    Because I remember a lot of people on PUK doing that with R/S (known as Pokemon Advance back then, fact fans.) If I recall correctly, lots of people had trouble with the Japanese in the games, and some people even claimed to have encountered wild Jirachis XD

    I might....but more than likely, I'll just hang around gaming news sites, and pokemon news sites, look at pictures and drool. I don't know any Japanese, so playing it would be difficult. Once it's out in Japan there will be enough definite information on the web to either: Satisfy my curiosity, which will lead to an easier wait, or, more than likely, make me WANT IT NOW. Either way, I don't think I'll bother ordering it from Japan. Incompatability with US versions, incomprehensable text, etc.:P

    I can read Japanese, and I'm most likely getting a Japanese DS (since they are avaliable where I live), so I'm going to get either Diamond or Pearl.

    He isn't talking about roms. :D

    Besides, it's not like anybody has got fully working DS roms yet.

    i didnt say he was talking about the roms
    but i dont order games from japan
    so the closest i can get is japaneese roms
    the roms are working
    its that there are no emulators

    But why would you bring up roms anyway... your answer to the topic creator is basically:

    Well whatever, you can't play roms without working emulators obviously, so they are essentially useless until someone does get a working emulator... unless you use GBA flash carts.

    does everyone that speak to you have to pin point everything
    or can you pick up on atleast some things on your own?

    No it's not. Playing games illegally is not the same as importing them.

    That's nice... I really don't care if you do play them illegally or not, what does that have to do with the topic? I also don't really care if you would or wouldn't import for Japan if you had the chance either.

    It's obvious what you meant, I never said I did not understand you, I'm just saying you're bringing up unnecessary babble in this topic.

    No, I never import stuff, because I can't read Japanese. I will just drool at the screenshots and videos for weeks.
    That sounds like me. If I can't understand the game, then there's no point wasting about ?40 on it. I just wait till it's out here.

    :laugh: What an idiot. Go back to school. Oh wait nvm, you're probably still in the 4th grade or something. You're right about one thing though, you did present the stupidest member of PC, when you signed up that is.

    I don't know enough Japanese to not spoil it on myself by playing through the Japanese version, so I'll wait until it's released here before even looking at the games. Nothing could top the first time I played through Gold version. I want to repeat that again.
