I don't believe in playing ROMs that I don't have a physical copy of, so I have to say that I imported it. In fact, I was getting a little scared because it was around the ninth of September and I still hadn't preordered. The site I bought my Platinum from originally stated that all of their first shipment had all ready been preordered, and that bummed me out, however; some orders fell through and I was right there to put in a credit card number. xD

I enjoy playing my games on a cartridge a lot more than ROMs just for the sake of saying I own it anyway. The colors on an emulator are often dimmer than on the real system and there are still quite a few little bugs in it. I'll take my cartridge over a ROM any day, thank you.

Me too, but the Japanese language is so cool. To bad I can't read it.

I've tried playing the rom, but I always get the white screen after the title screen. I'm still waiting on my import copy, so I guess I could say both an a few weeks time.

I'm playing a ROM as it is, and it works fine. And with my R4, I'm enjoying it on the go!

Well, considering that ROMs are illegal, I'm going to have to say import, although I'll be doing neither with Platinum.

Wow an import of course. And how did you not know roms are illegal? I mean its a free way of getting a game that should be payed for cause the hard workers of gamefreak that made this piece of art have to get a paycheck somehow no? Anyweh im an importer but hell ill get the english one as well(cause all my jap games cant connect to internet and i usually just play it to know how fast i can go through a game in english after words. A self challenge really.
