Jap Pokemon on US DS?

IS it possible to play a japanese pokemon diamond or pearl in an american nintendo ds lite?

 

yes, there is no region protection on DS games. But you'll have to know japanese to understand wtf is going on

 

dont worry ill just look at the pictures

 

what are you talking about, pictures

 

The pictures? Isn't Pokemon a bit too story driven for that?

 

well you could play it, but since you dont know japaneese, I wouldn't. Just wait for the US release.

 

like imma wait a year
by wat i mea pics is dat ill see the images of electris and numbers, someting dat never changes

 

i still dont know what you mean by pictures. can you explain more clearly.

 

he means he's just gonna look at the graphics. not going to worry about the text. just going to view the images of the pokemon and whatever the numbers mean, such as HP, attack, etc. numbers don't change from jap to US

it will take only a few months for it to be released in the US

 

ok. now i get it. you explained it a lot better.

 

dats excatly wat i mean, thanx

 

yeah if u have one if them flash carts that load commercial roms then with most pokemon games that have been released there have been fan made english patches that i have seen around although i forget where. i am going to wait though... but i really want one of them special edition ds lites with the pokemon pic on the front

 

your not going to have to wait a year for the US release, I can tell you that for sure. dsdavis6, Im sure youll be able to just buy some skins of pokemon and stick them right on your DS
