  • Since my brother hates changes in game (hes really stubborn). He may not get black/white. What i always do is i buy both the games (usally by trade-ins) and then let my brother pick which one. He picked soul silver cuz his 1st game was silver. Mine was ruby. So i got heartgold (and kinda wanted it).

    Most of my friends will get black because its a "cool" color. Im most likely picking white unless something desperatly pulls me off it.

    I need more information, but at this point I'm going to either get both or the one that has the better looking legendary on the cover.

    My brother and I usually get one version each while the other gets the opposite version (he has LG, I have FR, he takes Diamond, I take Pearl, he wanted Lugia, I had to get Ho Oh). I'm hoping to get Pokemon Black just because Black is baaaad, but I'm prolly going to end up with White. xD

    Oh, the new Pokemon games are called Black and White?

    Well, I may be biased, but I'll have to go with Black.

  • I'd get the third version, unless Black/White has some exclusives that the third one doesn't.

    I don't really know, my choice really depends on the version-exclusive Pokemon and the version mascot.

    I'll probably get Black and the third version. That's what I usually do- get one of the first two, and then get the third.

    Black sounds more cool and evil. I doubt they're gonna let you be the villain, but I can still dream, right?

    I'll get both and then i'll compare it to each other. Then pick one. I think Black will be the winner.

    I'm getting neither. Why?

    Well, I never play my Diamond version anymore. It was a waste of $35 once Platinum came out, because IMO, Platinum outclasses Diamond/Pearl in so many ways. Since the 3rd version to Black/White will be the same, I'm choosing not to waste $35 bucks on a game that will eventually be obsolete once the 3rd version comes.

  • Because of Zeckrom, I might choose White now, it just looks so cool, with it's name and all. I wish it was the Black Mascot, then again, you wouldn't be able to see it on the Box :P

  • I'll get Black first. Reshiram is an awesome pokémon and is excusive to that game, and I was gonna get it from the start, so I definitely am.

    I'm gonna get White, and the third game, later on.
