If the game is supposed to be released on March 6, why does Best Buy.com say its release date is April 1?

In reply to Sponge. It's great to be optimistic, but don't get your hopes up. The pokecenter in New York tends to do pre-release events, and since the calender was shipped out to event holders....well, it's definitely a possibility that the 4th was highlighted for the big pre-release event.

In reply to Shamose. You said it yourself: the gaps are shortening. Nintendo now knows Europe is as important as the US, and therefore it tries to release at the same time. In some cases Europe got things way before the US, like Pokepark. It wouldn't surprise me if March 4 turns out to be true.

In reply to TheFreak. Most likely with black sides like the GBA did on the DS or with the option of upscaling, wich isn't difficult to do. Keep in mind however that you don't see extra detail, it only fits on the screen size.

If previous releases are any indication Europe/Australia will be a few weeks/months behind the US release;

HG/SS
US March 14, 2010
AUS March 25, 2010
EU March 26, 2010

Platinum:
US March 22, 2009
EU May 22, 2009
AUS May 14, 2009

Diamond/Pearl:
US April 22, 2007
AUS June 21, 2007
EU July 27, 2007

I hope the wait is not as intense as Diamond and Pearl :/ Mind you there does seem to be a trend for shorting the release date between US and EU/AUS

if you go here http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/ and click Australia it says early 2011, click UK it says spring 2011….

Wait if the 3ds is BC, then how do ds games deal with the changed screen sizes and the fact that the resolution is much higher?

In reply to Keyblader Jahu.

Nobody said it that there are absolutely none coming out. But why would they still publish big-budget titles? They have to focus on the 3DS so that is sells, instead of still promoting the DS. People will than stick to their phat DS’s.
Yes, there are still games coming for it, but none with a budget of 20 million dollars.
And look at the PS2. Sony still sells and supports it. There are still games coming for it, but most are downports. I can’t think of a very good original title that launched this year. However the 3DS has BC and the PS3 not, so people can still buy them.

The DS isn’t dead, but it isn’t full of life either.
