  • Going for White because Zekrom owns. And because Iris owns. And yeah, White Forest.

    I'll get the third game as well. There was no option for that combination in the poll, though.

  • ★ Which game are you getting and why?
    Probably black, because I like Reshiram more than Zekrom. Let's just ignore the innuedo.. :$
    ★ If you've already gotten one of the games, do you regret getting that one and would prefer getting the other one? Or are you fine with what you have and if so, what makes you prefer that game?

    Still have to wait until spring.. :(
    ★ If you're getting both, why?

    I just buy one game, thats enough for me.
    ★ Or are you waiting for the third game?

    That would probably the best option if you want the best of the three, since the third is always an Upgraded version of the other two. However, that makes you eager if you know black and white are out and you have to wait another year to pass... So no, I won't go for that option.

  • I will inevitably be getting all three, just as I have since the first generation.

    However, I'll be choosing White first, because Zekrom is simply awesome.

  • Does anyone else understand why churine and monmen are exclusives when you can trade for the other one. I mean you just have to travel to the next city! I mean, maybe if it was like the 6th town or so, but the one right after you catch it?

  • White, definitely. Zekrom is just awesome, and I have this white theme going on, so I feel obligated to get it (I actually have Yin and Yang friendship necklace type things, and I happen to have the white portion).

    Well imo, it's to make Black not seem as bad, because most of the "popular" exclusives are in White (except Reshiram), while Black misses out on Churine, Wooguru, etc. So... to make it fairer, or something along those lines.

    Ummm what? lol, some people might like the pokemon in White better. I like the vulture better than the eagle. And Erufuun is very popular, I think more so than Doredia. I think it might be for those who are unable to trade, through Wi-Fi or any other means. So an ingame trade is necessary to help people fill their dex with pokemon they are unable to get any other way.

    Or alternatively that, but I just know that post people I've spoken to have said that White has better Pokemon. So, yeah. But still, even so, you'd need the other version exclusives to fill up the pokedex that are popular too. It's kinda strange tbh.

    I'll still prefer White's Pokemon, though!

    Yeah I still like White pokemon better as well, Yuniran FTW!! But I like Blacks legendary better. That is why I am going to get both, as well as so one of the games I can play seriously and get the events through, and the other I will muck around in and maybe restart a couple of times.
