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.

BBA_Beyblader_321 February 28th, 2011 8:35 PM

I'm gonna get Black..... But I REALLY want Wargle!!!!!!!!!! >_<

axman11224 February 28th, 2011 8:49 PM

I think I'll get White, just cause I think Zekrom is awesome. Awesomely boring and generic reason, I know, but it works!

Venomoth Z February 28th, 2011 8:50 PM

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

Kninj March 1st, 2011 12:14 PM

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

Well it will be quite some time before the third game will be released, if it ever is made in the first place XD But I am betting both. Not straight away but I will get both games.

remember, i could trade you one over wifi.


and also, why do people seem to bash zekrom so much. He is so much cooler then reshiram

Lando81 March 1st, 2011 3:33 PM

I'll be picking up White and then The Ruby Remake next year and then Grey after that.

Superjub March 2nd, 2011 12:47 PM

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!

miley810 March 2nd, 2011 1:35 PM

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

lamby101 March 2nd, 2011 2:00 PM

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 :)

DuskBlader March 2nd, 2011 4:13 PM

I've got to go with Pokemon White! Can't wait for the White Forest and the exclusives for this game!

miley810 March 2nd, 2011 4:21 PM

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.

WolfAlchemist March 2nd, 2011 4:28 PM

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.

blue March 3rd, 2011 10:42 AM

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

skyluigi2 March 3rd, 2011 10:46 AM

Hehehe...
I'll be playing White this time tomorrow.
But I'll have been playing for about five minutes xD

.Aero March 3rd, 2011 11:01 AM

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. :]

Zvezda March 4th, 2011 9:40 AM

I picked Black for Reshiram. <3 It will arrive tomorrow! :D

silvanarrow March 4th, 2011 9:57 AM

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.

iSoul March 4th, 2011 10:29 AM

I will get all three over time, but the first one I am getting Black.

Giraffe March 4th, 2011 11:39 AM

I got Black today! Reshiram is epicness.

~RNC~ March 6th, 2011 9:32 PM

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!! :)
