Pokémon Black & White are on sale at most major game retailers on the East Coast by now, and while those crazy Pacific Coast guys like me still have a couple hours of waiting for my copy, I guess that means the game’s fully and officially launched in the U.S. I’ll be doing a journal of sorts on my progress, with daily updates tracking the growth of my team and all the neat little things I discover while exploring Unova. Don’t expect crazy-fast progress since I’m heading into my last week of the term and will need to start hitting the books today as well.

In other news, the “Passport to the Unova Region” event looks to have been a huge success. Press pics below.
