Are you pre-ordering/importing HG/SS?
 
The title explains it all.

I'm proud to say I've just pre-orders the Japanese versions of both games.

Now all I have to do is play the waiting game...

I did the same with Platinum, as I'm too impatient to wait for the US release.

Has anyone else done the same or is planning to?

Samme! July 7th, 2009 5:01 AM

I was contemplating whether to do so or not...Do you think I should?

Do it.

Granted, importing is much more expensive than waiting for the international releases, but I'm so crazy for 2nd Gen that I CAN. NOT. WAIT.

Ru-Kun July 7th, 2009 5:08 AM

I haven't yet, but I'm going to! (I hope)

Tyrantrum July 7th, 2009 6:05 AM

I want to so bad, but I don't have money...
Besides, my mom has never let me improt a Japanese Version of a game, and probably won't start now. :[

I guess I'll just wait for the Japanese release and download the ROM.
That's what I did for Platinum and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.

I was thinking about pre-ordering plus it isnt that much compared to most import games........but which version to get?

Sweet Smoochum July 7th, 2009 7:45 AM

I'll preorder the English one. (Hopefully.) But, not the Japanese version. I'll wait. ^_^ (In the meantime, I can save up money for that and a DSi. I'll watch videos of the gameplay on youtube when the game's out in Japan.) But, to those of you who have pre-ordered, you're so lucky. XD

That's my question too, I'm debating on pre-ordering it but I don't know what site I would pre-order it from..

Alex31 July 7th, 2009 7:55 AM

Artonkn July 7th, 2009 7:57 AM

Now THAT's dedication! XDD

I wish I had that kind of money.

Doxasikyrie July 7th, 2009 8:01 AM

Is Play-Asia the only site that is offering pre-orders? I have done a few google searches and have come up with nothing.

Regards,
Doxasikyrie

Artonkn July 7th, 2009 8:04 AM

There's probaly a few others, mainly japanese though. But Play-Asia is a very well know site :)

You can also preorder them off of yesasia.com.

I don't have experience on yesasia, so I was wondering if anyone could let me know if yesasia or play-asia is better.

Ayselipera July 7th, 2009 8:10 AM

Nahh, I want to be able to understand what everything says. I can wait.

I'm attempting to teach myself Japanese so that I can import the Pokemon games.

Does that make me crazy? 0.o

Artonkn July 7th, 2009 8:25 AM

Nope, you're not crazy :D


I would too if i could!

whoa thats 120 bucks right there i think im just gonna use my 60 :)

Rich Boy Rob July 7th, 2009 8:42 AM

I don't think I could ever play a game without being able to understand it. For the moment I'm saving for a DSi, but after that I'm contemplating whether I should beg my parents let me pre-order the American release rather than wait till 3 months after they come out there to be released here in England (Stupid yanks getting it first because it apparently takes 3 months to put U's in the right places :tired:).

Kazukii July 7th, 2009 8:45 AM

It's not even possible to preorder here... far to early with Platinum only being released two months ago 0_o

Serene Grace July 7th, 2009 8:53 AM

I didn't pre-order it simply because I dont understand Japanese. That and I'm a patient person who can wait for another year till It's in English.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ July 7th, 2009 10:04 AM

I'm going to be patient and wait for the pre order of the English copies to come out

Stole the words from my mouth. I'm downloading the Jap. version, and then will end up getting a hard copy of at least HeartGold and possibly SoulSilver in english.

Kyledove July 7th, 2009 10:14 AM

Pre-ordered HG as soon as I could, I always get the newest pokemon games fresh from japan when they come out. Then I get the other version when it comes out in english.

It's crazy, but its way cheaper to import a japanese game than to buy it here...
I kinda picked the most expensive shipping though so xDD
