Im new to this but i would wanr to do a speedrun that was a imported version of specific game that could add an extra boost to the experience

Well depending on the game and community, they might have different rules for different versions of a game. For example, in some games platform and region of a game doesn't matter and they are all treated the same when times are submitted to LBs. Sometimes however a community will decided to separate LBs by platform/region and have different categories for them. This is completely a game by game basis though as there is no standardization for something like this.

Go to the LBs for the game you want to run, see if anyone has done a run on the version you want to do a run on. If yes, then you're golden. If no, then maybe ask in the game's forums why nobody has done a run on that version. Maybe it's no allowed for some reason or it has it's own separate category.

Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Also some game's regions are not runnable, so you gotta take that into consideration as well

Well i was thinking of pokemkn(pocket monster) like green or any of the other versions that have been released

French Southern Territories

Pocket Monster Midori is always in japanese by definition.

For Pocket Monsters, there doesn't seem to be a very large community of runners for them (at least on here, I'm not sure about any other sites out there). The current LB for those games only has 2 games and one of them doesn't even have any runs for it http://www.speedrun.com/pocketmonsters

The main Pokemon series can be found here http://www.speedrun.com/pokemon and they don't have any JP versions on their LBs because Pokemon has a history of being done on the English versions (aside from the odd case of Pocket Monsters Stadium).

That being said, if you want to run more Pocket Monster games, then maybe you can work with the existing moderator on the Pocket Monster LBs to get more games added. Or you yourself can request to become a moderator for those LBs. That way any runs you want to do can be added appropriately.
