    Couldn't find a thread about this so made a new one, excuse me if there is one, or if this isn't in the roght section.

    Anyway, will you be importing the Japanese version of Black/White or waiting until it's been translated and released in English (or what other language you use). Or will you not be buying the Gen V game?

    I'll probably be waiting until it's released in the UK. Build up my excitement, somewhat :)
     
    I'll be waiting for American release. I don;t mind spoiling myself as to the pokemon designs and all that, but I want to stay away from story details beyond the beginning of the game as long as possible. XD
     
    Same as Cloud197.

    I want to get the Japanese Pokémon White version and then get the American Pokémon Black version once they are released in the U.S. Though, I highly doubt I'll be able to get the Japanese version, but I hope I do.
     
    I'll just wait for it to be available in the US. I don't see the point in paying more money to get a game in a language that I don't fully understand.
     
    I'll be waiting for the English release. I just don't know how I'm going to be able to wait 9-10 months. Japan is getting it in 3-4 months. BAAAAAAAAAWWW
     
    ur us dsi wunt play dem

    DSi region locking is an absolute crapper.

    Yeah, so is spelling and grammar.....

    Anyway, the DSi Region Locking is an optional thing, and from what I know, only applies to the DSi Store and DSi-exclusive games. And I assure you that Pokemon Black/White will NOT be DSi-exclusive.
     
    It's called deliberate internet speak.

    Moving on, Black & White will be DSi-compatible. The DSi region locking will apply to DSi-compatible games, DSi-exclusive games and DSi Ware. This means that DSi-compatible titles will not work on a DSi that doesn't match the region of the game.

    On the topic, I have a Japanese DSi. I also read Japanese. Guess what I'll be playing.
    1. (almost)EVERY GAME IS DSI COMPATIBLE(seeing that you can play any Ds game on a DSi and you can play B&W on a normal DS so its not DSi exlusive)
    2. I have an english DSi and play many japanesse games
    3. They get more sells if people can import

    now back on topic
    I am going to buy both in japanesse and both in english
    I'm just a fanatic lol
     
    i might download a translated version of the game, then buy it when it comes out here. im very very impatient :D
     
    I'm going to import the games!
    I've been importing, since Platinum. I import because I'll end up reading about the games on a website and spoil it for myself if I don't import.
    So I'd rather play through it myself instead of reading about the games on a fansite months before the English release.
     
    were the heck do you import them from??? i wanna import black any ideas on how to do that i need a new importing site the link would be awesome and ill buy white over here in its real realease (i know is not out yet)
     
    No doubt from me, i'm definitely going with the English version. I can wait a few extra months of people talking about it etc.
     
    ur lucky my r4i gold (original) has the worst game compatibility in all of history
     
    Dudes I have been thinking,
    Japanse or english doesn't matter it is only the names.

    I am gonna play it for sure!

    Have you seen legendaries!

    They are awesome!
