Gen V Pokémon game names revealed - Pokémon Black and White Versions

Re: Gen V Pokémon game names revealed - Pokémon Black and White Versions

Last Saturday, I went to a friend of mine, and we did the Region Test.

Things done
  • Region Swap
  • Live Caster
  • Infrared

Region Swap
Region Swap is done by by putting the games into wrong region consoles on purpose.
While my friend has an European DSi XL, Pokémon Black Version, and Pokémon White Version, I have a Japanese 3DS, Pocket Monsters Black, and Pocket Monsters White.
First, I did his European Black in my Japanese 3DS, and I can even play it.
Then I did my Japanese Black in his European DSi XL, and it wasn't recognized at all.
Finally, I've put both games in their own region's devices, and they both work.

The manual of the European Black says clearly, that it's region locked, but I've proven it otherwise.

Live Caster
Everything works, but weird.
While my camera was fluently on both devices, his camera was laggy as hell on mine.

Infrared
We did Friend Code Swapping, Battles, and Trades.
All of them work perfectly.

Conclusion: Only the Japanese versions are region locked to play, and for use of the PokéShifter.
