Help I'm thinking of importing Pokemon Black from the UK as I live in Austrailia and I would like to know weather The UK and Australia/NZ are in the same DSI regions.

DS games and DSi features in DS games aren't region locked, so it doesn't matter.

Only DSiware is region locked.
most DSi-enhanced games come with a nice little *for region X DSi's only* notice on the back.
as far as i know they have 3 regions for the DSi.
Japan, Europe(includes australia and probably new zealand too), and USA(includes canada and south-america i think)
so yes there is region locking, but european games do work on australian DSi's

If the AUS DSi region lock falls under anywhere, it would be NA due to location. It would make no sense to make it of the European region.

still, they fall under the european region.
just look at any DSi-enhanced game sold in europe, and you can see a notice on the back of the box that it's only for european and australian DSi's.

Australia is still part of the Commonwealth; perhaps that has some influence in it.

Australia is it's own region. (along with the most obvious three)
So no, Black and white won't work on a DSi but will on a DS phat/lite

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
