-I think the best bet is to leave the official date of September 30, 1998 (which is what Pokémon.com and the exhibit at ), but I keep coming across sources that indicate other release dates and I thought it would be a good idea to gather them somewhere. Note that it may be the case that the release was postponed for two days after the initial announcement. Note that the September 1 release date is definitely wrong as the games were released after the anime in NA, and the anime is known to have debuted on September 7 (it is possible that only the month was specified by the person inputting data to that page, and it defaulted to the 1st).

+:Okay, so I just found [http://web.archive.org/web/19990501171038/http://www.nintendo.com/corp/press/100298.html this], which was published on September 28 on the official Nintendo website saying that the game launched, which has convinced me that the actual release date must be that. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:12, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
