I'll be getting White when it's released in the UK but I'll play through either of them in Japanese through my R4 despite the fact I can't read Japanese. I did that with SoulSilver and the funny thing is my completition time was 3x as long in English.

Both. I'll pre-order the Japanese game(s), and buy and/or pre-order Black and White when they come out in America. Though I can hardly understand the Japanese language, I guess it's a way to practice it, and then there's the multiple event Pokémon, legendaries, and I just love having Japanese Pokémon! :D Not to mention I don't feel "left out" that people have played the game like a year before me XD;

I rather wait for the English release where I can understand what I'm playing through and not ruin the fun of the game beforehand. My Japanese skills aren't so great, if you can even call it that, so I'm not going to waste my money importing and then buying the English copy altogether. I'll just wait for it to be released Spring of 2011 here in the US.

English, as I only know two languages: English and Engrish,

BUT if it screws the game corner up, I'm gonna have to play a fan translation of the game (cause I'm NOT going through that Voltorb thing AGAIN) and then somehow get a hold of a DS flash cart (do they even make flash carts for the DS?).........

Actually, I highly doubt that Voltorb will even BE in the Isshu Pokedex, And it may be possible that there won't be any slots or Voltorb Flip off Jack Thompson in B/W (after Nintendo of Japan probably saw what America did with HG/SS), maybe (as I probabably said before) it will be an arcade with Pokemon-ified Arcade Classics like Space Invaders or Tetris

That's the thing with Americans, they live in fear (ZOMG, gambling will turn our children EVIL, we must change that!!!!!! ZOMG, the name "Tin Tower" will cause terrorists to invade!!!!!!!), while as one president said (I think it was Franklin Roosevelt) "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself (and spiders)!" Fear is an illusion created by the devil to trick us, as a result, HG/SS was heavily censored, all because paranoia has striken our adult guardians, personally, I think the censoring of the game corner and renaming of the Tin Tower is just plain ludicrous, but of course, it all started with the twice as paranoid Europeans haveng a fit over the slots in Platinum (a lot of my friends living in the UK had to import Platinum from the US, the last the states will ever see and play the slots in a video game that is not M rated, as we all know of the lovable bastard named Jack Thompson)

I don't understand Japanese at ALL. I wish I could import the game. Sigh, I'm just gonna have to wait. But I don't want the game and all the new Pokemon to be spoiled from me by waiting. =( I remember as each new generation game out, I always loved the thrill of playing it and seeing a new Pokemon for the first time when it appears in the wild.

I'm just gonna wait for the English release, probably cheaper & my Japanese isn't good enough to make it through the entire game.

I'll most likely be importing Black from Japan and buying White when it comes out in Canada. Though I haven't checked the cost for such a feat, so if it's too outrageous than I'll wait until next year.

....Naw, I can't wait. And I wouldn't have to worry about spoilers for once, as I'd just have to worry about not spoiling others. xD

I am going to wait a week after the release of the Japanese rom for the translation patches. I am going to play Black because I plan to buy English White.

Waiting for US release. I mean, I can't understand Japanese writing. BUT, I'll play the JP version on an emulator, to feel how the game is.

English all the way, for me. My cousin got Japanese Platinum when it was released and he got all frustrated that he didn't know what on earth was happening.
