Don't think this thread is really needed - you can probably see for yourself whether people think of it through posts in other topics, such as the 'favourite things' thread and all - also there are opinions a google search away and reviews, I'd imagine (even if it's only been done of the Japanese version so far, obviously, you can still get some ideas out of some of them) - and ultimately you may end up having a different opinion of the game.
The fact they were all sold out by 2 days may be an indicator as well...
Anyways, don't see much more discussion coming from this thread - naysayers can have their complaints in the Complaints thread anyway and we don't need something for people to say 'yes' only in a few more words, espcially considering you are asking this question in a Pokemon forum so there'll be bias. =P Basically if you like Pokemon games, this should be pretty much worth the money. (And if you're considering buying the Japanese version now, consider if you know Japanese/care about understanding things or not and whether you can wait have a year minimum for these games or not, as that'd be up to you in that case).
