Importing Help

W

~Water Lucario~

Hello
Okay I would like to import the American D/P from Play-Asia since Australia wont get this game till sometime in May. Two problems are stopping me, one is the connectivity with the GBA games which I am sure is not a problem. The other concern though is the connectivity with PBR on my PAL Wii, has anyone ever imported a GBA game that still worked with their Gamecube, or can anyone assure me this wont be a problem.

Thanks for the help.
 
listen, don't confuse this with somebody being mean, but do you really need it so badly that you can't wait an extra few weeks? i mean, if it was june or later, then i'd understand, but if it is just may, and as you say there may be problems, then it would be best to wait.

i know it's hard but it's what i reccomend, ok.

Considering Pokemon Box and the Colosseum bonus discs in the US and Japan didn't work with other region games, it's highly likely you won't be able to use a different region DS game with a different region PBR game. Especially considering the Wii is region locked, like the GameCube.
 
Well considering I have waited for this game since it was anounced in October 2004, I am sure I can wait another month though I would of liked to have imported and gotten it afew weeks sooner.
 
You could get the american DP and then then trade it to the English DP when it comes out there.
 
you could get the american d/p and trade over to an austrailian one... but in order to upload pokemon thru pal park or to PBR youd need English GBA games and trade to them from your austrailian ones. also youd need a american wii to play english PBR... but as everyone else stated waiting may just be your best bet...
 
Uh, just one question. Pal Park can still work if you have a Japaneese DP with an English RS right?

I got an american Ruby and it works fine with my PAL XD and colloseum but I dont know if its the same on the wii.
 
This is Benjamin from A-N forums. Once again, I am telling you that this should work fine, stop worrying.

Oh and to the people saying that a few extra weeks of waiting won't hurt, it's actually probably going to be June, not May, like he said. And considering that Australia is such a small country (population-wise) 99% of the forums will have the game by the end of April. Being around people who will all own the game and such... it's all very annoying being left out. And that's coming from experience.

no, and please don't hijack his thread.

On topic, I know I would import it if I could get it a few months earlier. Oh wait, I already imported the Japanese version, lol. But if I had an option to get one in English earlier, I would pay more to get it sooner. Especially since it sounds like it will work with your Pal Wii. Note, I'm not saying it will, thats just what others are saying.
 
Well actually I would not be paying more, I would be saving up to $15 importing through Play-Asia since it would cost me $55 Australian including delivery. EB are selling D/P for $70 so I would end up saving $15.

We've been saying this since the first few months of D/P's Japanese release. You CANNOT use an American GBA cart to do Pal Park.
 
Generally, English language carts are all compatable. And i dont know where you got the idea that american and english arent compatible, you can use american/english carts with english/american gamecube games, i do it myself. Im almost 100% certain that importing will not restrict the game in the future.
 
That is why I made this thread because alot of people have had no problem in the past. It all depends on Nintendo Australia now and what date they choose to release D/P.
 
Water Lucario I'm gonna wait til about the 19th of this month (11 days from now) and if Nintendo Aust still hasn't announced the offical release date then I'm gonna get what's pry a US import from a store called Games Traders (out in Glen Waverley near the Glen).

I'm not sure what the price is but I know they're releasing it on the 27th of April, not sure if that's any help to you.

If Nintendo has announced the date and it's about mid May I'll pry just wait a little longer and get an Aust version instead.
