    So X/Y allowed you to play the games in one of eight different languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, or Italian. I'm sure most of us chose English but are there any of you that went with another language? Perhaps you were hoping to get in some practice or decided to select your native tongue?

    I chose English on my main game, but decided to try playing my other game in spanish to help improve my skills in the language for my spanish class. I prefer English better though since I speak it more than anything else.

    I choose English, because my German is horrible and I really can't be bothered to keep trying when I've for years had no success. Also English is not my native tongue, is very rare for my native tongue to be featured in games. Not like I would have picked it if it where featured.

    English, because that's the only one that I can fully understand, the other languages do have some awesome names though :D

    I played in English, but maybe sometime I'll try it in french and then get really confused because names and stuff are different.

    I chose English, but I really think choosing a different language can really help you learn it a lot better, so it can be really useful! But because I suck horribly at all languages, I just stick with the regular English :D

    If I knew one of the other languages enough I may have chosen it in another play through, but until then I'll stick with English.

    Sometimes I barely understand English, so why would I choose another language?

    Aww hell nah. I actually want to be able to play the game while understanding what is going on, so I always choose English.

    I played through Y during a solo run using only one Dunsparce, and I chose German as the language mainly because I wanted to be able to spell Ragnarök properly as its nickname, haha (why the English games don't have the other accents besides é, I'll never know). It was definitely interesting, as I had no idea what was going on half the time in the dialogue. I did get through it eventually, so that's definitely an accomplishment!

    I've never tried playing the games in a language other than English; dunno if I plan to, though it would be fun to challenge myself~

    Nope. All my plays of the game have been in English, although I have had thoughts of playing in Japanese for kicks sometime.

    I've played in English since that's what I speak the most, but I might play it in Spanish or German sometime. I think it'd be fun. c:

    I played in English of course because the only other language I know is Spanish and I've only been in Spanish class since the start of this school year so I don't know much. But I did try playing through X in Japanese. I got through five gyms but it started to get so annoying that I gave up. xD Its hard not knowing whats going on.

    I'd love to learn Japanese, but I don't think surrounding myself with random symbols will do me any good. :P

    I always chose English, because you (or at least, I) never know when I'm going to want to stick to that file and stop starting over, so I want to make sure I'm set, haha.
