Black or White?
 
Looks like the old thread died. Thus, it is time for a new one.

★ 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?
★ If you're getting both, why?
★ Or are you waiting for the third game?


I'll be getting both of the games, though I do plan on playing White first, mainly because of White Forest I guess. XD;

Asrodrig November 2nd, 2010 10:36 PM

I'll probably wait and get Gray, or whatever they decide to call the third game. Although if I do get one before then, it would be Black, because I like the look of Reshiram.

Cynder The Bloody Angel November 2nd, 2010 10:40 PM

i like white ... but i guess i will take the deluxe version

Satoshi Ookami November 2nd, 2010 11:46 PM

Black is my favorite 'cause Reshiram is really awesome pokemon =)
And Black City is very nicely done as well.
I wanna try White as well to see the look of White Forest.

King Gumball November 3rd, 2010 12:14 AM

I will be getting both games for the first time as well. Because the version differences are much greater than in previous games, but also I want a game for all my event pokemon and a fun muck around game as well. Black will probs be my proper game.

PlatinumDude November 3rd, 2010 3:03 AM

I'll be getting both Black and White because I always get both versions of a Pokemon game and Reshiram and Zekrom are equally awesome. I'll be playing Black more often, though. I'm also looking forward to the third game (though I didn't vote for it in the poll).

ManhattanTheStarr November 3rd, 2010 3:18 AM

Wow, most people are getting both? O_o
Originally, I was gonna get White, because I liked Zekrom, White Forest looked better than Black City, and I wanted to have Iris as the last Gym Leader. But then I realized something... White's exclusives suck. T_T I don't like ANY of them.

But Black has Erufuun, Gochiruzeru, and Barujina. Those are three of some of my favorite Pokemon in this generation. So now I'm gonna get Black. And besides that, Reshiram's been growing on me. :P

Rucario November 3rd, 2010 3:28 AM

I'm getting Black. Reshiram looks much more appealing to me.

Germaniac November 3rd, 2010 4:25 AM

Third game, I always have 3rd game (Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum), It was better than the first 2

Helixros November 3rd, 2010 7:19 AM

I've always enjoyed the third game versions attached to the other two, like emerald and platinum and such, but I really would like to get all three anyways.

Member November 3rd, 2010 7:30 AM

Played White and it is pretty good. Getting Black when it comes out in English. The third game will probably be even better. Did not like Crystal compared to Silver, but Loved Emerald compared the Ruby.

Kyuu November 3rd, 2010 8:22 AM

I will get Black. Because I love Reshiram.:D

Kevin November 3rd, 2010 1:33 PM

Aw this should've been the 6th Poll. :x It's a nice topic. Anyways, I saw this thread before, so I'm guessing it died out. XD I'm getting all three~ n_n I'm buying B/W once they come out. Playing Black, since I like Reshiram more, and then wait a couple of months and play White, so I won't be tired and know everything already. xD Then like, a year later when the so-called Gray comes out, I'll get that also. =P

Perriechu November 3rd, 2010 1:43 PM

Who actually voted for the 3rd game. We know nothing about it >:

Anyway, I choose both because I like them both... :~: I did want White because of the Pokemon selection and White forest. That is the last time I don't order my own games >:

Blue Nocturne November 3rd, 2010 2:00 PM

I'm getting Pokemon White purely because of Souryuu City. I absolutely hate the version of it in Black from the music to the architecture, which reminds me of Esthar from Final Fantasy 8... which is not good; I spent about an hour searching for that Elnoyle. Anywho, I digress.

I prefer the look of White Forest over Black City, which is quite ugly. The only real downside of White for me is that I have to get Zekrom instead or Reshiram, but thats nothing a quick trade or cheat wont fix.

if anyone has any trouble deciding this image I made is for you

I'm getting white because of the white exclusives and mainly the white forest

austin00081 November 3rd, 2010 2:31 PM

So I got Black in Japanese, and I'm getting White when it comes to the US.

Can I just say that Black City is very disappointing considering you only fight 3-4 rotation battles once, and then there are ~5 NPC who you can battle once a day, and their Pokemon never change. Let's see, there's a Staraptor, Magnezone, an Electevire, and I can't remember the other few. But yeah... VERY DISAPPOINTING. For such a "big city" there are only 4 accessible houses with nothing interesting in them, and one big building that sells SOME battle items, where you battle the rotation battles.

Something tells me White Forestis just as bad, and you can only find Oddish and Magikarp...

SuperiorCat November 3rd, 2010 2:38 PM

I have Pokemon Black in Japanese.
I plan on getting Pokemon White in English.
And I will most likely get the third game too. o:

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire November 3rd, 2010 2:39 PM

I'm getting White as soon as it come out here in the states :)
I wanted it at first because...well I just thought it would be cooler than Black, and now I think I might have been right :D

インフェルノの津波 November 3rd, 2010 9:09 PM

White.

Because the list of Pokemon you can find in the White Forest via Serebii and the Highlink. The beauty of High School is that you can find countless people who like Pokemon

Zekrom

Much better version exclusives

And I am getting the third version as well, yep.

curiousnathan November 3rd, 2010 9:41 PM

I was going to orginally buy White but I remeber when I rushed buying Diamond and then Platinum came out and I was like; what the hell? So this time I am not going to let my addiction for pokemon take over. Imma be patient and wait for the third game to be released. Hopefully being tns better than the both of them.

Anyway, I personally find almost none of the exclusives worthwhile. The only White exclusive I even remotely care about is Zekrom anyway, so White Forest is the most decisive factor for me.

Andrut November 5th, 2010 7:47 AM

I got White already in September,a week after the release. I prefer it than Black because of the natural aesthetics,sadly i don't like version exclusives there. >_<
I don't care Reshiram is rather better than Zekrom. I rather don't like legendaries, especially the ones you HAVE to catch.
I'm not getting an English BW. I will get the third game when it comes out in English. That would be even more interesting.

AshPikastar November 5th, 2010 7:47 AM

I'm getting White version instead of Black. I was thinking about getting Black for Reshiram(Or however you spell it) but once I checked out Zekrom status and moves, I decided to get White Version instead. I like Zekrom better then Reshiram now.

Zebeedoo November 6th, 2010 9:42 AM

Hmmm, it's a hard choice really. I was planning on getting white, because I thought that Reshiram would of been in it rather than black. x_x Then I changed my mind and decided that I was going to get black for Reshiram. Now seeing version exclusives among other things, I feel I should get both. XDD;
