Meh I don't ever import but I do kinda spoil myself with like 2 few gym videos and rival videos.
I can wait and probably pre-order it as well. |
Whos Pre-ordered Pokemon Black or Pokemon White
A Basic question, have any of you yet pre-ordered Pokemon Black Or Pokemon White yet?
I pre-ordered Pokemon White yesterday from Play Asia so hopefully it should arrive near the day of the release (18th September) so.. have you guys? |
not yet.I have to save a bit more money before I do. I am saving my leftover money from school to at least get to half the price and my mom said she would pay the other half.
|
i'll probably wait for the combination of both.. i'll call it pokemon gray
|
I will wait until Spring '011 to get my brand new copy of Pokemon White. I will not watch any gameplay vids on the interwebz either, atleast, I hope I won't.. :D
|
Well, since I still have the HeartGold and SoulSilver to finish (and since Black and White don't really bug me) I will be playing those, and by the time I am finished, Black and White should be out, and The US version is released a few days before my birthday. Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heartgold, SoulSilver, Black, and White seem to have came/are coming out all around my Birthday, I am a gifted pokefan
|
English all the way for me. I want to know what I'm playing!

Getting Japanese B/W?
Any of you guys getting it? I'm thinking about it, but not really sure. If I do it would be the first one. I'm sorta worried about not being able to read the lines lol!
|
YES!!!!!!
I just have to! I can't wait! http://www.gifninja.com/Workspace/ad9375b0-23a8-42ca-90e3-d7420ea956e0/output.gif To cath the Pokemon, anyway |
YEs i am but that also means i ahev to buy a 239 dollar japanese dsi :/ or i could opt for a 80 dollar ds lite hmmm
|
Nah not me. I'd rather wait until the US version comes out.
Besides the gameplay and everything I'd like to know what the people are saying and what's going on =) |
I am, I cannot wait any longer, and I don't care if I can't understand the kanji/katakana/whatever, its freaking Pokemon, battling and serebii.net will get you pretty far throught the game
|
That's what I do with all the Japanese games:
Go to Serebii.net, which helps me actually understand what's up. |
I can wait, so no. I would like getting the English Version before anything, other wise, it spoils it a little.
|
That stupid why would you buy a game you cant even understand.
|
pokemon is a universal language, and serebii is there to help and its going to be the greatest pokemon game ever is why.

Nope, I can wait. I've never imported a game with a foreign language and I never will. My region locked American DSi is a much better experience to play on than my DSlite anyways.

Anyways, you can use Babelfish and Google Translator for your Engrish. Quote:
|
I have honestly thought about it a long time and I decided against it. It would ruin it knowing what happens without fully understanding it.

I'll wait until I get a 3DS. My DS is broken, so I can't [???=pirate]import.[/???]
|
I'll be waiting for the English version, purely because there is a lot of options in the game that would be a lot easier to operate if you knew Japanese..and I don't..so..

