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?

rocky505 August 2nd, 2010 3:25 AM

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.

ares10 August 3rd, 2010 5:52 AM

i'll probably wait for the combination of both.. i'll call it pokemon gray

JAK3 August 3rd, 2010 6:29 AM

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

~Electrivire~ August 3rd, 2010 6:37 AM

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

Åzurε August 3rd, 2010 8:31 AM

English all the way for me. I want to know what I'm playing!

As much as I agree with you, to be fair, they don't really have to be based on animals to begin with. Emulation never even occurred to me, I'll probably play a little of that, as a demo. I decided against playing a game I wouldn't understand. :/

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!

Gardenia101 August 4th, 2010 7:22 PM

YES!!!!!!
I just have to!
I can't wait!

To cath the Pokemon, anyway

Sora's Nobody August 4th, 2010 7:26 PM

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

Unknown Trainer August 4th, 2010 7:28 PM

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 =)

Planetes. August 4th, 2010 7:32 PM

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

Gardenia101 August 4th, 2010 7:36 PM

That's what I do with all the Japanese games:
Go to Serebii.net, which helps me actually understand what's up.

Binary August 4th, 2010 8:03 PM

I can wait, so no. I would like getting the English Version before anything, other wise, it spoils it a little.

Charizardomination August 4th, 2010 8:22 PM

That stupid why would you buy a game you cant even understand.

Planetes. August 4th, 2010 8:26 PM

pokemon is a universal language, and serebii is there to help and its going to be the greatest pokemon game ever is why.

Ill wait. I prefer not playing through a game with only half the appeal and spoiling everything for myself. Everyone said diamond and pearl were going to be the best pokemon games ever but look what happend.

Luck August 4th, 2010 10:22 PM

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.

It's the same game. Tell me a main series pokemon game where you didn't beat gym leaders, destroy the Elite 4 and topple an evil organization in your spare time.

Anyways, you can use Babelfish and Google Translator for your Engrish.

Who in the world said that? I already told you before that spewing lies doesn't make it a truth.

MrGnawty August 4th, 2010 10:25 PM

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.

Did you even go on serebii forums (Or any pokemon forum for that matter) ONCE towards the end of hoenn? Clearly not, because if you did you would know what Im talking about and wouldn't have to attempt to prove me wrong whenever I make a darn post. DP had so much hype but ended up not being well received by a lot of people.

Heart's Soul August 5th, 2010 8:36 AM

I'll wait until I get a 3DS. My DS is broken, so I can't [???=pirate]import.[/???]

Surmonter August 5th, 2010 8:37 AM

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..

They have forums? And I thought this was the only one! (Well, it's still the only good one)

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.

Zelda August 5th, 2010 2:19 PM

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.
