Pokemon X or Y?
 
Which version will you be getting?

Ho-Oh January 8th, 2013 4:18 AM

I'm getting both! ...I think. Well, maybe. I'm defs making X as my main game tho because X is a much nicer letter than Y (yes, I'm a weirdo).

Aryan143 January 8th, 2013 4:19 AM

I will be getting Pokemon X version because X sounds to be cool and I have always played the first version before the second.

Ω Ruby and α Sapphire January 8th, 2013 4:20 AM

It's too early for me to say. We dot even know version differences and we've barely had any looks at th legendaries. But I'd have to say X at this point, cause it sounds cooler, and there won't be stupid memes made out of the name.

blue January 8th, 2013 4:20 AM

I much prefer X to Y for some reason and I prefer Blue to Red so I'm pretty sure I'll be getting X first shortly followed by Y. I still can't get used to the names yet!

SolarAbusoru January 8th, 2013 4:21 AM

I don't know, both legendaries look absolutely boss, so hard choice

Guy January 8th, 2013 4:22 AM

It all depends on the differences between each version and the version exclusives.

So far I'm leaning towards Pokémon X, simply because I really like the legendary elk/deer Pokémon.

professor plum January 8th, 2013 4:24 AM

I'll be getting both, but playing one at a time as my boyfriend plays the opposite version. This is what we did with B/W2 and it worked well :3

Jeremy January 8th, 2013 4:25 AM

Well sweeties, I'm getting X, for in the words of Bender the Magnificent, "The X makes it sound cool!"

Seriously though, I might just get both.

Retro Bug January 8th, 2013 4:26 AM

I'm getting both, like I always do, but I'm definitely leaning more towards X for my main game just because I prefer its legendary even though I prefer Red over Blue. Who knows I have plenty of time to change my mind or not.

X and Y are not the actual Pokemon names, just nicknames, their official names have not been revealed yet.

With the legendaries being shaped like the letters 'X' and 'Y' I would think otherwise..

Goblinaro January 8th, 2013 4:42 AM

I usually pick whatever color I like better, but that's not an option now, so I'll probably toss a coin when I go to pre-order....

Kotowari January 8th, 2013 4:43 AM

The starter letters of their names might be "X" and "Y", at least, I think that'd be nice.

But as to what version I'm going to choose? It's too early to tell, but solely based on the legendaries' design, it's X. I just love the deer more than the bird. But I like 'm both, though. <3

xRekke January 8th, 2013 4:48 AM

Pokemon Y! Because the mascot look way more cooler ~

Seth Rollins January 8th, 2013 6:09 AM

I really don't care which version I get, they both look phenominal. But in my opinion, version Y's legendary looks way more cooler than X's. But that doesn't mean I'm getting Y, even if I see X, I'm buying it.

Lockmaster24 January 8th, 2013 6:12 AM

Which ever one has the Dragon Bird thingy, I think that's Y but I dunno.

Zet January 8th, 2013 6:42 AM

I'll be getting Y version so I can say: "Y am I buying this?".

Correspondence January 8th, 2013 7:20 AM

Hmm..X or Y..i might get both or i think i'll decide when further details are released.

Kikaito plush January 8th, 2013 7:49 AM

*C Talli posts*

I'll first have to get my 3DS fixedm but I think I'll get pokemon Y If I can find it.

tabor62 January 8th, 2013 8:22 AM

I usually buy my Pokemon main series games based off if the title and X just sounds better in my opinion. So I'm getting X rather than Y.

Perico January 8th, 2013 8:25 AM

I think that if I don't get both of them, I'll definitely get Pokemon X because saying the letter "Y" in Spanish is everything but comfortable. So yes, I'd be getting only X because of how they're read in Spanish.

Princess Diana January 8th, 2013 8:28 AM

From name alone it'll be X.

dieter57 January 8th, 2013 8:36 AM

I'll probably go with Pokemon Y because I love the look of that smexy bird-dragon-demon-sky monster! I want him so badly...

Sheep January 8th, 2013 9:15 AM

Pokemon X since blue's better than red aha. xD; Plus I like the blue legendary a little bit more!

Autaven January 8th, 2013 9:22 AM

When I first saw the name I thought that it was meaning gender - like X(X) for female and Y(X) for male! So I was leaning towards X as it is.. but I much prefer the X legendary so I'll be jumping on that bandwagon probably :)

Perico January 8th, 2013 9:34 AM

I thought the same the first time I saw the names. But it seems that it has to do with the legendaries' shape.