Anyway, spawning lies or passing down what n00bs said won't work here. It's not the truth. EDIT: The only way to be on topic is if my DS magically fixed the top screen (not like I need it) I'd get the game and the unofficial translation (HGSS). I beat Platinum JPN-only, but... I want to know what I'm reading. At least in battle. |
Like I do with all upcoming pokémon games, to make the game be understandable and surprising, I'm going to be waiting for the English version to be released next year. I'm not sure for some but I believe this makes the game more interesting, and a lot of the people who import the Japanese version are still yet more excited to get the English one.
I couldn't be troubled to waste money on both when I know I'll be enjoying the English pokémon black more, and the Japanese game will just sit in its case collecting dust. D; It's definitely different for others (Especially if they can speak/read Japanese) no argument there, but for me I'd rather wait and see the exciting stories of others until it's released in the US. |
Anyone getting Japanese B/W?
A lot of people, including me, are waiting for the English version. But is anyone going to buy the Japanese version?
|
I'm definitely buying the English release. I'd rather play a game I can understand. :)
|
I'm buying the English version, I'm probably going to pre-order them though :)
|
I'll suckishly have to wait to play the English version when it releases, like I always do. xD;
I'd love to buy the Japanese version, but it just won't happen. |
Just merged the two threads since they're on the same topic.
Also, English, I ain't paying for shipping. |
Ill be waiting for it to come out in English.. I dont think I would enjoy it in Japanese. I probably wouldnt play it.
|
I am definitely waiting for English. I have no idea why people like these things in Japanese anyway unless they can actually read it. For people like me who can not read Japanese, I wouldn't enjoy the spoilers and stuff. Like, going through a game without reading a single word of it. That would suck, honestly. For me, at least.
|
Like most people in this thread, I shall be waiting for the English version.
I've got no problem reading up on the new pokemon and features etc. online once its released in Japan, but I'm going to try and keep the main storyline a surprise ^^ |
English, my parents won't let me get the Japanese ones D:
|
il get bot roms when/if they come out. im not allowed 2 buy anymore games so when the 3ds gets a flashcard thats when im getting a 3ds & the card so i can have both.
if there is an emulator 4 3ds be4 the US comes out then il be playing both in jap |
I think I'll buy the Japanese White first and get English Black. My Japanese is quite good and I think I would be able to go through.
Also, popular games like these really get to be sold in our local shops. Come on, September 18! >o< |
Well I'm not one of those people with more money than patience nor do I know any Japanese, so as usual it's one game in English when they're out in America for me.
|
I'll wait until the English release, I don't really want to spoil anything haha
I remember playing the Jap Gold version... that was epic, but now I don't wanna spoil B&W haha |
i am learning Japanese as quickly as I can in hope that would be able to understand storyline in japanese view. (English seems somewhat weird when it comes to japan original words) if still can't read well until then, waiting for 2011 Spring...
|
im gonna get black in japanese and white in english. Im so unbelievable happy there is going to be pokemon music shows :) i always wanted to have pokemon music shows and we are actually going to have them:D
|
English for me, I want to enjoy every bit of this game, including dialogues and storyline :)
|
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 |
Im getting the English version.
|
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 ^^
|
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.
|
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.

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. |

I don't get what you can spoil? *Spoilers* You beat the elite four, your rival, a criminal organization and become the pokemon champion.
|
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. *insert trollface* |
Quote:
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. :) |
I'll be pre-ordering a Japanese White version here within the next couple weeks. |
English Black AND English White, but Black first.
|
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.
|
I'll be buying the English versions. I just don't understand enough Japanese to justify importing.
|
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. |
I'll just be waiting for the English version. I've never gotten a Japanese Pokemon game.
|
So far B/W preorders are dominating japanese chart, I can easily predict 2million launch week in Japan alone.
|
English, so I can understand the game and know what I'm doing. xD
|
Eh I'm getting this game in Jap. I usually like the Jap names better. :3
|
I'll wait till the english versions are released. I'm in the middle of hg right now and plan to take a LOT longer, then I want to play explorers of time. so I can wait :)
what I don't understand is how people can afford to get both regions', and/or both versions... they're really too similar for it to be worth much to get both versions, and if you're getting the game from one region why get it from another? well I guess that's what they call a die-hard pokemon fan, eh? |
I think I'll be getting White in Japanese then Black in English. Wouldn't that be good? :D
|
Unfortunately for me, I'm waiting for the English versions. I can't read even one character in Japanese, so I feel like I'd be missing too much. I just wish they'd hurry up with the translation; you'd think they'd have this sort of thing down by now, wouldn't you? =/
|
I'm getting the English versions, though I kind of wish I was getting the Japanese one's...
|
Well, when the Japanese HG/SS came out, I saw there was bunch of events that could only be obtained if you have a Japanese HG/SS. This is the main reason I'm importing. But I'm also getting the English version once it comes out, so yeah. Both.
|
Well probably English one... but I do hope that someones is going to make a playthrough so we can play the Japanese version as well =D
|
I'm getting Japanese White and English Black.
Just a few more weeks now.. |
English. Because a game in moonspeak wouldn't be fun, I'd have no idea where to go and what to do.
|
I'm getting the English one. I can't read Japaneese and I would probrably need a walkthrough.
|
No doubt English. I'll have to try hard not to spoil myself but it's better than playing something without knowing what the hell I'm doing etc. I mean, my Japanese is limited to being able to speak it. And I'm pretty damn bad at that already.
|
I hope to be able to buy the Japanese Pokemon Black and get the US Pokemon White. So far it seems I may not be able to get the Japanese Pokemon Black. I'm very patient, though. I can wait for the US release and get them both in English.
|
I'll be waiting for the english version. I actually like to be able to understand whats happening in the game I'm playing without the need of a guide, funnily enough.
|
Japanese ROM if someone can get an English Patch on it. And the ROMs will probably have that anti-piracy software again, so... yeah.
Then I'll buy the English game. |
I only know Hiragana, so I unfortunatly will be once again waiting for the English version.
|
65 dollars for a Pokemon game I can't read or 30-40 dollars for a Pokemon game I can read... Hmm...
|
I am disappointed that this poll lacks European languages.
I'm getting both, though. So yeah. |
I'm just going to wait for it to be released in English in Europe. I'd rather not pay for something I can't read. xD I can wait a bit longer for it as well.
|
I will be waiting for the games to be coming out in English.
As for which version I buy, still unsure, am currently swaying more to buying Pokemon Black atm, but could all change. (: |
Japanese, for one important reason!
I'm learning Japanese and I got SS in japanese too. i've played enough pokemon games to basically know what to do, and everytime I don't know a word, I look it up (jisho.org), and put it in my POKEMON NOTEBOOK. :3 Only problem, They use a lot of slang!! It's very annoying, but since it's all in hiragana and katakana, it's a piece of cake. Also, Japanese looks a lot prettier than english and I like the pkm names better. It's like a learning tool and pkmn in one! Quote:

