    Who hasn't read about the game and looked at spoilers, new pokemon, just to increase satisfaction on your first playthrough?

    I've played Pokémon White, but I stopped after a short while and ever since then, I haven't looked at the list of new Pokémon Names, Gym Types, Alot of the Soundtracks ect. so kind of.

    I've looked at the new Pokemon, I've found out gameplay features, I know some of the storyline, BUT! I haven't looked at many sceenshots of the Unova region. Soooo... in a way I've avoided the important spoilers. I just want the region to look new, the other stuff doesn't matter as much for an exciting first experience. :x

    The only things I've really looked at are the new Pokemon and the updated gameplay features. I don't know much about the storyline still, so that part (which is the most important for a fresh first playthrough for me) will be a surprise.

    I've spoiled myself through & through. I said to myself I wouldn't but I did V_V

    I've played and completed Black 4 times lmao. Stalked Serebii during the release of names and such, so yeah...

    I've already spoiled myself. I've played through Japanese White once, but stopped at the post-game. Not to mention I barely understood anything, so I guess that's good... sorta...

    I've only skimmed through the new Pokemon and listened to the rival music. ^^

    It's been getting tougher and tougher not to look up info but at least I'll enjoy the game more when I get it. :)

    I've played some of Black, viewed all the stuff on Serebii, watched videos on youtube...but is this something I'm gonna regret? Was it really worth it? Was it a good idea to spoil myself as opposed to waiting for the English release?
    Yes.

    I've checked out a couple of things about the games, although I can't remember a huge amount of what I have learnt, so I guess I could be thought of as slightly tainted in the ways of Pokemon Black and White. I'm not planning on checking out a huge amount more until the games come out though.

    Haha.

    No. XD

    I do plan to just kind of hide from the informational sites and stuff once the new 3DS Pokemon game is announced, I'll just ask someone the release date and head down to the store that day and be surprised by what I find.

    Well, that's the plan, but it probably won't work.. :p

    Stuff I planned to avoid I found out by mistake and I'm still denying some things as true until I play the games myself. I don't know the storyline and I don't want to. I've seen the released gameplay footage but know user stuff. I know all the Pokemon through and through, so I could plan my team. I know all Gym Leaders and unfortunately Elite 4 too. I didn't want to find that one out.

    If I wanted to avoid any sort of spoilers, I would have stayed off the Internet entirely.

    Instead, I stayed mostly up-to-date with new information. The only part of the game I'm not too knowledgeable about is anything concerning the storyline. But no one has really talked about it in places that I go to, so that's the reason why. Everything else, though, I know some things about them.

    Also played Black for a while. Didn't complete it, but I know the plot of the beginning.