Although the red dragon it's amazing and I like it a lot, I must admit that the blue elk just looks majestic. I think (and hope) I'll buy both :P

Lateon January 8th, 2013 9:36 AM

Both. I always get both versions, I use one as my "main" and another as the one I can restart and play

Sabrewulf238 January 8th, 2013 10:29 AM

Hard to say without knowing exclusives.

I have had a tendency in the past to go for the second game so right now I'm voting Pokemon Y.

☆aqua☆ January 8th, 2013 10:32 AM

Squirtle is going to wait until more info is released about version differences :-)

SaniOKh January 8th, 2013 10:44 AM

I'm definitely buying both. I know from past experience that when I buy one game, I end up wanting the other one too, so... yeah :) .

Melinda January 8th, 2013 10:45 AM

I always buy both. I can't buy one without getting the other. It just feels wrong. :x

Leikaru January 8th, 2013 11:19 AM

Y all the way. Since I like the Legendary mascot. That looks amazing. Also, I think that Y could have some pretty decent Version Exclusives. Just my personal view.

Emrald January 8th, 2013 11:23 AM

I can't choose. Both look so Awesome, especially the Legendaries.

Maybe, I might get both this time around.

Rivvon January 8th, 2013 11:23 AM

Since the only thing we can base this on right now is the legendaries, and the X-eyed elk ends up being X's mascot, I will probably end up getting X.

Nick January 8th, 2013 11:29 AM

Judging by both of the legendaries, I'm going to be getting both. I don't have a preference between the two, and I usually end up getting both games anyway.

same here because i wanna know what each one has in the game because usually different pokemon and towns are in each game.

Brendino January 8th, 2013 1:13 PM

Assuming that X is going to be the more popular of the 2 games, I'll probably end up getting Y. But, that's really just from name alone. Once we truly start finding out more about the games and their differences, I may change my opinion on that.

Sydian January 8th, 2013 2:28 PM

As with any new pair of games, I'll be getting both and a third copy later so that I can have a storage game. Usually the third one I purchase is the one I prefer the most of the two.

Firox January 8th, 2013 2:49 PM

For me, I'll have to wait on the poll, and find out what the version exclusives will be. I want to buy the game that will feature the majority of my favorite Pokemon, including future gen 6 favorites.

Altix January 8th, 2013 5:13 PM

I love that elk. My first impression is that I need pokemon X. It looks so cool. the 3d is going to be great. This generation looks awesome.

Miss Doronjo January 8th, 2013 5:15 PM

It's kind of hard to chose~ Probably Y because I love that legendary, but I'd may end up with both versions too. @[email protected]

vaporeon7 January 8th, 2013 5:18 PM

I'll get both but it depends on the version exclusives on which becomes my main game.

Meganium January 8th, 2013 5:49 PM

It's tempting to get both, but I would rather wait later in the year to find out the version exclusive Pokemon. More likely I'll get Y instead of X, I have this pattern where I get the 2nd version of the games. xD

curiousnathan January 8th, 2013 5:55 PM

I haven't decided as of yet. Until more information is released about the version differences/exclusives, I'll be getting neither or both.

Captain Gizmo January 8th, 2013 5:59 PM

Definitely going with Pokemon Y. The legendary that appears in the Pokemon Y seems too cool and as for Pokemon X, I don't really like quadruped Pokemon, so this is pretty easy for me :P

PhoenixWright77 January 8th, 2013 6:03 PM

Pokemon Y all the way for me! The Mascot looks better to me and I like playing the version that other people don't seem to want to play as much!

iRyahn January 8th, 2013 6:33 PM

Based on what we know so far, i'd probably pick Y. Generally I don't like to use legendaries at all and find a large majority of them ugly, but both of the ones shown actually look pretty boss.

pikakitten January 10th, 2013 1:19 AM

X seems cooler to me in the sense that it's not a dragon and you can see it, I might choose Y once I can see past the red glow xD

Platinum Lucario January 10th, 2013 1:33 AM

I'll be getting both Pokémon X and Y. 'Cause who knows what version exclusive stuff would await in those games? I would be absolutely amazed, I've always bought both versions of Pokémon games in my life, so I'm definitely getting both X and Y. ^^

BLOOOD-La-ti- January 10th, 2013 1:35 AM

I'll get both of them,
but I'll get X first,cuz Y is probably like White,so....
X first!

Mujahid January 10th, 2013 1:48 AM

Depend on Version Exclusives and/or Aesthetic differences between the two.

Olli January 10th, 2013 1:55 AM

Well, if I manage to get a 3DS in time, I'll be getting Y, mainly because I think the version legendary looks extremely cool (considering it isn't the opposites we'll be getting, which has happened before), but also because Ozzy was quick to say he wanted X, and I want the opposite version of his :p

Volcanix769 January 10th, 2013 4:18 AM

Y. Y is my chromosome and that I pretty much wanted to do Y. I mostly did opposites of the first game in hand (like Sapphire rather than Ruby, LeafGreen rather than FireRed, Pearl rather than Diamond, though I chose Black instead of white), but I wanted to do Y.

