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.

Considering many people in "Black or White" are mentioning whether they're waiting for the third game or not, then it's best that this thread is merged with that one, otherwise having two threads to pretty much cover the same thing would be awkward.

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

It depends tbh, but for now we're just assuming there will be a third, which is why it's in the poll.

Razer302 March 10th, 2011 4:31 PM

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.

Keby March 10th, 2011 4:54 PM

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.

Heather March 10th, 2011 5:15 PM

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!

Heart Gold March 10th, 2011 5:35 PM

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 :/

Yusshin March 10th, 2011 7:45 PM

Black. The box looked better, and I like equally the same amount of exclusive Pokemon in both games.

King Gumball March 11th, 2011 2:36 AM

yeah so I bought White today. I will get Black later when I am finished with White :3

celestialwings92 March 11th, 2011 5:43 AM

I gots me White and im soooooooooooooooooo happy!!

Pennyroyal March 13th, 2011 3:11 AM

I got Black. :) My brother is getting White so I can steal things from him. :3

~Ryukaa March 13th, 2011 3:33 AM

★ 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?

travisjb1990 March 16th, 2011 4:08 AM

I got White version. I got it because I like Zekrom and I like all the version exclusives and White Forest.

Emurus March 16th, 2011 4:38 AM

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."

Rubanho March 16th, 2011 6:32 AM

My friend bought white, So I bought black :)

Arma March 16th, 2011 6:39 AM

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.

EJ March 16th, 2011 7:20 AM

I got White but I'm getting Black later for exclusives and such. :J

Hikamaru March 22nd, 2011 5:04 AM

I'm getting Black 'cos my brother wants White (he likes White Forest.) So basically more battles for me and more collecting for him.

tjb90 March 22nd, 2011 6:07 AM

I chose White because of Zekrom and all the cool version exclusive Pokemon and the more natural places.

danno 507 March 25th, 2011 11:35 AM

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

The Nightmare March 25th, 2011 4:19 PM

Is the third game real or fake?.

Shining Raichu March 25th, 2011 4:22 PM

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
