I'm purchasing both, but White will be my primary game since Black is going to my sister. Originally, I was going to get Black, but because of exclusive reasons - specifically Zekrom and Reuniclus - I ended up choosing White for myself.
More than likely, if and when a third version is released I'll get that too. |
i will get both though i prefer white.
|
I'm getting both games (and the third game, when it comes out), as I've done for most generations. Whenever I don't buy both games to begin with, I end up wanting the additional game at a later point, and then I have to make a separate trip to go buy it. I figure I might as well save myself the time and stress and recognize that I'm going to want every main Pokemon game that comes out, so I might as well buy them while they're still readily available (I learned my lesson when I tried to buy Emerald a couple of years after release and couldn't find it anywhere).
Also, I would like to be able to trade locally to complete my Pokedex, and since I don't have any reliable Pokemon-playing friends (the only one who plays at all doesn't play much), I'd like to have both games so that I can trade with myself whenever I see fit. Wifi does help with the trading aspect, but there are times when it can be really useful to be able to securely trade without worrying about someone cutting off the connection. Having multiple games also gives me a chace to get more event Pokemon, which is always useful, not that I have much time to go to events these days. I'm still debating which game is going to be my main game. I'm leaning towards White at the moment, but I'm sure I'll switch back and forth a few more times before release. Either way, I'll probably try to build decent teams on both. |
I'm going to get White because I like the aesthetic appeal to it. I'd rather have certain places look rustic instead of hi-tech and what not. White Forest also had to do with my decision a bit also, but not much. I think I'd rather have the choice to catch a variety of Pokemon instead of battling them. All in all, I'm very excited for the release. :)
|
im going to go with black mainly because of the rotation battles. ive always disliked 2 on 2 and i know i will hate 3 on 3 so rotation sounds better?
|
★ Which game are you getting and why?
I'll be getting White due to the version differences. Originally I was going to get Black first, but White looks much more appealing. ★ If you're getting both, why? I'll eventually get Black just like I usually get the other one. I'm hoping to get it around Easter, but maybe I'll get it before then. I always like to get a copy of each. ★ Or are you waiting for the third game? I'll also be getting the third game, but I won't be waiting for it before buying any of the games. |
Black Version!!! The exclusives are way better. Black City is the bomb. Plus Reshiram is way cooler than Zekrom. The reason i picked black though is just cuz of back city ahha.
|
I Am getting White mainly because of my love of Reuniclus, but i think the idea of white forest over black city had something to do with it also.
I will probably get the 3rd game when it comes out too. |
Black, ftw. I love Reshiram more than Zekrom.
|
There's no way I'll be able to wait for the third version so I'll just go out and get White simply because I like Zekrom better than Reshiram. I also like the White Forest better than Black City.
|
Ill get black...and then get white later down the track...maybe get Grey or whatever when it comes out.
|
I'm getting both, though White is going to be my main game. I'm getting both because I won't have someone local to trade with, and I'm sorry to say that I'm not too trusting of Wi-Fi trading (unless I know the person). I'd like to have all the Unova Pokemon, and getting both games is the only way I can make that possible.
I won't be getting the third game, however. Not sure why, but I don't really play the third game of a series unless I have a good reason to want to. (Hi, Yellow.) |
I am getting White because of White Forest it looks so cool. Also you can find rare items and catch rare pokemon:D
|
Definitely black, I much prefer cities to forests haha.
|
White,because there are Zekrom and Rankurusu)) I don't have DS, so I will try run this game on emulator.
|
I am getting White because I like Zekrom. My brother is getting Black too so I will be getting the opposite of his. I like all the version exclusives. Reuniclus, Braviary and Thundrus rock.I like White Forest too. I want to battle Iris as well. I really like White Forest. I like how it is supposed to be more natural than Black City. I really like that you can find the first stages of a lot of Pokemon from other places in it. That is another big reason why I am getting White.
|
I'll probably be getting White, specifically because of Zekrom.
I hope I don't regret that lol, though from what I've seen, I don't think I will. |
I love Reshiram but... WHITE IS SUPERIOR.
I reeeeeeeally want to get Black, but if I was to get most of my money I'm going to take White. I was actually planning on getting both, but I need to save my money and buy an iPhone. |
I usually get one of the first two games, then the third game. I'm going for White, then waiting for the third game.
