    Wow i wish i could so something like that. But isnt it anooying that you have to delete all your legendary's ect..

    All hard work is gone, but that doesn't mean I can't obtain them back. Also, trading would be involved if I were to have event Pokémon and other Pokémon/items.

    Originally, I had wanted White thinking it would be the one with Reshiram, but that isn't the case anymore since they decided to switch it this generation.

    Sora's Nobody, you're getting off-topic, stick to discussing why you want Black or White.

    Once again i am sorry. It is hard to stay on topic at times. One biggest reason i want white is because it had rankurusu. As i had said to myself before it was revealed that i wanted the game with him in it. I also at somepoint really wanted the game that has Black city. But i was convinced that white forest was so much cooler.

    The only thing that's making me lean towards White right now is the fact that it has Rankurusu. Both legendaries are equally cool to me, but I really like how Rakurusu looks, especially over Gochiruzeru.

    I'm probably getting both, then eventually the third one. I do that whenever a new gen comes out, or even updates. (Like HG SS, I got them both) so yeah. And I actually prefer Gochiruzeru more than Rankurusu. Rankurusu looks weird to me somehow.

    I might actually downlo legally obtain the Japanese Pokémon Burakku when a piracy patc it comes out. Because, you know, you don't need to know Japanese just for a simple metagameless playthrough.

    Well yeah i guess so, but i would still like to be able to understand to some extend what is happening. I mean imagine if you have to talk to someone on some lone route isolated which you are only able to reach if you go to "That guy at the other end of the country" who gies you an HM, which you can only use if you beat the gym at the third part of the country.

    That's where walkthroughs come in!
    Anyway, I don't really like the two-year gap between the two original games and the Director's cut version. It's kind of annoying to wait two years for the 'Ultimate Canon'. I'm trying to make it look shorter by playing Japanese during the first year of waiting and English during the second. Problem is, then it needs to be translated... Which may take another year. They better make a spin-off in the meantime.

    Sigh... It's funny what I'd do for honey to stay on topic.

    I'm gonna get Black version because I like Reshiram. I don't understand why Reshiram is the mascot for Black and Zekrom is the mascot for White instead of the other way round.

    Well that is because of the Yin-Yan. Black/White White/Black. And THAT is the reason that Isshu is in Shanghai, booya.

    Don't bring the "Where is Isshu?" debate into this thread, just concentrate on why you're getting Black or White.

    I'm probably going to end up getting White, but if they make a third one, I'm going to wait for that instead. If they do, what's it going to be named though? Pokemon Gray? D:

    Black because it has black city and most the cashiers at my GameStop are African descent and if I got White they would think I'm racist o.o I would probably get the third counterpart (probably going to be called Pokemon Gray) but it will come out like what, two years later?

    We'll if they question you are stare at you, just say that you're getting White because Zekrom's in it and he's black

    Pokemon White definetely. Rankurussu, just you wait, YOU WILL BE MINE!!!!

    I'll also be getting the third game as well, because it's always way better.(Case in point: Crystal, Emerald, Platinum)

    It's kind of unfortunate that I won't be able to go to Black City, and that I won't get cool futuristic cities, but instead be replaced be a stupid forest and stupid towns. But...

    RANKURUSSU!!!!!!
