okay... Resume: wait till 06/23/12

But this topic is for the rom translation, it even has 0% for everything. People wouldn't post a translation topic for a rom thats not out yet :)

They would if they wanted to be the first one credited with translation.

Oh wait, pokéstation were the ones that translated Nobunaga's Ambition, right? I thought this was a random project to be started by someone that wanted others to do the editing for them. Sorry about that. But still, new pokemon games usually stump us with protection for a little while, and then some more time until editing text is possible.

Unless it really is just using B/W engine, which seems very likely.

That confuses me, as well. If there's no rom, how is there a translation project already made for it? :unsure:


Alas, I can't see why people won't wait a couple of months. You can wait and will be waiting for a translation anyway, so why not for a localization?

People are so weird.

Anyway, good luck.

Agreed, but I need something to do until I get a job, so i might as well help whoever actually plans to do this out.

To be honest, knowing Hiragana and some Katakana isn't really going to help anyone with any translation. 15 Kanji isn't even close enough.
Many games, especially games like Pokemon, tend to have a lot of Katakana. You would need a lot of Japanese knowledge to translate accurately.

If you need something to do until you get a job, you could study more Japanese. Learning a language is never a bad thing :)

By the looks of things the Jap rom is being leaked at the moment so i am guessing some of you may get a early start if you know where to look

There really isn't much of a point translating a game that is already coming to out in English.
Some people want to play and beat the game around the time when it comes out instead of waiting a couple more months to play a good game, so yeah to some there is a point.

By the time a full English patch is released, the official English game will be out.
Every pokemon release is the same. The only difference between this release and the others is a shorter wait for the English release.

Ho ho don't know if it will be an easy one. Hope you'll be able to make a quick menu patch, and maybe an skills patch (or even pokemon names) after that. Storywise I don't think you'd be able to pull this off sadly :)

Good luck fellow hackers !

I like fan Translations because more of the original meanings are kept. Kinda like the Village Bridge thing in BW. The man that sings, iirc, says he's homeless or something in the Japanese version, but says elsewise in international releases. Fan Translations keep that stuff in there, which is really nice. I support this project.

Some people want to play the English games early. Others just want to have an alternate translation, rather than to use the official localization. It is a way of pleasing the purist fans who like to be technical about things. Regardless of your reasons of interest, this thread was created early so that there will be a team prepared for when the games are released.