I'm kinda surprised more people want black then white. I think the legend in white looks much better (I get mixed up with the names). And I'm glad both legends are pretty awesome looking. I was disappointed with Dialga and Palkia tbh. |
Ill have both because my two brothers are getting one each
|
I'll be going for White simply because of the White Forest. I'm not as concerned about the legendaries or exclusives.
|
Zekrom looks completely stupid to me so I'm going with Reshiram. He looks amazing.
|
I pre-ordered both on Amazon, and so did my brother. (We each got one $10 credit due to an agreement between us.)
|
white
Back in September when i was trying to decide which one to pre-order, it was a really tough desicion (yes, i pre-ordered 6 months ago) but after careful concideration, I chose White. White has better version exclusive Pokemon, and it has ZEKROM!!!!!
|
I would probably get black because my friends are all getting white because they liked the look of Zekrom. I think there are a few pokemon differences between the two games so they be begging me for some.
|
I couldn't decide on which one to get, but I ended up reserving white because my friend plans on getting black. I'll end up buying black at some point of course, though.
|
I'm gonna get Black..... But I REALLY want Wargle!!!!!!!!!! >_<
|
I think I'll get White, just cause I think Zekrom is awesome. Awesomely boring and generic reason, I know, but it works!
|
Well, at first l had my eyes set on getting white, but change my mind and decided l would go and pre-order black, Reshiram has grown on my and me being a nerd and all black city seems like a cool place. Probably has something to do with it not being as popular as White right now.
|
I reserved Black. Overall, I prefer most of its game-specific Pokemon (Reuniclus noooo!) and I like Reshiram a lot more than Zekrom. My brothers are both getting White, though, so I'm covered on all my bases. :rambo:
edit: also, yeah, Black seems less popular than White (probably because everyone's like "ooo zekrom ooo"), which probably lends to why I like it more. |
im surprised theres not more people getting all 3 i know i am
|
White! I'll be getting the third game to most likely, but for now white is good. Mainly for white forest, i must admit. I'm more of a collector than a battler xD

and also, why do people seem to bash zekrom so much. He is so much cooler then reshiram |
I'll be picking up White and then The Ruby Remake next year and then Grey after that.
|
I'm hoping to get both. My birthday is next month so so I will get White then. I should be getting Black Saturday morning, thanks to my Dad. ^^
|
I'm surprised at the poll results, I actually expected the oposite to what I saw (Black having more votes than White) but I'm happy because hardly any of the games that come after the first are chosen
Red & Blue Gold & Silver Sapphire & Ruby Fire Red & Leaf Green Diamond & Pearl Heart Gold & Soul Silver Black & White What I mean is everyone seems to go for the game that's said first of the two games, as shown above, well thats what I think plus I prefere White to Black, although I think it's mainly to do with Zekrom & Reshiram being on oposite games to their colour.

But yeah, back on topic, I'm getting White on Friday, reserved at Game, not long now! |
I have pre-ordered black.Why?Because I love Reshiram and I like cuter pokemon and the pokemon on black are cuter to me.I plan to one day get white or the 3rd game,which I think is ganna be named grey cause I want the solosis line,but I can always try to trade a exclusive from my game for one of them when I get a rounter thats compatable with my ds or dsi
|
After a lot of thought I've decided to get White! I based it on the version exclusives (as anyone would I suppose)
First of all I prefer the White Forest over Black City, the Forest just looks more like pokemon to me. The version exclusive pokemon was tough, I decided to just compare the new gen pokemon and choose from there. It turned out that the two legendary (roaming and the one on the front of the case, can't remember names off the top of my head) that swayed it for me. I'm pretty sure I'll never use them, but it helped nonetheless :) |
I've got to go with Pokemon White! Can't wait for the White Forest and the exclusives for this game!
|
I do plan to one day get white as well but that will be the distent future I believe,and I like fighting trainers more then wild pokemon and I can do that anywhere else in that game pretty much.
|
White. At first I was thinking of getting Black until I heard how the legendaries were 'switched' around. I find Zekrom more appealing then Reshiram(I've probably spelled that wrong). Black & blue is one of my favorite color schemes. Also, once I had looked up the exclusives for both versions...I was sold on White. Poochyena & Rufflet? Yess. Already preordered White. Of course I'll get Black eventually & whatever third version they'll make.
|
Yup, tomorrow morning (early, at around 10ish) I'm getting in the car and going to GAME where I reserved/Pre-Ordered it on 19th Feb during Celebi event and getting White, then I will probally be playing for a reaaaly long time :D
|
Hehehe...
I'll be playing White this time tomorrow. But I'll have been playing for about five minutes xD |
Well I'll eventually be getting all three, when I have the money and when the third installment releases, and therefore I voted "All Three".
