For worldwide releases, players all over the world are be able to play the game simultaneously. However, this isn't the case for Pokemon BDSP.

Pokemon BDSP was released with a midnight local release, just like previous Pokemon games. This means the game is available to play when the clock strikes midnight in your area.

Unlike a worldwide release, in which people around the world will all gain access at the same time, a local time release means that players in eastern time zones will be able to play the game earlier.

Players with accounts from regions near the top of this list are able to play the game earlier than those near the bottom.