Starry Windy January 10th, 2013 4:52 AM

If I get a 3DS, I'll choose Pokemon X because of Xerneas.

blue January 10th, 2013 10:18 AM

Imagine if they introduced two Eeveelutions but as Version Exclusives, so if you had Y you could go to a specific area that evolves Eevee into say a Poison type Eeveelution and if you had X you could go to a different specific area which triggers an evolution into a Flying type Eeveelution. I know it's unlikely but it would be new.

What makes you make this comparison? I'm curious. :)

Bounsweet January 10th, 2013 12:29 PM

X, for sure. Version exclusives used to be the tiebreaker for me but they don't matter as I have a little clique of friends both online and offline who usually get a mix of the two, so they'll be available somehow c:

I doubt you played B2W2, Elgyem, if you think post-game is not difficult or expansive LOL.


Eucliffe January 10th, 2013 12:46 PM

I'll definitely be getting both, and I'll try getting them at the same time like I did with BW and BW2. I'll probably start X before Y, though.

HaiImNate January 20th, 2013 9:41 PM

I will be purchasing both titles! :)

Hikamaru January 20th, 2013 9:49 PM

I'll get both games, but my main version will be decided by the version exclusives.

Victini January 20th, 2013 10:08 PM

I'm really leaning towards X version for the moment because of Xerneas...

... Buuut if it turns out that the version exclusives cause me to lean towards Y, I am totally okay with that. Yveltal is really amazing too. >w>

sρεcтяα January 20th, 2013 11:12 PM

I'll get both, and I'll probably make Y the version in which I get everything and treat it like a storage unit, because at the moment X appeals to me more, because I slightly prefer Xerneas' design. I'll get Y first and probably get X for Christmas, though...to be honest, it depends on my funds at the time, and whether or not I have a second 3DS by that point (I have been meaning to get an XL, and these games provide me with a convenient excuse to) and whether or not my mother wants to play one of them...if she does, I'll play X instead, and it's doubtful I'll ever play Y.

Urugamosu January 23rd, 2013 2:22 AM

I'm getting X, simply because I like Xerneas, and it looks like it will be a more, traditional type of game.

seishiro-san January 24th, 2013 2:48 AM

I am more towards the Y version. As for now, the only reason for choosing Y, is because Yveltal certainly knows how to make a fantastic first impression.

Synerjee January 24th, 2013 2:58 AM

Pokemon X. There already are too many flying dragon-like legendaries. A deer Pokemon will be a fresh change. Xerneas all the way! (Y)

Seki January 24th, 2013 3:50 AM

I can't make my mind right now though, both Legendaries look so badass. I shall see the version exclusives before I make this choice.

Seth Rollins January 24th, 2013 6:32 AM

Yveltal looks cooler. A flying dragon type is better than a...dunno, a grass or water type? Lol. That's my opinion tho.

Latios Master January 24th, 2013 11:36 AM

Right now I'm planning on getting X. It's one of favorite letters, and blue is my favorite color. I'm not a big fan of either legendary, but I think the one from X looks slightly cooler, and it's a fresh change, as mentioned before. My choice could change depending on the version exclusives. Only once did my choice change after finding out about the version exclusives, and that was during gen 3 when I switched from Sapphire to Ruby when I found out Latios was exclusive to Ruby, if you don't count the Eon Ticket. In the end I ended up getting both. I bought Sapphire a few months after Ruby. Gen 3 is the only time that I've bought both games. I will hold off voting until I'm 100% sure which one I'm getting.

legoDSdude January 24th, 2013 6:03 PM

i m gonna get y cuz yveltal looks cooler

Astinus January 24th, 2013 11:41 PM

I might be getting both in the long run. It depends on what my friends get and how often we can get together to trade and everything. But I'm first getting Y. The mascot is my favorite one out of the two. Though my opinion might change once possible version exclusives are revealed.

PokéZoom January 25th, 2013 4:20 AM

I'm going with X.
Yveltal looks really awesome, but I really like the letter X.

Theory_ January 26th, 2013 7:51 AM

X
The letter X sounds so much better than Y.

satotaku January 26th, 2013 8:35 AM

Pokemon X and my starter will be froakie.

Gyardosamped January 26th, 2013 8:39 AM

I'm going to be buying Pokemon X, and there's really no reason behind the decision. I just like the name better.

This is my main reason haha.

Plus I prefer Xerneas over Yveltal...can't explain it either.

