Debug Mode Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 Much required bump seeing as this is coming out this month and Serebii updated with this picture: Copying the translation I put in the comments.. N: Zekrom informed me that Kyurem is suffering/worried
retrotowers Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 So will it be possible to play a Japanese copy of the game on a Pal Nintendo ds lite?
Debug Mode Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 So will it be possible to play a Japanese copy of the game on a Pal Nintendo ds lite? It should work on a DS lite, yep. Strange thing is one of my friends at university insists his Japanese copy of Black works on his UK DSi, so I've always been confused when it comes to region locked DSi enhanced games.

That is good news about DS lite. I didn't know they started region protecting ds games. They didn't used to with regular ds games when the ds was released.
Debug Mode Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) That is good news about DS lite. I didn't know they started region protecting ds games. They didn't used to with regular ds games when the ds was released. Nintendo has always had a thing for anti-consumer practices, I imagine it took them until the DSi to implement it because they never thought to implement an updatable operating system for their handhelds. And it's the main reason why I would absolutely love the 3DS to be hacked but that's unlikely because people actually had no luck with the DSi. Edited June 2, 2012 by Debug Mode Mistakes

If you own a DSi and don't mind about not being able to play online is it possible to just not update the operating system? It is annoying but I don't really blame Nintendo for adding anti competitive practices they have to combat piracy some how.

It is annoying but I don't really blame Nintendo for adding anti competitive practices they have to combat piracy some how. Nope, that's not how it works apparently. Each region has their own firmware and if the DSi enhanced game cartridge's region doesn't match up with the firmware region, it wont recognise it. Also, anti-consumer and anti-competitive practices has nothing to do with piracy. A console being open to play a game from any region isn't any more susceptible to piracy as a region locked console. This may surprise people but as it stands with lead platforms, Nintendo is currently the only console manufacturer that has region locking on their consoles. Playstation 3 and the Vita are completely region free and the Xbox 360 allows any region games but it's up to the publishers whether they want to lock it or not.
Debug Mode Posted June 3, 2012 Author Posted June 3, 2012 Cool I can't wait for Pokemon Black 2 WHAT'S WRONG WITH POKEMON WHITE 2?
canand Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 WHAT'S WRONG WITH POKEMON WHITE 2? Becuse I had Pokemon White and my mum had Pokemon Black
Serebii Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Well Junichi Masuda suggested getting the version of the game that matched the last one so you get Black 2 if you got Black etc
canand Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Well Junichi Masuda suggested getting the version of the game that matched the last one so you get Black 2 if you got Black etc I thought he said if you got White then get Black 2
Serebii Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Nope. If you had Black, get Black 2, and if you have White, get White 2. Here's why? Black - Black 2 - White - White 2 - And possibly more
Ike Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Preordered the soundtrack. Has some unreleased music from B&W apparently. Also has tracks from Emerald and Platinum. Not sure if those are "unreleased" as well. Totally missed the fact B&W1 had a soundtrack as well.

They didn't do that before with the gameboy and the original ds. I don't want to buy a japanese ds.
canand Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks Serebii I will get White 2 but would we go to Black City instead of White Forest?
Mr_Master_X2 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I'd like to see that Pokemon olympics back for this game. It seemed bizarre to get rid of them after only just introducing them in SS/HG. They're the best optional contests that have been in the main series. The singing/dancing/theatre stuff is just so bland and boring. Serebii; any WIFI event Pokemon we need to look out for that will unlock stuff in B2/W2?

Serebii; any WIFI event Pokemon we need to look out for that will unlock stuff in B2/W2? Not as far as I know yet. Keldeo and Meloetta unlock new things in it, but we don't know what (well we know Keldeo unlocks his new form)
Dcubed Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 It should work on a DS lite, yep.

PKMN B&W just happen to be the only DSi card games that aren't region locked. Twas very convinient for me!
Fizz Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I was just looking at some games on ShopTo and it has a release date for Pokemon Black2 and White2. Possible release date?
Debug Mode Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 Keldeo's new form Oh god.. that horn looks a lot like the certain latex product of choice for /v/. I dare not speak of its name. I was just looking at some games on ShopTo and it has a release date for Pokemon Black2 and White2. Possible release date? I would be incredibly surprised if that were true. Here's to hoping though!
