    I'll probably be preordering my Black version sometime in october even though the games don't come out in the US until the spring... I just want to have that feeling that I have a copy waiting for me ha... Esepcially after all the new info that was released, since i've been playing pokemon since my blue version when I was eight (i'm now 20) these games may be the best yet.

    I would like to pre-order them so I could play it now rather than having to wait till next year, but I feel my understanding of Japanese isn't good enough to be able to understand the story completely (I do know some Japanese though) and this new game seems like it'll be a lot more story heavy than the past games in the series, so unless I get better in my Japanese skills before it's released I'll wait for the US launch and get it shipped to the UK from there.

    That and I am still enjoying playing Heart Gold and I would like a bit more time with it before I move to the next set of games.

    I'll just wait for the English release... I mean, it'd be a waste of money to buy a game that I don't even understand. XD

    I preordered mine in both Japanese and English from YesAsia and GameStop, respectively. Unfortunately, I went for the free shipping option, so I won't get Black until the end of the month.

    I would pre-order it, but I'm not in Japan. I thinkI'll just wait a few days and buy it off the internet.

    I'm seriously considering ordering it. I don't think I can wait until Spring.

    I'm curious though, it seems like a lot of people are preordering it. Of the people who have already preordered it, do you know any Japanese? I don't know a word of Japanese, but I still want to buy the game. I think I've played Pokemon enough to be able to guess at the words.

    Your Order Has Been Shipped!

    So today, I logged onto PlayAsia only to find my order of Pokemon White had been shipped! (Estimated Arrival 21st) which made me very happy :)
    So, who else who pre-ordered Pokemon Black/White from PlayAsia, has been shipped today?

    Gonna order it today after I get back from classes, so I guess that won't be pre-ordering it anymore, but ordering it on release day.

    EDIT: Well I'll be darned, I actually bought it in time for it count as a pre-order!

    I ordered White from YesAsia because it was the cheapest legitimate site I could find. I'll get Black in English when it comes out.

    Bought White in PlayAsia today. (Around 70 dollars with shipping) I'm rather advanced at pokemon games so no knowledge of japanese shouldn't be a problem for me.

    I'm not pre-ordering... not because I don't want to, but because I can't ;___; I want to soooooo badly, but I don't have a credit card and my mom won't let me use hers because it's "unsafe." It's so unfair. I even have the money for it, I just have to pay her back... yet she still thinks she's gonna get tricked or something stupid like that. Whatever... :@

    I'll pre-order the English versions of Black & White, simply because once I trade in my Ds Lite for a DSi (thank you GAME), I won't be able to play Japanese games. Speaking of which, I might sell my US Pearl game, unless my bro wants it...

    Oh, I forgot to mention that I'll be pre-ordering the English versions of Black and White, not Japanese. In this case, I don't need to a credit card :D

    I'll probably cave and order the Japanese version of White. But i will definitely pre-order both of the English games once I can at Gamestop. :D
