Really? What is so hard to translate that to English?

Latin America, Belgium (French and Dutch), Canada (French), Germany, Spain, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal and UK/Ireland.

Gosh.

Gosh, Maxim is being picky about stupid things. This is completely unprecedented. I better write a Bulbanews article about it.

Gosh.

Why does it bother you that all countries were listed in their respective languages?

Anyway, the site is pretty elaborate. It actually makes me excited for these games even more ... which is basically what it's about.

Still looks like its in its most basic form, what with the "full site comming soon" text at the top. Looks nice so far, but its hard to believe that these games come out in a little over a month. I'm sooooo excited!!

Nice Ecruteak artwork there. I'm still excited!

I really love the site's design. It doesn't feel as cluttered as the Japanese version was (although that could be because it's still a work-in-progress, so it's obviously gonna be simpler for the time being :P).

I wish we didn't have to wait another month. T_T

Maxim's point is completely valid. Newspapers do not write country or language names in the language in question, like I never would say "I live in Suomi whose official languages are suomi and svenska". Smells like lazy editing to me.

Also, nice work out there. Can't see the site with my mobile browser. Why is it so hard to design websites without the crappy Adobe Flash?

Well, I guess the content is cool based on what the article says. I'll look further into it tomorrow when I have access to a PC.

Glad that it came out a little over a month before the releases. Pokemon WM are really good at that. I remember when the Naruto:UN3 site was up for 6 months before the actual release.

But in any case, That pokewalker looks fun to mess around with.

Looks good. Here's hoping more stuff will be up soon though.

Do we only get the Ho-Oh or Lugia figurine if we pre-order from the site itself, or from anywhere?

I preordered my HeartGold from EB Games yesterday, so I hope I get my Ho-Oh.

its from anywhere i belive. my Gamestop is giving them out aswell. I get an Awesome Lugia o~o w00t!

I'm just wary because I live in Canada, and we usually get skipped over for things like this. There was no mention of any figurines when I pre-ordered HG.

BTW, the website is now my homepage.

Hmm, not bad.
Sigh, Korea get's it first for once...

Thanks.

Don't see how it's a "stupid thing". Is it more cool or what to have them in different languages? It sounds really stupid. As Sephiroth says, this is like saying "I speak Polski, live in Polska, my neigbours are Deutschland, Lietuva, Россия etc. I love everything which is Joseon more than Nippon". The article is supposed to be an English. Using words in different language just because they mention different countries is plain stupid. Somebody was lazy editing. So, instead of picking on my pickyness, I'd better correct that (if I only had a Bulbanews account and felt the need to create one).

Not at all. It's made of teaser info only. "Full Site Coming Soon", they say.

It's kinda bland. I mean sure it looks nice, but it doesn't have much substance.
