Well pokemon is fun but playing it in japanese might ruin the *starting again* i can read some japanese but not much but i wrote my name as Reo in japanese should i play it?
if you don't want your thrill spoiled you can play until the 1st gym leader just to experience the new designs and pokemon. it shouldn't take long without the cutscenes. when Pokemon HGSS (JP) came out I played until halfway of the game but still had the will to finish the US release of both versions
