Seed vs climate


I posted the following at bigpumpkins.com but figured I would let you wise
farmers have a go at it as well:)

As I'm really new to this I'm just curious about how important it is to
have a seed that is used to the climate I'm going to grow in.

Example: My goal in the first year is to grow a pumpkin that weighs +200
lbs.
Is it better for me in Sweden to use a seed that is know to produce
several +400 pound pumpkins in Sweden compared to use a seed that has
produced several +800 pound pumpkins in Texas?

And how much weight should I put in seeds from the climate compared to all
the other aspects of pumpkin growings?
