Black and White importing might be a serious issue for DSi owners

[Mitchman]

As we know they're DSi enhanced. How? Dunno. Why? Well....
If you don't read up much on what's going on with the DSi, games started getting TWL'd for no reason and had no enhancements. What did happen though is the games didn't work for DSi's. And these games were regular old DSi games. What was enhanced with them, is not any gimmick or such, its just now the games are starting to get a region lock included. This possibly could also carry over to the next generation DS's that have backwards compatibility, which could mean importing the games might mean you have to own the older DS's. Just thought I'd inform you guys, for us who are stuck with DSi's that is.

Well, I guess I'll probably beat my old friend Marriland to the Elite 4 again, if my SoulSilver version is any good for a gamer's portfolio (I beat him to Red on the English version by a long shot).

Due to the DSi enhanced status of the game (I hope they actually enhance it instead of just adding the region lock. I hate when companies add copyright protection software and call it an "enhancement"), most people are going to want to play it on a DSi, so importing probably won't be an option for Marriland, Seribi (surprise, surprise, those two aren't enemies at all. They would probably be friends if they know each other in the first place.), Pokebeach, and even most of Bulbagarden.
