4th Gen Clearing up the Confusion on Regions - Regional Differences in Pokémon Games

[Red X]

Are you 100% certain? Coz I'm importing pearl next week.

^I can guarantee you it'll work, since it works for me and I have the same circumstances as you. Don't worry; it will.

 

[serpenter]

so i can put my fire red pokemon (pal) into an nstc pokemon pearl? great, i wasn't sure weather to get the American game or not.

i have a pal wii and DS, the american ver. of D/P would still work on the battle revolution (pal) wouldn't it?

 

[wakachamo]

Question 1: Yes it will.

Question 2: I'm not sure yet, but initially it should be able to work fine.

But Serebii.net say's it doesn't work

:(

You see my problem; I don't want to pay for the game and pal pak not work.

 

[wakachamo]

^That's because Serebii himself hasn't updated the page's summary in order to reflect the new updates. It works fine for me, and it's been confirmed that it will work with no matter what region you have.

 

[Red X]

Thats great news, thanks again.

 

[wakachamo]

OK guys, I've updated the first post with a more tidy and uncluttered layout. I've also completely revamped it with more up-to-date facts and accurate regional differences information. Remember that I'm always editing it whenever I get some news regarding regions, so stay tuned!

Waka, I have a clarification: I just got Pokemon Battle Revolution today (NTSC version, of course), and the instruction booklet specifically says that it will NOT work with Diamond/Pearl games of a different language. So,...this would mean that US PBR does NOT work with EU D&P, wouldn't it?

 

[wakachamo]

Hmm. This means I'm screwed, lol. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work, though. Maybe it's just compatibility with the Japanese version that gets screwed up. All I can do is wait until PBR comes out until I actually find out whether or not it does block out different-regioned D/P games.

Because Pal Park is language locked. You'd need Japanese GBA games to make it work.

can the manaphy egg be transfered from an american pokemon ranger to a japanese pokemon diamond? o_O

You sure it's for NTSC compatibility, instead of just running backups? Running backups by modding the Wii is possible, but I've honestly never heard of anything such as making it able to read NTSC.

Well I have an application that runs off my Playstation 2 memory card that allows me to play the Japanese PAL format game, "Kingdom Hearts-Final Mix" But that is for Playstation, I'm not too sure of what modifications you would need to do in order to get a Wii to do such a thing.


With all due respect,
