5th Gen How you're playing the games [ #2 ]

[Ho-Oh]

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.

lol, I've got the first vote ;p

 

[PsychoJigglypuff]

I was originally going to wait for the English version, but I got so impatient that I had to import it!

I much prefer playing an actual copy of a game over a ROM any day.

 

[Surmonter]

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

 

[PlatinumDude]

I'm waiting for the English release because it would be easy for me to play it (for obvious reasons).

 

[pokewalker]

I downloaded the rom from white because I didn't want to buy a game which I couldn't understand, but I'll buy Black when it is released in Europe.

 

[dragon0fangz]

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.

 

[Kevin]

I would download the ROM, but my computer would lag too much. xDD

So I'm waiting and buying the English release. (= Black and White.

 

[Sydian]

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-

 

[-Jared-]

I am patient enough to wait for the English release. ^__^ I don;t see the point in playing a game I can't understand. :D

 

[The Red Chain]

I have a legal copy because I'm not an ~argh~. ;D
I will admit I messed around with the ROM at first because I was too excited to wait for my copy to arrive.
I didn't get far.. just a little past the first city. <3

But yes, I'm playing on an actual White copy now. :3
​

 

[Ho-Oh]

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~

 

[Andrut]

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.

 

[Aquacorde]

I'm waiting for the English release, and I plan on buying White.

 

[©ereal Killer]

ROM for me... I are a pirate!! Aaarrrrrrr!!
xP

Nah, since I'm not a very patient person... I just had to download it...

 

[Corruptodile]

Though I'm incredibly tempted to get a ROM, I'm waiting. I may import a Japanese version though as luckily my DS Lite isn't region locked . :)

 

[TheAppleFreak]

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.

 

[Bluerang1]

Waiting for English. Patience is important, I don't want to keep downloading games, and I don't understand Japanese :P

 

[kohei]

Pre-ordered and got a copy from Amazon.
Arrived a day later as expected from Amazon.

Oh Amazon, how you say you'll arrive on the 18th and yet knock on my door the next day.

 

[Sapeiro]

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...
