Pokemon Black Version (U.S version, region free) previews

I was a little skeptical about the new generation of pokemon, but after playing the game, it is pretty fun, It actually feels like a new game and not just another repeat (which is really how all the recent pokemon games feel to me) Even though some of the new pokemon just look wierd, there is some pretty awesome ones, design wise and type wise. Keen to get white in english when it's released. I'm digging it :)

Be aware that Pokemon Black and White is a DSi enhanced title!

If the Japanese version has anything to go by, we are in a grey zone as to wether this title will work on a New Zealand bought DSi or DSi XL.

Japanese Pokemon Black/White WILL NOT WORK on a New Zealand DSi/DSi XL, it will work fine on a the original DS or the DS Lite. But a DSi/XL will not allow you to even launch the game! (it wont even appear when you insert the cart)

We know that the DSi/XL has a region set to aus/nz by looking at the settings in the console, because of this, what we do not know, is if this US copy of Black/White will work or not.

Therefore: If you have a DSi/XL bought in New Zealand: This title might not be playable! If you have a DS or DS Lite: Everything is ok!

The DSi enhanced feature is simply video chat, so if you don't mind missing out on that feature and have both a DS/L and a DSi/XL, then feel free to purchase this import.

Otherwise, wait until confirmation on the region locking for DSi/XL between the US cart and NZ console!
