Anyone else gonna wait for the 3rd version?
 
When Black/White comes out in the US, I'm not getting it. Here's why: I never play my Diamond version anymore. The last time I played it was in March 2009, which was the last few weeks before Platinum came out. Pokemon Diamond was a waste of money. Eventually, Black/White will have a third version that completely blows it out of the water.

And not only that, but Black/White's 3rd version will probably have more differences than Platinum did, since each Generation the amount of content that gets changed increases.

And not only THAT, but the DS is at the end of it's lifespan. When Gold/Silver came out, the Gameboy was almost at the end of it's lifespan. Gold/Silver are Gameboy games, not Gameboy Color games, but they have enhancements when played on a Gameboy Color. Pokemon Crystal is a Gameboy Color game, and cannot be played at all on a Gameboy. Because of this, I have a feeling that Black/White will have 3DS enhancements similar to Gold/Silver's GBC enhancements, and that the 3rd version will be 3DS only, and cannot be played on DS, just like how Crystal is GBC only.

But besides the 3DS, my main point of why I'm not getting Black/White is because I don't want to waste my money, because to me, getting Pokemon Diamond was a waste of money. I have absolutely no use for it at all, once I got Pokemon Platinum.

EDIT: I decided that I'm not going to wait, because if I wait until the 3rd version comes out, I will probably be spoiled completely. So I'm gonna get Black or White... can't decide which one though. But I'm still definitely getting the 3rd version when it comes out.

Mujahid July 13th, 2010 8:53 AM

Probably not.....Till the 3rd version comes out i'm pretty sure i would have completed my adventure in white...so i'll be ready for a new start :D

Kirbychu July 13th, 2010 8:54 AM

I realize that I'm wasting money, but I just can't sit around while the whole world is playing Black and White! >.<

Hiiragi July 13th, 2010 8:54 AM

I'm actually planning to do the reverse. That means I won't play the pokemon games that come out after White.

Blueknight July 13th, 2010 9:11 AM

I'm getting B/W because it usually takes 2 years for the 3rd version to come out, I'm not waiting that long. Plus, the 3rd version may actually be on the 3DS.

I know I'm wasting money, but I think 2 years of playing B/W and the experience of a new generation, may be somewhat worth it.

And I still use my pearl, mainly for pokesav, and AR testing purposes.

Considering that I would actually be able to face people online with random battles and wifi ratings with super awesome new pokemon, it would be silly to me to not get the games. I am actually planning on getting both. I might not get the third version.

Mortalis July 13th, 2010 9:35 AM

Diamond and Pearl were bad, I agree ...
Platinum was win.

But ... this is a new generation ... so many new features, it can't be as bad as D/P ... can It ?

Let's hope not. I'm getting Pokemon Black anyways, so.
I'd get the 3rd version either way.

rocky505 July 13th, 2010 9:35 AM

it would actually be boring playing the 4th gen games for another 2 years until the 3rd game comes so I will be getting Black and White. If it has anything to do with upcoming games I want I cannot wait long for them 0_o

XEL July 13th, 2010 9:54 AM

After all this hype for BW, which arguably is even greater that DP, I doubt I'll be able to wait that long. 'sides, other than emerald, I've never gotten the third of the set. The initial pair is good enough for me.

Charizard★ July 13th, 2010 9:58 AM

I'm just going to get B and W first then the 3rd version. :3

StratusJm July 13th, 2010 10:08 AM

i will so not be able to wait for the 3rd version not a hope of it

Calder July 13th, 2010 10:09 AM

No... Because there is no way at all to confirm that a 3rd version will come out...

Mana July 13th, 2010 10:31 AM

Black and White look like they are becoming very different games (with the varying cities and exclusive areas).

If there is a 3rd game I expect it would be very different to both, less like replaying the same game like previous 3rd games.

So I think it is worth getting B/W when it comes out and the 3rd whenever it rears its head.

Just saying, but there has been a 3rd version EVERY SINGLE GENERATION.

Stellar July 13th, 2010 10:49 AM

Maybe you can sit around while everyone else experiences the awesomeness that is Isshu, but I can't. It's a waste, yes, but this is how Nintendo screws us all over. It just seems kind of cheap to deprive yourself for that long for something that may or may not be worth the wait. At that point you may as well just download the ROM.

IceFireLighnting July 13th, 2010 11:11 AM

As Calder said, we can't know if there's even GONNA be an enhancement version. We have to wait until it starts its advrotizieness.

Hydrath July 13th, 2010 11:26 AM

meh, im with you there. I like pokemon an dall but I'd rather wait for an enhancement then spend money now. Besides Pokemon is not the only game out there. While you're all playing pokemon on your outdated Nintendo DS's I'll be playing Ocarina of Time on my awesome 3DS, till then donkey Kong Country Returns and Kirby Epic Yarn all the way ^_^

Said it all for me. I'm probably going to buy White and the 3rd game for that reason alone.

Eurydice July 13th, 2010 11:30 AM

no i am going to buy both black and white and the third version. i am having a hard enough time waiting for it to be out in japan so i can import it. no way am i waiting till the 3rd game. plus i like having a complete game collection ^_^

and lets not forget when Heartgold and Soulsilver were announced peeps were denying kanto region because it wasn't officially confirmed... oh wait WE HATE IT :P

Start thinking a bit more logically, there has an enhancement every other gen why stop now? no reason, they a lot money in an enhancement because many of you will buy more then one game because of it.

Why make the gamers pay for only one game when they can make quirky changes, re-sell, and make them buy it again? Brilliant way to increase revenue.

Even if they choose to go to the ruby/sapphire remakes or even striehgt to gen six it still isn't a total loss for those wait either way a new game comes out in two years which is better then the other.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 13th, 2010 12:00 PM

I will get White and the third version like I did in gen 3 with Sapphire and Emerald :)

Kanto was officially confirmed when they announced a remake of GSC... Change is a good thing and they have been changing a bit and they said it was gonna be alot different... Yin and Yang shouldn't have a 3rd version in my opinion because they would have to have both together as the 3rd title which would be rather sad... Just because they can and will make money doesn't confirm the 3rd game... Most will buy every title of any Pokemon game because of the name Pokemon a 3rd title isn't needed to make sells... Hell I could pull something outta my ass put Pokemon on it and have GameFreak sell it and it would make money...

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 13th, 2010 12:31 PM

Why are you so against a third version? It has better graphics, storyline,ect.

Gulpin July 13th, 2010 12:33 PM

I'm probably going to buy Black, then I'll get the third version, then buy White because I always do that. And I don't see it as a waste because I'll be able to do challenges and such on White and use Black as the cartridge that is completed and use it to breed much like my Diamond.