I wouldn't get a game like this if you don't read ANY Japanese, or if you have a bare-minimum understanding.
That being said, I'm importing White. I imported both HG and SS and haven't had any problems, other than occasionally messing up a word because they don't use Kanji. When I heard you could switch to Kanji in B/W, I flipped out and ordered White. Woo! |
I understand hiragana and i think i could learn the rest of katakana(only 10chars left :P) till it comes out. But i think my japanese is still not good enough that i could understand everything whats going on, so ill go with english this time, i just hope i learn nihongo till next gen comes out >.<
|
For Us Left Behind...
I'll be waiting for the english version. but by the time the next gen comes, i should know enough japanese to play the games. then ill import it and buy the english one.
|
Merged with the Japanese or English thread, since it pretty much covers your questions.
|
i was far to excited for the games. i ended up importing both and i will prob buy both in english when they come out XD
as well as the third game in both languages....because if i only got it in english then i would feel my japanese gen v game collection will be incomplete ^_^ |
I'd rather wait until the English version of B/W comes out. I can't understand Japanese, so the English version is worth the wait in the end.

Agreed with above. Almost everyone I know is playing it and it's really hard waiting for the English version, but from what I hear, it'll be waaay good when I finally get to play it. 4 days down... 6 months to go. XD
|
Well, do pokemon black and white work on the DS lite?
if they do, im getting english, but if they dont, ill still get english just rom version |
I know very little Japanese, but I still ordered a JP Pokemon Black more as a test to myself in playing a game in a language I can't really read (plus, I can raise a battling team early on, and trade them over when I get my English versions).
As far as story and such goes, I'll wait for the English version to care. |
Well, playing a very good patched ROM on Black, so I'll definitely be getting the English versions, so I can understand what everyone's talking about!
|
I pre-ordered/am getting JP Pokemon Black and will pre-order/will get EN Pokemon White next year (probably in March). I've always gotten both versions in English, but this time around I couldn't resist the temptation, plus back when RS/FRLG/HGSS were released in Japanese I didn't have a credit card, so this is the first time I have both been able to get the JP game. ;P
|
I am actually tempted to buy it in Japanese to help me learn to read Japanese lol. That being stated I am likely getting the American Black version. Reshiram ftw
|
I actually got the Japanese Pokémon Black 3 days ago. I will pre-order it and Pokémon White in English when it's translated.
|
I'm just waiting for Pokemon B/W to be released in English. Hopefully, I'll actually have a new DS by then... If not, then I guess I'll be waiting longer than that. xD
|
I may cave and order a Japanese version of B&W, because 6 months is a long time to wait. D: I don't think translation/Language barrier will be too bad to cope with, Ill just lurk in the B&W translations+Help sticky. :D
But I will definitely buy both English versions when they are available. I'm most likely going to reserve them at Gamestop. |

English.
i hope the loooong wait's worth it... :D also, im sooo totally want to get black....but it version exclusive sucked. :C i think i'll choose white....or maybe both. edit : according to some information, Wargle and kamen rider is in black. YAAAAAY |