However, I'm starting with White as it has the best pokemon, and I like the nature vs. industry type style that the two games hold, and I'm more a nature guy myself. Also Zekrom is awesome, and the version exclusive pokemon are just generally better in White. :] |
I picked Black for Reshiram. <3 It will arrive tomorrow! :D
|
I was originally going to go with Black because I prefer Reshiram and like the color black over white. However, once I learned that Rufflet/Braviary were exclusive to White, I had to switch. Normally I choose my game based on the preferred legendary, but this time I picked because I simply adore Braviary and need a flying type for my team. In all the other generations I've gone with the starting bird (Pidgey, Taillow, Starly), but the Pidove line...sorry, just can't do it. Unfezant just looks...strange to me. Zekrom has grown on me since then, and the only time I really use legendaries anyway is when I'm battling with my friends casually.
|
I will get all three over time, but the first one I am getting Black.
|
I got Black today! Reshiram is epicness.
|
Well, since the release of the US version I can now post here, I did get the JPN versions both Black and White, I finished both of those, but since I do not understand Japanese, I did again get both the Black and White versions today, I started playing White 1st and have enjoyed it all day long and hope to enjoy Black just as well!! :)
|
Pokemon Black! Will probably get the third version when if/it comes out.
|
I go for Black becuese Reshiram is Stronger i think
|
Planning on getting a hard copy of both of them. Yep, since my sister is going on vacation to California, I'll just ask her to get them for me, since they are going to be cheaper. I'm probably going to save around $20, which is awesome. Can't wait, stoked fo sure.
|
I wouldn't really matter what I get so I would get both.I think Zekrom is Stronger by its stats if you look at seriibii website about zekrom, But the sad thing is I can only get one game why? because in my country it cost $95.00 for one game which sucks :(.
|
I got black because everyone has white.
|
I'm getting White because I prefer Zekrom. I will also get the third game when it comes out.
|
I'll get White first and maybe Black later. I want the game that has Seed bby in it.
|
i have pre-orderd white witch i can't what till the 10th yay
|
White. And unless you watch a totally unrelated magical girl anime you might not understand my reasoning (then again, you could look at my bishie list and probably find out why.
Yeah, my reason has absolutely nothing to do with the actual Pokemon or content in the game. well, that and the fact that my brother wants Black |
hmmm i got Black becuase its black......but im looking at the cover of White rite now and Zekrom looks freakin awesome....... but whatever im happy
|
i have japanese black but i like my white version more for some reason
|
I decided to start with Pokemon Black, because it's.. ummm, Black. :DDD;
No real reason. Instinct? |
White, got it on release on Friday. White Forest & Zekrom are way too good to pass up.
|
- Pokemon White.
- Why? - Easy.. - Version Exclusives :D |
Third Game Waiters?
Well, as we all know, to date every generation of Pokemon games has released a third game that is better than the previous two games, ie: Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum. So I was wondering weather or not your going to wait for the third game to jump into the fifth generation, I know I am.
|
I always buy the game on release and if there's an extra one later on, i'll simply get that too =]
|
I like to have two games, one to use as my main game (Platinum, HG, future Grey) and one for challenges or that I can reset anytime for whatever reason (Diamond, SS, Black)
|
I'm getting Black now then I'll but Grey and maybe download White :P
|
Off topic for a quick second, has it been confirmed that it will be called grey?
But, I will get the third installment for this generation. |
I really wanted the game when it was released so I didn't hold back and wait for the third game. I really liked the other third installments for generations I have played, so I'll most likely wind up getting this one too once it's out and provided it's a little different than B&W. :)
|
I don't think that its been confirmed, but its most likely.
|
I'd presume it would be called grey, yeah. I bought White, and I've never only bought the third in a generation. I probably will get this one though as I'm enjoying White a whole lot!
|
Gamefreak did announce that there is no confirmation that they will be releasing a 3rd part to generation 5 so we shall wait and see
|
After all the hype, I couldn't see myself NOT getting one of the originals. Plus, it's fun to get the paired one and have a friend with the other one, you get to compare (:
|
Well the haven't confirmed anything about a third game true, but c'mon, every other generation, and nintendo is a company, out to get money, what better way to do that than creating a third game with Kyurem as its focus.
