  • I already ordered Pokemon Black in Japanese, but when it comes out in America I'll get Pokemon Black and White again... Then I'll probably get the third version when that comes out.

  • It depends which Pokemon are available to me, really. As long as i get Doryuzuu, Wargle, Denchura, Desukan, etc, ill be happy. If all of those aren't exclusive, ill get White, because Zekrom is win. :3

    i will be getting white, because in pokemon white you can catch zekrom, and in my opinion, zekrom is cooler then reshiram:)

  • When I first found out about these two games, I initially chose White as I prefere it much more to Black.

    Pre-ordered White from PlayAsia 1st August, got shipped yesterday (17th September) been tracking it all day :P 2 Hours away now so should arrive 21st September (Monday) can't wait! :D

  • I'm going to get black when it comes out in america. my first thought was to get black (always go with your gut feeling!). then I was not sure of the two.... thinking maybe white.... then black again.... then white....

    well I've come across a thread here that informed me that reshiram is a nature pokemon, and its counterpart is a mechanical pokemon. well since reshiram is in pokemon black, that's what I'll be getting :) st. francis is the patron saint of nature and stuff (the environment) and he's my confirmation saint :D

    go black!

  • I will be choosing the White version.

    I dislike the color black, it's too emo for me. Not to mention almost everyone I knew around me was going to get it, so I opted to get White so there could be some kind of difference and we could trade pokemon and etc without much trouble from each versions.

    Glad I picked White! I love love love Zekrom. His color is okay with me, but I mostly love his design. Not to mention his typing makes me giddy. Also Rankurusu is in White and I love it to death. <3 I really did not want to get Jynx's gothic cousin.

    Personally, after watching a walkthrough of the new games on Youtube (be LePokemonElite), I hate the looks of these games. They remind me too much of Digimon, and has a completely alien feel to it. I liked the old games much more. I'll still get either Black or White (probably White), but only to try it out. from the looks of the game, I don't think I'm going to like it very much.

    I actually ordered and am playing the Black version. However, when the game is available in English, I will buy White, then maybe the third version.

    I always try all versions.

  • 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.)
    This. Completely.

    And, of course, the fact that I have a compulsive need to own every single Pokemon version. (:

    White. I'm not an emo, so Black City and the miserable pokemon aren't appealing to me. White Forest looks amazing too.

    Black. It appeals more to me.

    I can't wait for the NA release :/
