Would an US version of Pokemon B&W work with my DS lite?

Question

Basically, I'm from Australia and I know the games will be insanely overpriced when they're released here ($70 for ONE game?!).

I've heard that the new games will be region-locked for DSi's and 3DS's when they're released. So this is a bit of a stupid question, but I wanted to know your opinions/knowledge on the matter.

So, is it worth me buying the games from overseas?

Oh my that is quite costly, I would definitely say yes buy from overseas haha, it should work fine because i don't see how our ds lites would be any different from yours so yeah i would buy from overseas, good luck!

You wouldn't have a problem with PokÃ©mon Black or White working on your Nintendo DS Lite and actually it's not the games that are region locked, it's the DSi and 3DS that are region locked.

Renji · Answer

Yes it would. The Black/White Versions are only region locked for Nintendo Dsi/DsiXL systems.
So Yes it would be worth buying. If you're lucky, you can probably get one over eBay/amazon for around $50 plus shipping.

It is totally worth it. In the US it is $35-40.I am going to get it too on my DS lite.It would be more enjoyable to have 3D game, but who needs 3D? If you want to get a 3D, then it will cost hundreds of dollars.

I think it is worth it to buy it.
