I just realized something. First of all, there are two versions of the game this time (unlike Platinum), so I can import one in Japanese and buy the other in English. Importing SoulSilver will only cost 25 (or maybe 15) dollars, as I would wind up buying both versions anyway. Here's how I figure it:

Japanese copy + shipping: 65 dollars
American copy + tax: 40 dollars (or maybe 50 if the PokéWalker is included)
Difference: 15-25 dollars

So it might actually not be that bad of an idea to import SoulSilver and get HeartGold when it comes out in English.

Ahh. I thought you would actually import Japanese HeartGold, so you could have an English SoulSilver.

NEW POKÉMON REVEALED!

According to Play-Asia, you can "tame the glittery Lukia in Soul Silver."

Lukia? Sounds like a Riolu pre-evolution.

So, how does that work? It's shiny or something?
