March 14 for sure then? well, could be worse...
I already forgot when Pre-ordering starts. It should be around the same time like the previous 2 times. Maybe I will look for the Platinum Discussion Thread here on these Forums.

Not online, like at GameCrazy for someplace like that. I checked the Thread and it was December 20+ and still no pre-ordering and I hate calling to check if they are pre-ordering. HGSS will be my last games!

Amazon.com. There's no point in pre-ordering when you there are plenty in stores.

Maybe GameSpot will offer some crazy pre-order special bundle, they are doing those more and more often now. [Night Vision Googles for Modern Warfare 2, a (crappy) Bataraang and leather diary for Arkham Asylum, etc.]

According to pokemon.com the Spikey-eard Pichu event will begins soon. First you get a Pikachu-colored Pichu in D/P/Pt and then you trade it to HG/SS and take it to Ilex Forest. Sadly they didn't reveal Kotone and gold/Hibiki's names.

Just like with Red and Blue in FireRed and LeafGreen, they aren't going to change Gold's and Silver's name (if anything else Gold's name would be Jimmy). The big question mark goes to Kotone and what her name will be. "Kotone" means "sound of the harp", so my guess her Enlgish name will either be Melody, Harmony, or another name which relates to music.

Happy to see the games confirmed for March 14, and I am already taking action by reserving both at my local gamestop and am diverting a christmas present for a gift card for Gamestop to help with the purchase. I will also state that right now I am working on helping the walkthroughs on Bulbapedia where my style is first-hand data gathering through the games themselves and I am planning to work on HG/SS's walkthroughs on that site when they come out.
Changing the topic alittle to point something out is that while it took 5 days after the games' release in Japan for Dawn's Cyndaquil to appear in the Pokemon anime, I wonder how different it will be for the english release dates of both the games and the english episode.

Oh, now I see what you mean. Being this is the first time Gold will be playing an NPC role if Kotone is chosen, I think it was decided to give Gold a more realistic name to match how recent Generation game characters are getting more realistic names. Did Silver get a new default name or did it remain Silver?

However the community and Pokemon Special Manga will still probably call him Gold.

That episode should air in early February provided their are no breaks.

Except maybe for Bruno and Lance who look better in the FRLG Artwork, it seems that good ol' Ken has refined his art again.
