If Japan's getting a fall release, then it should be expected in the states sometime in the Winter or early Spring, like Diamond and Pearl. Who knows, if they do it quickly enough, we can possibly be seeing it for christmas.

No release date at the moment, but Japan is getting an autum release.

I don't see why people import fro Japan, you don't get the storyline.

Some people can read japanese. I'm also getting the japanese HG as soon as it comes out, even though I can't understand, it shouldn't be too different from G/S. Well, about the game, this is what I'm expecting:

~ Great graphics (this as been seen in the images/scans/video, the animations look pretty nice, and there is a wind effect and all)
~ More Wi-fi stuff (it would be great if they made the Bug Contest Wi-fi, but I doubt it)
~ Post E4/Kanto stuff (just like FR/LG, who had the Sevii Islands, I hope HG/SS has some new places to explore, with maybe some 3/4 gen pokémon to catch)
~ Improved storyline (this is probably going to happen, the originals were pretty empty)
~ Pc (so we can deposit items)
~ Mother buying stuff (just like in G/S where she used to buy dolls)
~ Improved gym leaders (increased pokémon levels, because they were just too easy)

That's about it, I also want nice songs (G/S had the best BGM to me) and some sort of GTS. About a Battle Frontier, I wouldn't say it is needed. It would be a nice addition but it would eat some memory, so I guess a Battle Tower with some other things is fine (Crystal, if I remember correctly). About the Pokémon following you, I find it cool. A lot of people (and I mean some of them are already saying they won't play the game because of that) don't like it. I guess it's fine IF it's just the starter. But having a pokémon stalk you all the time can get boring, so if they add the option to get him back to the pokéball, that wouldn't be bad at all.
Anyway, take a look at these pictures from the CoroCoro magazine. Some of them are of great quality. I got them from Serebii:


Choosing starter in lab (nice sprite for Chikorita, btw).

New Bark Town and you can see the Menu in the Touch Screen, which is a nice addition.

Near Azalea Town, I think. Take a look here:

Not much today, just a few more images and an update of the first screenshots so that they show the bottom screen.

EDIT: Thanks to Meball, I don't have to find them again! Yay!
