    I would if I understood Japanese. I'm getting there, but not so far as to understand a whole game I wouldn't think. Pretty visuals aren't enough to get me through a game; I just hope you bastards make sure you warn us about spoilers when it's released xP.

    Yeah, I suppose. (What's the point to that, anyway? It's like ruining the game because you see what happens you just can't be entirely sure. Ack.) But there's still screenshots and "Oh, and I finally got to that new area at the end of the game, I wasn't expecting you'd be able to *do something awesome that's more fun to discover yourself*." But that's just me babbling, of course.

    I'm gonna download the Japanese version as a ROM, then import the US version of Soul Silver.

    I don't think I could wait for it to be released in the UK.

    Pre-ordered HG as soon as I could, I always get the newest pokemon games fresh from japan when they come out. Then I get the other version when it comes out in english.

    It's crazy, but its way cheaper to import a japanese game than to buy it here...
    I kinda picked the most expensive shipping though so xDD

    Really? That's weird, where are you from?

    Ah, I see, I know that a lot of people in the UK import US Pokemon games, but I wasn't aware that the Japanese imports ended up being cheaper.

    I suppose that's good justification for not waiting for them to come out in your own country!

    I didn't pre-order it simply because I dont understand Japanese. That and I'm a patient person who can wait for another year till It's in English.

    :cer_laugh:....
    same here :cer_smile:
    i'll just wait for the
    english version
    ----------
    for those who pre-ordered already
    you guys are lucky

    Nah, I can't read Japanese. And it'd bother the living daylights out of me if I couldn't understand what each and every character was saying. "ZOMG WHAT IF THEY SAID SOMETHING IMPORTANTTTT?"

    Besides, with all the games coming out and my desire for a PS3, I'm getting frugal on my extra spending habits.

    Not quite sure what you're asking, but a good place to learn Japanese is thejapanesepage.com, and as others have mentioned, play-asia.com and yesasia.com are reliable places to pre-order the Japanese versions.

    No, I'm going to wait for the English release and pre-order it when I see it on the shelves of my local game retailer.

    I guess that doesn't make it a pre-order then XD

    (Unless you meant you saw the pre-order signs at your game retailer)
