How are you playing the games?
★ Using a ROM?
★ Using a legal copy?
★ Waiting for the games to release in English?

JUST A NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS HOW YOU FOUND THE ROMS OR LINK TO THEM.

Why did you decide to play this way? Is it easier to just download a ROM rather than import? Or maybe you're just so impatient that you just had to import? Alternatively... you could just have a lot of patience and are waiting for the English release!

If you have any poll ideas, feel free to PM Kaori or myself with them. We may not use them the following week after you have suggested them, but we're likely to consider them in the near future.

I have a ROM on a flash cart, which works perfectly on my DSi so it's like I have the actual game

But to make it up to Nintendo, I will buy both B/W when it comes out in English :3
Are you gay?
Are you bisexual?
Are you transgendered?
Are you an ally?

Are you looking for a friend?
Maybe some advice?
Or maybe just a place to feel normal?

English for me. I feel that its important to be patient, and get a truly great game that you can understand, than waste money on a game you can't even understand, or download an illegal ROM.

I used a Black ROM before my import of White got here. However, NICA didn't make more than one choice available. :< -votes for legal copy anyway-

I totally thought people wouldn't need to select more than one option...XD;

Though now there's four options :D

Anyway, I'll be waiting for the English release, much better actually understanding what I'm playing~

I played a legal copy and i'm proud of it. ^_^
I actually beat Geechisu without understanding anything but English-speaking strangers.
I guess i won't buy an English game. I will wait for "Gray" or something like that.

At the moment, I'm playing a White ROM on my flashcart until the English release, when I'll be purchasing a legal copy of both Black (for me) and White (my brother).

To be honest, there should be a fifth and sixth option for using a ROM and waiting for the English release and using a legal Japanese copy and waiting for the English release. For the meantime, I defaulted for the second-best option.

I am still waiting for an English release, then I'll download a properly translated rom. Buying games online is just too expensive, if the price + shipping is greater than U$S 50 (like... 60% more + daily rent until you pick it up).

I'd think of buying it when the prices lower a bit...
I need a new sig right now...

Going to wait for the English version. I have friends that are playing the ROM and are willing to give me the link, but I don't understand Japanese and also my computer lags/overheats when I try to play DS ROMS. x_x XD Also I'm a sucker for character dialogue, so I might miss those if I go for the Japanese version. Can always use an English patch, but again my computer hates ROMs at the moment. So yeah, wait for English version so that I get through the game faster and enjoy it more.

I would never use an Illegal rom I personally don't like the fact that people download illegal things off the internet...
I'm currently working on some novels. If you're interested you can read them here:

I imported White. I didn't want to be tied to my computer whenever I wanted to play it. Plus I don't mind spending the money to buy the game like a good little consumer.

I almost wish I'd just grabbed a rom as soon as one was available just so I wouldn't have to wait for my copy and keep avoiding spoilers. Almost.