Crystal Noel January 27th, 2013 10:14 AM

Judging by the legendary I am getting Y

Mark Kamill January 27th, 2013 10:27 AM

I'm getting both. Best part is that if they go digital, I can have my main being digital, and my optional for exclusives being the one I bought retail.

xxReshiramxx January 27th, 2013 2:32 PM

I'll be getting both X and Y. Both of the legendary Pokemon look really cool and I always get both versions anyway.

Lucifer January 27th, 2013 2:32 PM

Unfortunately I won't be able to play either game as I don't have a 3DS and do not plan to get one solely for one game. I am not made of money and my DS lite still performs fine even at it's pretty old age. I also am not a fan of 3D. Waste of money and terrible for your eyes.

The fire starter however is adorable! If indeed that is what the unfamiliar yellow fox pokemon I have recently seen is. I would love to have it.

TheRiddler January 28th, 2013 3:45 PM

I feel like I need to see more pokemon for each game before I make a decision

Frost Mage January 28th, 2013 4:05 PM

Y because of Yveltal, and because I usually play the "secondary" Pokemon game when they come out. (i.e. Pearl, White, etc.)

JokerBen January 28th, 2013 4:07 PM

None. They don't appeal to me. Thats my opinion, if you guys disagree, then do so.

charcharx3 January 28th, 2013 4:24 PM

I shall be getting X because I want that deer legendary!

Hopefully they don't do a switch like Black/White. I bought white because I wanted Reshiram, but of course, I got Zekrom.

Next time, I bought black 2 so I'd get Reshiram. -facepalm- Of course, you get the other legendary. I'm researching my games before I buy them from now on.

We've barely seen any information and you're already deciding they don't appeal to you? It seems a bit soon to be coming to that conclusion lol.

Anyway, I think it's too early for me to decide what game I'd get but based on the little we know, I would be inclined to go with X because I adore Xerneas.

Clemstar January 28th, 2013 4:30 PM

At the moment, the only version exclusive things to be revealed are the legendaries and I personally prefer Yvetal or however you spell him... so at this point, Pokemon Y.

PoisonEmeralds January 28th, 2013 4:58 PM

Y because Yveltal. XD I think Xerneas looks quite odd but that's just my opinion c:

Xander Olivieri January 28th, 2013 7:21 PM

For my first. My brother already called dibs on X so that means I'm getting Y. Which is funny since my brother has always gotten the red game when it was available. XD

Red/Blue, He got red, I got blue.
Ruby/Sapphire, He got Ruby, I got Sapphire.
Fire Red/Leaf Green, He got Fire Red, I got Leaf Green.

Now he wants the blue game Pokemon X XD

Schwan January 28th, 2013 8:26 PM

I'm getting Y because I normally get the second named game.

Ace. January 29th, 2013 12:12 AM

Idk, what to buy for now, But I prefer Xerneas so probably X. Don't have a stable decision since I don't know the version differences and all those other stuff. I'll wait until a month before the release before I decide what I'll get :3

SoulSilver10112 January 30th, 2013 4:42 PM

I'll be preordering Y, but most likely, I will get both on the day it comes out.

zdude18 January 31st, 2013 8:19 PM

X or Y?
 
i know theres not enough info at this point to for sure make a decision but which are you leaning towards getting?

Tielur January 31st, 2013 11:34 PM

I'm kinda shocked more people seem to be voting X. (not a bad thing) Personally I have never really liked any of the deer pokemon. Birds are way cooler in my opinion, so ill be getting Y and then maybe x but not till i can pick it up second hand.

SolarAbusoru February 1st, 2013 4:46 AM

Getting Y, Y you may ask, because of Yveltal that's Y

Drgons90 February 1st, 2013 5:09 AM

Y, those wings of the legendary look awsome. I don't see anything powerful about a deer(my opinion).

Mithel_Celestia February 1st, 2013 5:37 AM

I'll probably pick X. As awesome as Yveltal looks and sounds, I always choose the slightly more dominant version(which is usually the version first mentioned in the pair.) like how I always have been doing in the previous generations(FireRed, Diamond, Black, Black 2), except for some few (Sapphire and SoulSilver). It seems more comforting for me.

Plusleminun February 4th, 2013 10:06 AM

Y, because it's legendary looks more boss.

Angelroid February 4th, 2013 10:53 AM

I am getting X first and then maybe Y later on.

Cordelia February 4th, 2013 11:01 AM

I am getting Y first then I might get X sometime later. I like Y's legendary a bit more n_n

Pichu02 February 4th, 2013 11:20 AM

I want Y for two reasons: 1. I think Y is a cooler letter than X. 2. I like Yvetal better than Xerneas.
