You weren't. Roms for Black didn't come out for a long ass time.

White then? Believe me or not, I did. To this day I still call Unova Isshu, Audino Tabune, and Snivy Tsutara.

Even when they did they had made the game so that Pokemon couldn't gain exp in roms, it took ages to patch that shit if I remember right.

Wrong. You had to use a patch action replay code to get it to work. You could read the items and move text but most story text was still Japanese unless it was something required to progress or whatever

Ya dude, this shit was all over VP (I think), everyone referred to the pokemon by their japanese names, we waited patiently for full translation which I don't think ever came, and Snivy was the meme pokemon at the time. Besides "Wotter" and how much everyone hated him. Lotsa N shitposting, "Doryuuzu" was worshipped as one of the best pokemon to be added, etc etc. That was like the golden age of pokemon in my personal experience. I haven't had much fun with the community otherwise, but VP was relatively new then

Were the roms leaked? I remember thinking it was weird that more people weren't talking about how the games were available online.

Around september/october 2010, I also played Pokemon Black (or White) with my friend's R4. I remember the romanization of Pokemon's names, the only one I can think of right now is Tsutarja.

Good times, I played the game until E4, after that I waited it to be release in America.

From wikipedia:
On the day of the Japanese release, Nintendo of America sent cease and desist letters to two English language Pokémon fansites, PokéBeach and Serebii, after they published screenshots and various other media from the newly released games.[81] Nintendo claimed the posting of the media was infringing copyright and noted their intention to shut down the websites under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act unless the media was removed.[81][82][83][84] The screenshots were subsequently taken down from both websites.[83] Luke Plunkett of video game blog Kotaku initially speculated that Nintendo of America issued the cease and desist letters over the belief that the images were illegally obtained via a ROM image; however, Jon Sahagian of PokéBeach stated the images in question had been obtained from the Japanese forum 2channel.[81] Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America's senior director of corporate communications, later stated that it was the choice of images that were of concern to the company. In a statement to Kotaku, he said, "Nintendo supports and appreciates the efforts that Pokémon fans go through to create fan sites. In most cases there is no issue with the content that is posted, but on this occasion we had to contact a select few websites to ask them to take down confidential images."[81]

Bullshit. I remember patching the rom with a partial translation that also removed the anti-piracy EXP glitch and playing it on my R4. It was the first DS rom I ever downloaded and installed myself.

I still have my translated-through-storyline patches on those ROMs anon, think again. The whole translation effort was a huge multi-community project back in the day, and I remember there being some bitching when the main group refused to translate the postgame to encourage players to buy the legit version when they released. I actually got my first SuperCard DSTwos to play them because at the time all I had was a toaster of a laptop and emulating them was hell. I still sometimes think of the Gen5 Pokemon by their Japanese names to this day.

Because Pokemon games are simple and if you've played one you call play all of them, especially with visual cues like move colours and so on. I played Diamond in Japanese when I was 12.

>>27644618
Except they did, the moment they came out in Japan I downloaded one along with everyone else in /vp/

I still remember downloading a version of the rom where all the text was replaced with Cory in the House. Good times.
