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*

Just flip Black and White each time and you've got my answer. xD

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.
I've always wanted a Japanese version of a Pokemon game for the Japanese characters in Pokemon names when you transfer them. :D I'm not very fluent in Japanese yet, but I know it well enough to get through the game okay.

I hate region-locking.. I hope there isn't too much that will be missed out for not having a Japanese DSi. :/

English Black AND English White, but Black first.

Gardenia101 August 19th, 2010 7:11 PM

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.

SonicThrust August 20th, 2010 7:05 AM

I'll be buying the English versions. I just don't understand enough Japanese to justify importing.

Alamos August 20th, 2010 1:40 PM

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.

Droidz August 20th, 2010 9:38 PM

I'll just be waiting for the English version. I've never gotten a Japanese Pokemon game.

allBlue August 21st, 2010 3:10 PM

So far B/W preorders are dominating japanese chart, I can easily predict 2million launch week in Japan alone.

Enigma August 21st, 2010 7:22 PM

English, so I can understand the game and know what I'm doing. xD

Katja August 26th, 2010 9:30 AM

Eh I'm getting this game in Jap. I usually like the Jap names better. :3

mrunner4home August 27th, 2010 4:13 AM

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?

FlameDancer August 27th, 2010 4:34 AM

I think I'll be getting White in Japanese then Black in English. Wouldn't that be good? :D

Zhinc August 28th, 2010 12:49 PM

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? =/

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 28th, 2010 12:52 PM

I'm getting the English versions, though I kind of wish I was getting the Japanese one's...

Shnappy August 28th, 2010 12:53 PM

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.

Satoshi Ookami August 29th, 2010 1:40 AM

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

Darksun August 29th, 2010 1:43 AM

I'm getting Japanese White and English Black.

Just a few more weeks now..

mondays suck August 29th, 2010 2:12 AM

English. Because a game in moonspeak wouldn't be fun, I'd have no idea where to go and what to do.

Chub 777 August 29th, 2010 2:22 AM

I'm getting the English one. I can't read Japaneese and I would probrably need a walkthrough.

Harumi Fujyoshi August 29th, 2010 3:31 AM

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.

Meli B. August 29th, 2010 5:13 AM

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.

solaris knight August 29th, 2010 5:18 AM

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.

Weavile05 August 29th, 2010 5:37 AM

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.
