Next Month Who here is Going To Buy The Japanese Verison Of this Game? Or Wait?
 
^Read Above^
For me I'm just going to get both versions seeing I absolutely cannot wait until this game is released I'm just gonna get both besides I could use the Japanese Version to my advantage to get basically all the main Pokemon on it and trade it to my English Version.

.Vaporeon July 9th, 2008 3:39 AM

Just nickname the pokemon with english names lol..
I will probably get the Japanese version..

Mukkamoto July 9th, 2008 3:40 AM

go R4,
or emulator,
i will test the game out before purchasing since i dont want to waste my money....so i might get it

gotron228 July 9th, 2008 3:41 AM

so your not going to get the English version? oh well cool.. anyway I might not get the English version but anyway do you think the games gonna be good?

Oh and for Mukkamoto I'll test it before I use it to lol

Houndoom88 July 9th, 2008 4:22 AM

You can test it with an emulator and decide.
I'll maybe buy it if someone translates it.

Hiraku July 9th, 2008 5:44 AM

I already have this game and it is Japanese... well, i am actually getting it next week cuz my uncle works 4 pokemon in Tokyo and I am moving to Kanagawa. I understand japanese, though.

PB. July 9th, 2008 6:15 AM

I would wait for it in English because the Japanese would annoy me, although I know the basic storyline so it wouldnt matter too much I suppose. But it would cost loads to ship it over here.

You're talking about the wrong game. We're talking about Platinum here, not Diamond/Pearl.

FireApe2135 July 9th, 2008 7:34 AM

She is talking about Platinum her uncle works for Pokemon in Tokyo and is getting her a prerelease version for her birthday at least that is what I understand from what she told me...

paperfunk July 9th, 2008 7:49 AM

i don't know if i would get it or not... im not sure if buying the japanese version would be worth it, cuz i can't understand japanese... it would be irritating to me just a little, but i really can't wait until spring of next year... Im still not sure.
Would it be worth it to buy the Japanese version, anyone know?

Mitchman July 9th, 2008 8:00 AM

Well im getting both for video walkthroughs on youtube. But come on. Do you really believe just cause he works for pokemon of tokyo theyll give you a beta cause its your birthday? Im sorry but until i got you playing it in a video and everything im not believing it for nuthing.

  1. She doesn't have to prove anything to anybody she doesn't want to.
  2. I would like to actually understand the plot, instead of seeing Japanese letters and not knowing what they mean, so i can wait.

FireApe2135 July 9th, 2008 8:19 AM

I want the game so bad I just started learning Japanese for it...

t3hjolteon July 9th, 2008 9:01 AM

Playing the Japanese version wouldn't be as fun because I wouldn't be able to understand anything anyone's saying. Furthermore, it would spoil the game when the English version comes up. I'm perfectly fine with waiting.

airconditioning July 9th, 2008 9:28 AM

lol piracy for me.

While I would like to understand the story, it doesn't really matter, because the story in Pokemon sucks anyway. I do want all the neat little bonuses that Platinum offers, though (especially if there really are move tutors in it).

I agree. We will just wait for it. It doesn't matter how much we love it.

austin00081 July 9th, 2008 1:48 PM

I think people who don't speak Japanese, shouldn't get it. Just be patient and get it with everyone else.

gotron228 July 9th, 2008 5:22 PM

I don't speak Japanese but thats the fun of it when u don't understand Japanese you have to find your own paths throughout the game and that's what i like about Pokemon

darkace July 9th, 2008 8:52 PM

i would over use its power of the game and catch the starters just to see what they do

Forci Stikane July 9th, 2008 9:12 PM

No, I think I will wait for the translated version to come out. If Shaymin is inside, then I can just trade for it.

...Though, pardon my ignorance, but...what proof do you have that the game is even coming out next month? ...For that matter, how can everybody else tell for certain that the OP was actually talking about Platinum? He never actually specified which game he was talking about...

icycatelf July 9th, 2008 9:27 PM

I would try to but the Japanese Version. I likes me some Japanese. :P
I thought it was suppose to come out this October. :O

KhaosKnight July 9th, 2008 9:38 PM

I believe in delaying gratification...i would rather wait for the day it comes out in America so i can rush out to the nearest best buy and get it.(just got a topic idea bbe right back)

~*Champion Shirona*~ July 9th, 2008 10:10 PM

I'll wait for the english version. Eventhough, I can understand and speak Japanese quite well.

:16:

hothead July 9th, 2008 10:27 PM

I with champion Shirona i did JAp and i know how to read and speak it but i could not be bothred and it will seem like jap home work so i will just wait for the english version