|
i got both of the originals because i am super impatient and then i will get the third game when it is out
|
OMG OMG I just randomly saw someone playing Black/White in an elevator, of all places; I seriously thought I'd have to wait until I got Gray Version to see a Generation 5 game in person! The game does look good with its shiny graphics... (and I'm glad I finally saw someone here with a DS rather than another annoying DS-lookalike cell phone for the umpteenth time)
Anyway, I plan on waiting for Gray Version, particularly due to the poor economy these days, and a few more games that I am prioritizing anyway. I might as well wait for Gray Version to save money rather than buying Black and Gray Versions. If I had extra money and the current Wii/DS games were going to remain on store shelves for years to come, I'd get Black Version almost in an instant, while purchasing Gray Version upon its release as well. Furthermore, I haven't even played Platinum and HeartGold yet, so waiting for Gray should give me ample time to complete my journeys in Sinnoh and Johto, respectively. Additionally, I'm anticipating the possible enhanced gameplay and aesthetic features (and hopeful corrections of BW's flaws) that accompany Gray Version. Another reason why I'm waiting for Gray Version is that if I were to get Black Version now, I'd most likely be wishing to play Gray upon its release. Consequently, I'd probably use up money to buy it, leaving Black Version "useless". A similar thing happened when I had Sapphire Version and learned of Emerald's release. I pored over the Battle Frontier and the availability of Groudon and Kyogre in one game, as well as new Johto Pokemon. At first, I thought I would never have the chance to play Emerald due to it essentially being "redundant", but an unfortunate loss of Sapphire gave me an excuse to purchase it. I wish to avoid that "ogling" of Gray Version and just purchase the "newest enhanced Pokemon version" all in one go and avert any semblance of "redundancy". Lastly, I prefer being self-sufficient, so hopefully Gray Version will include Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyuremu all in one game, so I will not have to depend on a trade from another player. Granted, I will have to trade for BW version exclusives, but I assume players will be more willing to part with lesser version exclusives as they are breedable, reobtainable, and do not have the valuable legendary status attached, as opposed to the limited, available-one-time-only Tao Dragons of Unova. By that token, all I have to do is presumably obtain a lesser version exclusive of my own game, rather than having to chalk up something that amounts to a legendary Pokemon's value. |

Although I would hope to get all 3 versions, I choose Black. I like Whimsicott and Reshiram. I don't regret getting White at all. I can easily trade for the exclusives and I'm looking forward to seeing Black City. Most I know around here have White. Minority game ftw. Plus I get to shout das racist at White players
|
Hi,
In The Poll There Stand:Third Game But will there be a third game? |
Quote:
|
I have both games so far and will definatly be getting the 3rd one.
I got Pokemon Black on release day as I just prefer the name and White I got when I finally gave in to the temptation of buying the Pokemon DSI which came with Pokemon White. And the 3rd game I will get as it tends to add extras. My favourite is Black though. Just because I prefer the name. |
I got Black, because I prefer city over forest and so far prefer my choice. (Though I am not very far in.)
I will however probably get the third game as well, but only because it's not like it will be released TOO soon, so I don't see why you would just wait. |
I already have Pokemon Black. I choice Black because its my favorite color.
I'm planning on getting White bundle that comes with a DSi. I'm anticipating the 3rd game and plan on getting it! |
On-Topic: Black, I like the version exclusives and Reshiram better than White and the Black City. Rotation Battles too :)
I don't want Grey for at least 2 years, if not more. I want some time to actually play my Black game and make a WIFI team before they release a sequel and I have to restart again. I'm hoping one doesn't come out until I'm bored of Black :/ |
Black. The box looked better, and I like equally the same amount of exclusive Pokemon in both games.
|
yeah so I bought White today. I will get Black later when I am finished with White :3
|
I gots me White and im soooooooooooooooooo happy!!
|
I got Black. :) My brother is getting White so I can steal things from him. :3
|
★ Which game are you getting and why?
★ 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? I don't regret not getting the other one, no. I would've liked White, because I get to battle Iris, and get Reuniclus, but yeah. I like Reshiram. :> ★ If you're getting both, why? ★ Or are you waiting for the third game? |
I got White version. I got it because I like Zekrom and I like all the version exclusives and White Forest.
|
I'm all for White, well not "ALL" but that's the one I got.
Probably because I think the White Forest was cool. P.S. I heard that Nintendo will most likely NOT make a Pokemon "Gray." |
My friend bought white, So I bought black :)
|
I got White, because I think the 'mons there are cooler than the ones exclusive to Black. And because of White Forest.
I think I will get the 3rd version too, since it has always been better the the original so far. |
I got White but I'm getting Black later for exclusives and such. :J
|
I'm getting Black 'cos my brother wants White (he likes White Forest.) So basically more battles for me and more collecting for him.
|
I chose White because of Zekrom and all the cool version exclusive Pokemon and the more natural places.
|
I got white and ive no regrets! but tht may be cuz i dont really know all the differences between them, but ill wait until i clear the main story b4 i bother check wat they are...dont want no spoilers :P
|
Is the third game real or fake?.
|
I bought both because I always do, and although I've only played Black so far I think White will turn out to be far better because of White Forest and Zekrom
