Nintendo likes to make sure everything is fine polished. They'll want to accurately translate everything and probably look over it a lot. They don't just run it through Google translate. Also, if it doesn't take so long, then do it yourself. I'll be certain that thenewpoketext will work with it (considering it runs on Platinum's engine and structure, I'm pretty sure), so you can translate everything yourself. Don't start bashing something if you're not able to do it yourself. The only exception to that rule is shovelware games, since no one would want to do that.
By seeing the trailers, it looks like HG/SS also has some "Crystal" in it. Suicune is in the wild, Eusine stalks...again, and you have a Battle Frontier. Those are some of the improvements found in Crystal, right?Yungmoney said:i wouldnt play any of those when they come out cuz there has to be a crystal version
The new poketext really makes the translation of basic things quite easy. I expect you'll have your basic patch done in no time.KazoWAR said:I will be attempting a basic menu translation as soon as i can get my hands on the game. I have so far done a successful practice translation with the Japanese version of platinum. If all goes good i can have hg/ss translated with in a few hours once i get it.

Good luck,
