5th Gen Japanese or English Black/White?

[allBlue]

English for me, I want to enjoy every bit of this game, including dialogues and storyline :)

 

[.Wolfie-kun.]

I'm going to suffer and wait it out for the English version - good things come to those who wait right?

Also, gives me more time to decide on what starter I'll be picking x3

 

[King Gumball]

Im getting the English version.

 

[azuta]

English I wanna absorb in as much of the game as possible without having to stop and translate every verse of it. Much more enjoyable when its fluid and you have nothing to slow you down ^^

 

[Andrew1989]

Because I don't understand Japanese, not to mention I'm against importing (though I've got some imported games), chances are I'll probably buy Black / White when it's localized over in the UK.

 

[littledoug1]

I'm getting pokemon BLack andWhite in English only because it would be to hard and expensive to get the japanese versions. I can wait.

Luckily I have a cousin in the Air Force stationed in Japan right now, so more than likely he will be able to pick up both copies in Japan and just ship em to me. I love having a family member stationed in Japan.

Just remember that the DSi and DSiXL are region locked.

Yeah, that's my problem with the DSis -- region-locking sucks. It's basically a step backwards. <_< It's especially dumb because the DS and DS Lite aren't, but... I digress.

I've already pre-ordered my Japanese copy of White. =) I can read Japanese well enough to play with relative ease, so I'm pretty psyched. I'll probably buy Black in English so I can own both versions and so I can play through in my native language, which is more fun.

DSi never really got my attention, I already have an Original and DS lite so I see no need for me to get another DS especially if Region Locking comes into play. So thankfully I won't have to worry about that when I get B & W. I might get the English releases as well since there are some Wifi events that I really wanted but missed out on because they were only limited to Japanese copies of Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HG, & SS.

 

[Malachia]

I don't get what you can spoil? *Spoilers* You beat the elite four, your rival, a criminal organization and become the pokemon champion.

 

[missingnoresearcher]

Oh isn't that simple?
1. Somehow (*cough*) obtain a download version of PKMN Black.
2. Play it, and wait for a fanmade english patch.
(Yaymii's patch for Japanese HG/SS was pretty good)
3. .....
4. PROFIT!
5. Then buy legal English Black Version to avoid probelms with copyright.

Just flip Black and White each time and you've got my answer. xD

I know I already posted in this thread but that was back in June and I hadn't decided yet. But I placed my preorder for the Japanese Black version a few days ago because I realized I had the extra money aaaand that kanji feature definitely sealed the deal. :)

 

[The Red Chain]

I'll be pre-ordering a Japanese White version here within the next couple weeks.
I've always wanted a Japanese version of a Pokemon game for the Japanese characters in Pokemon names when you transfer them. :D I'm not very fluent in Japanese yet, but I know it well enough to get through the game okay.

I hate region-locking.. I hope there isn't too much that will be missed out for not having a Japanese DSi. :/

[bwburke94]

English Black AND English White, but Black first.

 

[Gardenia101]

I'm buying both in the US and also buying both becaus emy dad's stopping in Japan for a business trip a few days after it comes out.

 

[SonicThrust]

I'll be buying the English versions. I just don't understand enough Japanese to justify importing.

 

[Alamos]

English.

Japanese: Cant understand,pointless, Storyline is not understandable, Ruins the game, Even with a translation it wouldn't be accurate and would just be stupid in my opinion.

 

[Droidz]

I'll just be waiting for the English version. I've never gotten a Japanese Pokemon game.

 

[allBlue]

So far B/W preorders are dominating japanese chart, I can easily predict 2million launch week in Japan alone.
