5th Gen Black or White: Which will you choose?

[Kirbychu]

Both, who wouldn't?

People that don't have the money to buy the same game twice?

 

[Zeta Sukuna]

Both.

This generation, for me, from what we've seen thus far, seems too fun to miss out on the other. (And for the common madness of restarting one version, and sticking around on another.)

QFT. This is what I'm going to do, anyway. Though I'll be getting them at different times, I will still get them both, just because I do that anyway with the other gens. Gives me a permanent and a temporary game.

Well maybe they shouldn't buy the same game twice and buy both of them? o.O lol But no, if I didn't have the money at the time I'd definitely go with Black, as it's more appealing to me. I'd just rather get both.

 

[PiPVoda]

I will be getting black, but I accidentally pressed white on the poll XD. Though more than likely I will end up getting white later on.

Buy one and ROM the other one, lol. Or ROM both.

EDIT: ^That's a good idea, I don't have to restart my data that way. Too bad my Pokemon won't be real. 3: Then again, we might get multiple save files!

They are the exact same game, you don't miss out on anything between the versions, especially since we now have wi-fi for trading version-exclusives. Buying the two versions is like me going to the store right now and paying 100$ for two copies of Mario Galaxy. It just seems like a waist of money IMO.

 

[DXrobots]

Yeah I'll just wait for grey or whatever they call the third game to be honest

While some people might think it's a waste, and it honestly could be, they're not the exact same game. That's like saying Gold and Silver, or Diamond and Pearl, are the exact same game. There's more differences than just the Pokemon that you can catch and can't catch between the 2 games.

But regardless, I do see where you're coming from. I'd just go with Harlequin's idea of using ROM's. :P Multiple save files would be the bomb.. I didn't even think of that.

 

[Usagi-Chan~]

Both, with preorder goodies sprinkled on top~

 

[Haza]

I will be getting both at the same time but I am really only gonna play Black version... I just hope we actually get the "Black" legendary with the versions that we choose. I have a feeling a Yin Yang swap is gonna happen.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I'm going to get white then i'm getting the third version(Grey).

 

[Eurydice]

as always i will get both versions and the third when it comes out.

I don't know. Could there be enough room on the tiny game chip to support multiple save files? I mean the DS is pretty small and although we can store more with less nowadays I just don't see there being multiple saved files on black and white due to all the features that will be in the games. Also multiple saved files could conflict with tradind, wi-fi battles, and everything. Would each saved file have the exact same code? Or would there be different ones for each? Too much, too much.

 

[GlitchCity]

wow theres already a forum for black and white. Im not sure on which ones to get (the logos have me confused lol) so I will just get both.

 

[GoldvsRed]

I'll try to get both, but, if not, I'll get White. And, of course, the third version (presumably going to be the "Grey Version").

They are the exact same game. Same Pokemon, same trainers, same story, same battle system, same graphics, same new features, every darn thing's the same. There is absolutely nothing significantly different between each game. Gold and Silver and Diamond and Pearl are the exact same game. If I gave them to someone without showing them the box art or title screen, they wouldn't even know the difference. You will miss out on nothing if you just get one version.

 

[EmeraldSerenade]

I'm going to Black. Its one of my favorite colors, and I don't really care for the game exclusive pokes tbh.

 

[lx_theo]

Black probably, unless I much prefer the White mascot.

 

[loliwin]

Wel, it is all up to the version mascots for me. If Zoroark was the Black mascot, I'd get Black. Nothing else.

But the third version is always better, but im too impatient to wait one more year or so! XD

 

[nielsnijhof]

I am going for the Black version and the 3rd version (Grey I guess :P)
