I'm going to wait since I'll get stuck and I like to play games without guides.
As I've done since HGSS, I'm importing a copy of Black 2. I'm hoping it'll be here tomorrow, cause I'll be mad if it comes while I'm away for a week lol. I'll just ignore that I'm away and be like "OMG I WANNA GO HOME NOW PLEASE." But yeah, the good thing about Pokemon, especially in this day in age, it's not that hard to play along with a game you can't read. I get a lot of people that think I'm weird for playing it in a language I can't read, but that doesn't render it unplayable. If you've played the games as long as I have, you can kind of gather what moves a Pokemon is learning, what moves you're using, "yes" and "no" aren't hard characters to memorize, there's internet, etc etc. So it's not that bad playing in another language, you just miss out on story, which I don't really care much for in Pokemon games (sorry!). It's not a huge loss to me, so yeah. -goes to sit by the mailbox and wait-

I couldn't play, haha :P It takes me forever to comprehend Japanese (I have the Japanese reading skills of a 6-year old with dyslexia) and I'm too interested with Japanese to let something like that keep me from understanding Japanese, so it's gonna take me forever to even get past the intro.
So I'll stick to English tyvm.

But really, it makes sense. But my thing is, I'd love to read the story, and if I can't do that, the game is a little disappointing. I would order it, but only to have as a collective item, not as something that I'd play and really, that'd just be a waste of my time and money (that I don't have). So I'm just waiting until it's US release to play it.
It just annoys me if I can't read it, and plus if I don't know a Pokemon's moveset and it starts learning a new move, it'd be tedious to have to look it up and such. I'd rather just know right off the bat.

No it is not worth it. For once pokemon has started to make engaging storylines with interesting plots, you cant understand nothing if you dont know japanese.(thats like playing a zelda game in all japanese which is impossible without help)
Im currently looking online for a free way to learn japanese but no luck
If only public city schools in my city offer japanese instead of spanish french and chinese

I've learnt from purchasing both HGSS & BW from Japan kinda ruins the game for when I buy it in english so I'd rather last out and enjoy it more in a language I can comprehend rather than go through having no clue.

I won't because it'll ruin my English playthrough, I can't read Japanese and because the games are region locked and I therefore can't play them on my 3DS.

I really don't get why people would get it other than for collecting purposes. It ruins the English playthrough like Vaporeon said and you'll miss half of the story. I don't really fancy having to have a walkthrough with me constantly either. Besides, why would you play the original version when you're gonna have to buy the English version eventually? That's a waste of money too, so no. And it's not like I enjoy these games so much anymore that I can't wait for the English version to come out.

I imported Black and White from Japan. Gameplay was ok and yes I did have to look up walkthroughs but it didnt really ruin my English playthrough. Though it was longer a wait for the English version of Black and White. Seeing as its now 3 months till release of BW2 in the US, I see little reason for me to import the game. Its more expensive especially with the cost of shipping. I like having Japanese games for collectinf purposes, to connect to the DW and get Japanese events(over wi-fi) but thats about it.

I just got it in the mail yesterday.
Honestly, I got a little upset, but after looking up translations I'm very happy with the game. Its still the same thing, and I was so excited for it. The game is reaching my expectations, and I'm really glad I tried getting it early.
My little sister is getting White 2 in English for her birthday. She wants the japanese version, but honestly I'm making her wait because I know she'll be confused and angry she won't be able to read it X'D Silly
