All questions well be answered in 11 days! :D

Thanks btw! This cleared up alot of things. I (the smart one) is getting one from USA and my friend pre-ordered it for the Uk.

Will be interesting

Lil-Dill April 11th, 2007 11:47 AM

Thanks for clearing this up Wakachamo. Now I can tell my cousins in england about this.

wakachamo April 11th, 2007 2:25 PM

^XD No prob, in fact I myself learnt something with all this.

importing from the US
 
i live in UK and i am considering importing the US version, however i have a couple of queries, i know it will work on my DS but i need to know:

1. Will i be able to trade from my UK version of emerald
2. will i be able to trade to UK versions of the game when they come out

wakachamo April 14th, 2007 8:33 AM

First off, you don't trade from the GBA games, you "import the Pokémon". I can almost 100% guarantee you that that will work with absolutely no problems, since GBA games are also region-free.

As for your second question, we can't really guarantee first off.
The thing is, we don't know if it depends on the region of the game, or the region of the DS. However, some people say that it actually depends on the region of the DS, which means that you might be able to trade effortlessly with UK versions of the game.

Hope I helped.

I live in the UK, and preordered and ordered Diamond and diamond guide book of prima of ebay.

If I get my Wii chiped I can play Battle Rev from america and use my american diamond team on it.

You can't get your Wii "chipped" and make it play NTSC games. That's just not possible as of yet, and I haven't heard of a true solution to that.

But, in regard to connecting Diamond to it, you won't need to get the american PBR to get it to work. I can't tell you surely, but it might just work with the UK PBR.

ss5vegeta April 14th, 2007 8:42 AM

It is possible, I know a guy who knows a guy who can do it, they made a chip for it.

Even if PBR does work ill chip it any way so i can get games earlier. (about 1 year earlier.)

You sure it's for NTSC compatibility, instead of just running backups? Running backups by modding the Wii is possible, but I've honestly never heard of anything such as making it able to read NTSC.

Lil-Dill April 15th, 2007 10:45 AM

Wait I still got a question. My mom is going to U.S. and A. to go for my aunts graduation(shes only 18 and in highskool). And she said shes going to get me pokemon Pearl. And I have my DS here in canada. Will Pokemon Pearl work on my DS?

wakachamo April 15th, 2007 11:13 AM

^Undeniably, yes you will. The USA and Canada are considered to be one sole region, since they both use NTSC. Everything will work smoothly.

Lil-Dill April 15th, 2007 2:14 PM

Oh sweeeet! Thanks for telling me this. I might even get Pokemon Diamond...just to be greedy!

wakachamo April 25th, 2007 8:12 AM

^No prob.

Update:
OK, just to update on some questions about the Pal Park.
Pal Park in the US version Diamond does work with European English GBA games, from what I've heard. I've updated the first post with some details on the regions of Pal Park. Note that I'm still basing this off logic, and might not be 100% true, true fact. Not for long, though, as on the 29th, I'll revise this and update.

(Thanks to Forest Grovyle for the suggestion)

Virtual Headache April 25th, 2007 8:15 AM

You are right, it does.
SPP has confirmed that it isn't region locked, but only langauge locked.
So you can transfer Pokémon from your UK GBA games to the US D/P.

Exactly. GBA games work differently because they're language locked. I've mentioned that in my first post. Thanks.

ss5vegeta April 25th, 2007 8:23 AM

Now we no that Pal Park is only language locked and not region locked, the same thing might happen with Battle Rev.

mko April 25th, 2007 9:05 AM

There is also "GBA Pokémon Insertion". However, if pal park workd this should work too. (I belive)

GBA Pokémon Insertion isn't blocked in any way.
I've got Japanese Diamond and German GBA games and it's working for me.

That's right, since the GBA Pokémon insertion doesn't actually have to look in the code for that to work.

_Prince_ April 25th, 2007 12:53 PM

Well well well, looks like wakachamo you was right after all.
I'm still not getting the USA d/p, I'm still happy to wait.

wakachamo May 8th, 2007 8:00 AM

I've updated the first post with more accurate examples and some stuff based on personal experience, seeing as I've got the game as well now. =P

kingofgames157 May 20th, 2007 8:43 AM

its ur decison?

o_0????
=D

wakachamo May 20th, 2007 8:50 AM

...could you please try to make sense in your post? XD

Toothache May 21st, 2007 12:39 AM

Ok, this makes sense. I think I'll hang fire until a European release date happens for D/P and PBR.

Red X May 23rd, 2007 7:16 AM

So just to clear things up, you can trade if one person is using a EU DS and the other an US DS?
