I have already pre-ordered both of them. First I actually pre-ordered X then about 2 weeks later I pre-ordered Y. So on the release date I'm just going to pick both up. :)

I'm probably going to get both. Though, if I had to choose, I would probably prefer Y. I'm a sucker for dragon like pokemon, and the legend for Y looks like a wyvern. =)

I first decided on Y because I prefer Yveltal over Xerneas, but it really depends on what exclusives there will be between the two versions. If there's Pokemon I really want in X, then that would be the version I'd get, and I'll just trade for Yveltal.

My vote goes to Pokemon X because personally I prefer Xerneas over Yveltal. I always pick the version that has the boxart which I favor more. ^^

Just like the rest of you guys I pick my games by how I like the look of the legendary or box art.... So I will be getting Pokemon Black (1&2) and Pokemon X

As soon as I set eyes on Xerneas I knew I had to have it. IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL OKAY. The more that I think about my reason for preferring X, the less substantial it seems, but oh well. I know I want X. I like the color blue better, and I'm more one for beautiful over powerful Pokemon.

Now that we've seen more, I guess I have more opinions on this. Although I'm pretty much in love with both of the box arts (which is pretty much the deciding factor for me half the time), I think I'm going to go with X. I like Xerneas as a whole more than I like Yveltal, although I definitely don't dislike it either. Just looks better aesthetically I guess.

Ha-ha, I'm getting the 3DS XL as I don't even have a DS or anything yet (Xbox LIVE gamer for most part) and am encouraging my brother to get the Y version, really hope he does as there's going to be a lot of fun to be had.

It's much too early to decide, but based on the mascots of each version, I'd choose X. Xerneas is awesome: calm, graceful, and wise it seems like a great Pokemon. Ylveltal looks really cool too, I think they really hit a home run with the legendaries of Gen. VI!

I'm waiting until version exclusives are released, but for now it'll probably be Pokemon X.

Right, so I've decided to get X on release date in October and when my birthday comes around in November I'll get Y, so pretty close together really.

This is the first generation that I absolutely love both mascot legendaries(1st gen and remakes don't count since mascots weren't legendaries).

I like Xerneas, but Yveltal is so much cooler. Lugia has always been my favorite legendary, and I have always thought "They should make an evil looking red and black themed version of Lugia, I would love that." Well, Yveltal is pretty much that, and I love it.

But I will definitely be getting Y version.

1. Yveltal, as mentioned above
2. Better cover art
3. Red and Black are my favorite colors, and Y uses those two.

But that's about it for now. I wonder what all will be version exclusive?

I'm planning on getting both games. Sometime around third gen or so, I concluded that when I don't get both games to begin with, I always end up wanting to pick up the game I didn't get at a later date. It's a lot easier to just get both games at once and save myself the trouble of hunting for the second version later.

Admittedlly, I rarely have time to play the second version of most of the games I pick up these days, but I still like having it. I'm not sure which version will be my main one, but I'm leaning towards X (because I like the letter X better than the letter Y).
