well, for me i am just going to simply wait for the games to release in the states, and the extra waiting will give me some time to train my platinum to lv 100 and some time to play the tcg (i just got dusknoir lv x) plus the extra wait will make me want to play soulsilver even more

I'm going to import from a respectable site like YesAsia when it's released in the US. Never again with eBay.

I'm not gonna buy it in Japanese because I don't know enough to play it (I think I'd even be stuck if I used reference with it, and that would make the game less enjoyable). I am however, sure as hell not waiting for it to be released in Europe.

I like to be able to actually understand the language in the game I'm playing. So no.

Learning it currently. I wanted to start learning some time ago, but the announcement of HG made me finally start.

I am ordering it from Amazon.co.jp and then sending it over with tenso.com, as it is cheaper than play-asia.com and being in Europe I don't trust play-asia.com that much (play-asia packages are a lot more prone to be held at the EU customs, than tenso).

I'm not a huge G/S/C fan, and I don't know japanese, so I don't know. Still, I'd like to be able to have the experience of playing it and discovering all of the new changes, the remixes, the new Pokemon, everything! So I think i'll settle for a ROM, and if that's not an option I may just import.

Noone seems to have asked this so I'm going to, what did that mean?

Lol I know so little vocab, but give me a break I've been learning for a month or so and don't have a proper dictionary yet. I could probably say it, but I would have no idea what it meant. :P

I got this far:

Why / how
You (plural)
No idea…
Something about how / story?
Then something about how / and something else.

I really need a dictionary lol. I dont know all the grammar rules either so there could be some future tense thing messing me up, in fact Im going to presume its that.

EDIT:- I got an answer nvm.

I'm going to wait for a US release. I've gotta be patient, just as I'm also hoping Tales of Vesperia PS3 comes over here too... Oh, the fun this next year will be...
