I might download the ROM of it as currently I don't have an operating DS Lite :(. However, I definitely plan to buy it, assuming I buy a DS Lite at some point. While "piracy" isn't bad per se, I definitely enjoy the Pokemon games enough to buy them, assuming I have a DS and money, of course.
I reserved HeartGold today and after that while still being in the same shopping center I decided to reserve SoulSilver too just for the heck of it. 0.0; Only because I want a legit Teddiursa, though.
I've already preordered a version of HeartGold and SoulSilver. I did download the SS with English patch, but never played it. It didn't feel right to do it.
