I'm surprised that more people voted for White as people normally go for the first came (Red, Gold, Sapphire, Fire Red, Diamond, Heart Gold) but I prefere White, so I will be getting Pokémon White.

I've been if-ing and but-ing for a while now, then I noticed them both up for Pre-order on Amazon and I just automatically did the 1-click buy now on Pokémon White... I suppose I have my answer then. I'll probably get Black a little bit later, after having had time to have done everything in White (I always do). Usually I check out the version exclusives (not the legendaries, just the regular Poke's) and decide if either has a Pokémon that I really want otherwise it's just which one has the cooler case.

...So is it the 4th March yet? ;)

I'll probably be getting White.
  • Doredia < - do want badly
  • Braviary < - also do want badly
  • I'm not really fond of the Legendary though but I can always trade I guess and get the other one.
  • White Forest :D
  • I love how Pokemon White is more like a natural theme. I'm not really loving the technological theme in Black

i will be getting both when they are released. i have them both in japanese already and love them. i will probably start with white just because i started with black when i played them in japanese. and i will definitely get the third game prob in both languages as well. (complete set ^_^)

Miluiel January 16th, 2011 2:59 PM

If I could afford it, I'd get both (or even all three). But since I can't afford that, I'll just go with white for the White Forest. ^_^

blue January 16th, 2011 3:18 PM

I will get White first then Black, then the third game.

Rawrinism January 17th, 2011 10:39 PM

I am going to get both. :D
I just love the white forest but I don't like black city. I like Reshiram but I don't like Zekrom. :p

Gl!tch January 17th, 2011 11:26 PM

Black. The legendary just looks cooler imo. I just wish the rest of the new gen pokemon looked good D:

olih January 19th, 2011 5:17 PM

I'm getting White, cos I think Zekrom looks awesome
Also, they're making a third game?

Speed January 19th, 2011 5:33 PM

I pre ordered Black, since I saw so many people are going to get White, and I prefer some of the exclusives in Black more. But I'll get White eventually.

Storm_has_formed January 19th, 2011 6:15 PM

I decided White, though it could change in a few minutes, and again in another few minutes -_-

Westie7 January 19th, 2011 6:42 PM

I'm picking White, at least for my main game.
I was going for Black originally, but then they revealed Zekrom and his awesomeness switched me over to White.
I also prefer Reunculus (Sp?) and Basurao Blue to Gothitelle and Red Stripe form. And Nageki, I like him too.

KurcioDurcio January 19th, 2011 9:58 PM

Black. dunno how just though of that first.

Pokemon Trainer Touko January 23rd, 2011 1:44 AM

I got both versions in Japanese and I think both of them are awesome!! I like White because of the triple battles and the White forest and I like Black because of Reshiram and Black city

Btw- How did u guys set ur signature as pokemon teams?
★ XD

TehPsychicTypeMaster January 24th, 2011 11:21 AM

I've preordered Black, a while ago. It just seems more appealing, and the legendary is cooler. I love the Technological theme for Black City and Souryuu City.

ゼクロム January 24th, 2011 12:44 PM

Pokemon White FTW. Pokemon Black's legendary is garbage, no offense.

cttooch January 27th, 2011 5:12 PM

i see a bunch of you said you are getting both. why get both aren't they the same game?sorry i'm still a beginner

KitKat13 January 28th, 2011 4:30 AM

I am going to get both, since sometimes my cousin is playing as well, so I could let him borrow the other. :) ..

Yes, they are basically the same, but there are a few version differences present.

One of them being Black City and White Forest which are present exclusively in Pokemon Black and White respectively. The mascots of the two games are also different; Reshiram and zekrom being two and there are several other version exclusive Pokemon as well.

These three links will provide you with in-depth details on the differences:

Zekrom rules IF theres a third(witch will earliest after Ruby remake)
I´ll "buy" play it to;)

Cherrim January 28th, 2011 10:04 AM

I already got Black and now I'll be getting White.

I was a little torn over which version to get. On the one hand, I always get the "first" game in the sets. (RED and blue, GOLD and silver, RUBY and sapphire, DIAMOND and pearl, etc.) On the other hand, I really disliked Reshiram and wanted to get Zekrom. xD; Luckily, I realized that didn't matter if I was going to import one of them and get the other in English. So that's exactly what I did. I pre-ordered Black in Japanese and now I've got my pre-order set for White in English. :) Problem solved!

MysticFlygon January 28th, 2011 7:34 PM

Like many other people, I'll be getting white because it has better version exclusives and I like Zekrom's type better than Reshiram's. I still might end up getting both and then all three like I did with Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.

kissing. raindrops January 28th, 2011 9:34 PM

I wanna get White, cause of White Forest, and the version exclusive Pokemon. :3

Alternative January 28th, 2011 9:47 PM

This is actually a hard decision for me. I want White for Seedbby, and I also want Black for Reshiram. I'm leaning towards Black though, as I can always get someone to trade me a Seedbby egg. :D

Backup January 28th, 2011 10:46 PM

I ended up preordering Black Version.

I'm not sure why, but White Forest didn't seem that appealing to me. Black City sounds interesting.

Though I like some of the version exclusives in White Version a bit better, I think that I'll be happy with Black. :)
