[18 / 3 / ?]
Most people don't know that, while most DSi enchanced games were region locked, the american versions of Pokemon aren't. This means I can play american BW and BW2 games on my JP 3DS. With the 3DS, games are region locked, but not the system, therefore, if it happened that american XY games are region-free too, I could play them on my 3DS. You can tell if a game is region-locked from the barcode on the back of the boxes. So my question is, does anyone have a pic of the box or knows if the US region games will be region free?

We don't even know how regions are determined now that you can pick any language on any game.

>>13861182 Wow, I didn't consider that, if region is determined by language I'll play one of them in Japanese for all my shiny breeding needs.

>>13861849 I was thinking about getting JP Y and US X but I need to know at least the serial above the barcode to know if they made US games region free again.

Keep in mind that all regions will have all languages playable since it is a simultaneous worldwide release, so unless you really care about box art just play the JP version.

>>13862066 That is almost certainly not true. Japanese 3DS games only contain Japanese language. If you know of an exemption, please clarify.

>>13862126 I do know of an exemption.

So Jap 3DS to your hearts content.
