UK gamers can meet the Pokémon creators next week, but they still have to wait until launch day to get the game. North American trainers eager to pick up Pokémon Black & White can grab it from 5th March — a day before its release across the territory — by heading over to the game's official launch at New York's Rockefeller Center.
As well as grabbing the game early, attendees will also be able to pick up their passport to the Unova region, the new area you'll explore in the upcoming DS games. As event attendees explore Rockefeller Center they'll come across different stations including gameplay kiosks, Pokémon artwork, a photo booth and an area to download the Liberty Pass to catch Victini. Each station will have a unique stamp for the passport, with the attendees who fill their passport receiving a free limited edition t-shirt.
If you're planning to attend the event, be sure to share your photos with us.

I live really close to the New York City area, but I can't make it to the event... D:
I know I shouldn't be here but. Best, Caption, Ever!
@2: Agreed.
It's just too bad I live on the wrong side of the country to go to this event... =(
Do you guys guys think a 9+ hour drive would be worth it?
I'm gonna take a bullet and try to get permission.
If I do, then it'll be AWESOME!
Nintendo World is just a train ride away.
Not a huge Pokemon fan but I might pop by to check out the madness!
Im trying to, hugenpokemon fan
Also it from 3-6pm
Yay. Went to the HG & SS event last year so I'll go to this one too.
@6: If I lived that close to Nintendo World I would never use the phrase "I'm gonna take a bullet..."
Damn, just got back from nyc.
Pretty flash, but cant compete with Kirby's knitted bench outside the Elephant and Castle tube station.
The only reason i'm getting Black & White early is for Victini other wised i'll just save my money for only 3DS (for both hardware and software).
the 30 rock theme song started playing in my head as soon as I saw this.
@Ristar: I don't know where in the UK you are, but you have dozens of launch trial events in england
Liz Lemon will attend;)
I'll make sure to come after my Tumblr meetup.
I was planning a trip to NYC soon, maybe next weekend I'll drive out?
pokemon take over F T W
This sounds awesome. Kind of like the Pokemon they have at rail stations in Tokyo - you get a different Pokemon stamp at each, then hand them in at the Pokemon store for hats and the like.
