  • I had already imported the japanese version of Black. But despite not understanding the language, I decided just to break it and shall wait for it to launch in the UK.

  • I'm going to get it once it is released in the UK... honestly, what IS the point in getting the Japanese version only to spoil yourself? And you can't even understand it either. .__.'

  • Will have a Japanese White and an English Black. The language problem isn't too bad for now since I'm impatient and just wanna play really badly, lol. And besides, there's a help thread here and Hiidoran has been translating some of the stuff...he wouldn't mind helping his bby. <3 :D

    Everyone getting White needs to make sure to pick up a Seed bby! :)

  • I'm suprised that nobody has started a fan translation yet.....

    I'm going to wait for the English release, since it is too difficult for me to learn a second language (mainly because my final grade in Spanish last school year was a D).....

  • I've imported pokémon white (and it should arrive here soonish), and will pick up an English version of Black when that's out.

    Until then... I'm just avoiding anything too spoileriffic.

    I don't understand a word of Japanese (though I intend on learning it), I preordered Black-I love Reshiram. It should arrive anytime now.

    But I kinda regret it and wish I bought White instead. I love all the version exclusives of White,and I don't like any of the Black exclusives other than Reshiram. ='(

    But I'm definitely going to be buying both Black and White in English in spring.

  • If I get it, I'll be getting the english version.

    Don't think I could enjoy a game that relies on the text a lot (Hence why I've only ever imported the two Ouedan games).

    I waited for Pokemon Platinum English version release before I tried to play Platinum. I'm guessing I'm going to wait for the English versions of Black and White. Seems more enjoyable that way

  • I currently own Pokemon White, so I'll probably be getting Black when it is released for purchase over here. Or I'll do what I always do and buy both versions when they're released over here... xD;;

    I got the Japanese one from a pen pal who lives in Japan (we send each other presents) but I am absolutely awful at Japanese (thank the Lord for bilingual people) but I am still enjoying it.

  • Being Japanese is an advantage whenever a new Pokemon game comes out.
    Buying it on Amazon.co.jp thinking it'll arrive on the release day is not.

  • I hate waiting, but I'm still going for the english version. Althogh it can get annoying the fact that most of the new trades in the wi fi trade section of the forums are for BW only. I'm still waiting.

    Waiting primarily for the American release, although I'm roaming the internet for screenshots and plot.
