Why do the Japanese versions of albulms always seem to have bonus tracks not available in North America? June 16, 2: Also, why do the Japanese get this and we don't? I find that extra tracks tend to be the case with most imports, not just japanese ones, and I'm pretty sure andrew cooke is right on the money. According to a friend who runs a small record label that occasionally does business in Japan: The extra tracks are there to provide an incentive for buying the domestic version.
Without the extra tracks, Japanese retailers are reluctant to sell the CDs knowing that a large portion of the potential purchasers will simply be importing the product. Here in the UK some record labels will put extra tracks on CD's to encourage people not to buy cheap imports from America or Asia. I doubt this is the case in Japan posted by dodgygeezer at 2: I'm looking at cds at amazon. I always assumed it had something to do with Japan's consumer culture - they will pay the extra money to get the 'best' possible version of the CD.
It may not be twice the price given shipping and import costs, bringing the price to within a couple bucks might be enough. GeekAnimator - for a really thorough explanation, see here warning, Geocities. I was gonna answer this, but instead I'll just say that Gortuk above is pretty much on the money.
Our battle was the last of Round One, and eventually the Judge called time. On Turn 1, I was able to knockout one of his Pokemon, and tied the game we both had 2 or 3 left. On Turn 2, he used Linear Attack on my Ninetails. I knew I had a Junk Arm in my deck.
My second match start went better as I only mulliganed once. He flipped over his cards showing an Active Phanpy and already had Kyougre-Groudon Legend on the bench. I was intimidated, but I pressed on. On my first turn, I used 2 Pluspowers, and used Professor Juniper.
I forgot what I ended up discarding, but I know that I struggled with my decision. We traded prizes as his Donphan took out a Tepig and a Vulpix, but I was able to knockout his Donphan with one Blue Flare the one shot was possible because I previously used 2 Pluspowers and attacked his Phanpy with Tepig. I was able to get Reshiram going and ended up winning. Battle Road , Card Collecting.
I arrived shortly after There must have been around 25 people there and more continued to trickle in. Once inside, I helped put down chairs and waited patiently as the organizers were setting everything up. I waited about 30 minutes after I registered. I made my Pokemon Play card and received a deck box and a promo Gigalith.
I made some small talk with others around myself as I waited. All of us were given 6 Emerging Powers booster packs at around I quickly learned from the others as they opened up their packs quickly and organized them into piles based on types. My childhood memories of getting bad pulls came back to me as I opened each pack. I actually spent a long time looking at the new cards in my first pack, but had to pick up the pace because everyone else were on their 3rd or 4th.
I really like the artwork and the reverse-holo style.
My single holographic was a Cobalion and I knew I had to put him in my deck. The only other metal Pokemon were Ferroseed and Ferrothorn. The cards I remember: I also threw in a Basculin and a water energy at the last minute. This turned out to be a bad decision. I played matches and only won once. The one time I did win was because of Lilligant. Everyone else I played got Tornadus, Thundurus, or one of the legendary beasts out within 2 turns.
One guy I played pulled all 3 legendary beasts and used them too. I was really disappointed at my pulls, but it was still exciting. There are no prizes for winning at Pre-Releases, so you only have to worry about having a good time. If heads, the Defending Pokemon is now Paralyzed.
If your opponent has any benched Pokemon, choose one and do 10 damage to it. If heads, the Defending Pokemon is now Confused. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads.

People who bought Black or White should know about at least 1 of these 2 Pokemon. Tornadus is in Black while Thundurus is in White. But once both are reunited in the Abundant Shrine, Landorus will appear and stay here until you decide to challenge it. Weaken it as much as possible, let it flee, find it again and use a paralysis move on it. Then, shoot the Balls in a frenzy-like way!!! But Tornadus can learn Smack Down, which is a Rock-type move via TM, giving a super effective blow on Thundurus and neutralizing its immunity to Ground-type attacks, since it is also Electric-type besides Flying.
Because of that, it has a big advantage over Tornadus with its resistance to Flying moves and its offense with Electric-type moves, but is still vulnerable to Smack Down, which Tornadus can learn, and not only receive a super effective attack, but also making Thundurus vulnerable to Ground-type moves! Just like its Black counterpart, Thundurus can learn very similar moves, but lacks Flying-type moves besides Fly, so a good moveset could be this is the one I use for my Thundurus: Sludge Wave, Crunch, Thunderbolt and Fly.
In the Unova region , Accumula Town is the first town you will encounter. If you can remember from the first few minutes you spent playing, you, Bianca and Cheren caught their first Pokemon in Route 1. There was also a small contest to catch Pokemon if you can remember that precisely. When you walked up to Accumula Town, you would see Team Plasma for the first time announcing their plan to make a better world by having all Trainers release their Pokemon. The basics of the game are also covered in this town.
As part of the storyline, when you walk outside the Pokemon Center, you will meet N for the first time. He is still a vague character who claims he has the ability to see the bond between you and your Pokemon. The west is a gate; follow it and after a few patches of grass, you will reach Striaton City, where you can find and battle the first Gym Leaders in Unova. Like Viridian City or Cherrygrove City, this town can be considered a warm-up town because of little Trainer challenges and its lack of activity. Each of the buildings feature people who will tell you some rookie tips, which are unnecessary for the Pokemon veterans.
Also, everyone you talk to will either mention how relaxed and at ease they feel or some more Trainer tips; this town hides, unlike most Unova towns.
On the topic of aesthetics, you will notice that there is a soft music in the area, which can only be disturbed by riding your Bicycle. Like Castelia City, you can alter the music, but not entirely. It is located north of the Pokemon Center on a hill. Once you go inside, you will find a girl pianist and a guy drummer. You can ask them to play their instrument if you want a slight change in the soft tones of the theme. If you talk to them again, it will say that they are concentrating on their performance. You will soon find that the theme has changed, adding his or her instrument.
Regardless of the lack of activity here, Accumula Town is a great place to wind down if one is a real Trainer. The Global Link has quite a few ways in which you can communicate with other players. In order to keep everything clean, though, sending direct messages through text is not possible. How you want to communicate depends on who you want to talk to.
E-Z Mail is a feature where you can pick a prearranged message and insert your own words into it, which are also provided.
CDs by Japanese artists don't have an "import" version to compete in the marketplace, so they don't need to have the extra incentive to induce people to buy the Japanese version. He is still a vague character who claims he has the ability to see the bond between you and your Pokemon. I also threw in a Basculin and a water energy at the last minute. If you talk to them again, it will say that they are concentrating on their performance. June 16, 2: You can also see the kinds of Dream World Furniture people place in their houses.
The other way of indirect communication appears through the Dream World. It is very tough to find your Friends or Trade Pals, since there are about 1 million accounts made in the Global Link. Finding them is slim to none; the odds are even worse than finding a Shiny legendary Pokemon without hacking.
By helping them with their world, they can be notified of it and help you with yours, thus making things easier for you and lessening the times you have to go back on. One more interaction with others is by visiting their house. You can also see the kinds of Dream World Furniture people place in their houses.
