the UK before it hit the States. This has now been confirmed by Nintendo.

What does this mean for the rest of you in the other European countries? Will Germans be found wanting? Will the Danes be forced to wait? No way José (or other regional varient of that name)! Since this is not just the UK release, oh no, this date encompases everyone in Europe. Hell to the yea!

We at PKMN.NET applaud Nintendo's move to release it in Europe before the US. But this does raise a few questions:

Will this stop the UK audience from complaining about getting games after the Americans? Does this mark the beginning of a new trend in Nintendo release dates? Will there be an exclusive EU Pokémon for the release based on a blend of pizza, bratwurst and Yorkshire pudding? Stay tuned to PKMN.NET for the answers... it's no
