Ok, I know any game from any region can work on any DS, but I'm wondering about the power supplies. You see, I'm thinking of grabbing a DS and Nintendogs for my Fiancee so she has something to mess about with at college when shes bored (seems like a game thats good for short sessions).

Thing is, shes in the States, so I would no doubt grab it for her when I'm out there. But, next year we're getting married and she'll be living here, so I need to know - will I be able to buy a new plug for our sockets here that she can plug the DS into ? Or would I have to grab an adapter for her American plug ?

Funnily enough, theres 3 breeds of dogs that we've talked about owning (in real life) and they all so happen to be on one of the versions of the game.

So I can buy a UK plug and it'll work on an American DS ?

You could just get a British one and an American power adaptor? I did that in Holland a few weeks ago and all worked fine. That was a GBC though.

I have an American DS, and I use a UK charger (came with my GBASP) to charge it. It's definitely the best option.
