Which Version are you getting
 
I am quite torn between them so I think I'll just buy both. I like everything in pokemon y except that it doesnt get mega charizard x. So i guess ill try to find a way to self trade.

HUF_DBC October 7th, 2013 6:18 PM

I am going to get Pokemon Y. I like Yveltal a tad bit more than Xerneas, and I like the mega exclusives more than the X exclusives. Mega Charizard Y is so COOL!

Texmac3 October 7th, 2013 6:18 PM

Im going to buy Pokemon X

crystalzapdos October 7th, 2013 6:21 PM

Going with Y, mainly because of Yveltal. I also like Mega Charzard Y and Mega Mewtwo Y better then the X counterparts.

CBBXD October 7th, 2013 6:22 PM

Pokémon Y I like the Legendary better

xseed October 7th, 2013 6:37 PM

going with pokemon x. I love xereneas. so dogone majestic. plus I am planning on making a mono fairy team post game anyway so wynaut lol
(it feels so awkward to be the only one getting x version so far lol )

DelphinusVyse October 7th, 2013 6:45 PM

I'm getting X for now, and I may get Y later on if/when I decide to do a replay. This time around I could just upload to Pokemon Bank and start a new file on the same game too, which is nice.

Aeroblast October 7th, 2013 6:49 PM

I'm not sure. I might actually wait for whatever comes after, unless hype gets me.

Hikamaru October 7th, 2013 6:49 PM

I'll most likely get both but I might play X more because I love Xerneas.

_ANDY_ October 7th, 2013 6:51 PM

Nice avatar :D
And I'll be getting Y

Lol Luxray ftw you too :p

hiff8 October 7th, 2013 6:58 PM

Y, I made the decision waaaayy bacck when it was first available for reservation. I almost switched it but I decieded that I like Yvental (Plus the five dollar switch fee), more then I liked mega Charizard X

Altair October 7th, 2013 7:01 PM

I'll be getting both, I always go for all versions. ;D

jazneo October 7th, 2013 7:11 PM

i get x for Charizard mega stone for fire/dragon

Entermaid October 7th, 2013 7:16 PM

I will be going with Y!

Skrelp line >>>>>>>> Clauncher line

Spritzee < Swirlix

Aromatisse > Slurpuff

Yveltal = Xerneas (I don't use legendaries anyway)

TRGrunt October 7th, 2013 7:29 PM

I've already preordered Pokemon X, I think Xerneas looks cooler than Yvental.

Tsutarja October 7th, 2013 7:32 PM

I'll be getting Y Version, simply because of Yveltal, and I'm sticking with my decision because of the option to get the X Mega evolutions into the game by trade.. and it's also too late as well since I had already pre-ordered (and payed off) Y version a few months ago :P

RoreyG October 7th, 2013 8:27 PM

I'm getting a refurbished copy of Red Version......OK, OK I'm kidding.

Y version because I can get the most use out of Mega Charizard Y. However, I'd be lying if I said I didn't love the fan- service we're getting with Mega Charizard X.

Wobbu October 7th, 2013 8:39 PM

My perception of the two versions:

Skrelp > Clauncher
Spritzee > Swirlix
Aromatisse > Slurpluff
Mega Charizard Y < Mega Charizard X
Mega Mewtwo Y < Mega Mewtwo X
Yveltal < Xerneas

I'm going with X Version but I really want Skrelp. I'm hoping that there will be an in-game trade like Cottonee/Petilil from the Gen. 5 games. Xerneas is my reason for choosing X, I prefer it over Yveltal.

Fiza October 8th, 2013 2:02 AM

Was planning on Y but now with Mega Charizard in version X I'm torn. Might get both....

Kikaito plush October 8th, 2013 2:35 AM

I will be getting X and my husband will Y so we can try out all the mega and other version pokemon.

Firox October 8th, 2013 2:39 AM

I preordered both games, so I know I'm getting the two. Have not decided which one I'll play first. I'm hoping the Pokemon I want [Litleo, Helioptile, Chespin] are catchable in both games. Legendary and Mega-Evo won't apply to me, so doesn't matter which version I'll start in. Depends on the version exclusives for the rest of the team..

PeskyJoltik October 8th, 2013 3:18 AM

I cant really decide! If i choose Pokemon X, then i will miss the Mega Evolution of Charizard, and if I get Y, still the same! I cant darn choose! Both Mega Evolutions are Epic, but I can only choose 1 version! But i much like the Pokemon Y Mega Evolution of Charizard.. I really cant decide! Or... or... nah! This is a really really hard choice to make!

Suicune October 8th, 2013 3:28 AM

I'll be getting Pokémon X while my brother receives Pokémon Y; at first I did want Y for Yveltal, but I started to lighten up to Xerneas surprisingly late with my obsession over (rein)deers. There was also the gene reference my brother liked to follow and X would match my 3DS.

Faye Rose~ October 8th, 2013 4:50 AM

Y first and then possibly X at a later date.

.Wolfie-kun. October 8th, 2013 5:35 AM

I'm incredibly torn even now, I prefer Yveltal over Xerneas, which was why I was originally planning on getting Y, but since they announced MegaMewtwo X and MegaCharizard X I've been incredibly torn. I really need help with this!

Emfg October 8th, 2013 5:35 AM

Pokemon Y. Even though I prefer clauncher to its counterpart, the counterpart's evolution does look INSANELY epic (the seahorse pokemon). I also like Yveltal a lot more.

Also prefer MCharizard Y and MMewtwo Y. Although I'd be lying MCharizard X does look freaking bad ass.. Then again, MCharizard X is party dragon, which with the new addition of the fairy type is underwhelming compared to MCharizard Y ;P

I'm quite surprised by the vote results atm. I thought like 90% of the people would be going for Pokemon X simply 'cuz MCharizard X xD

I feel you. I love yveltal but I need that mega charizard x. so I think ill self trade using the gts and I'll get both games.

Princess Diana October 8th, 2013 7:31 AM

Surprised that so many people are getting Y: almost everybody I know in real life is getting X (including me!).

Starry Windy October 8th, 2013 8:11 AM

I prefer Pokemon X because of Xerneas, and because the Mega Evolutions in Pokemon X seems cooler.

Loki Laufeyson October 8th, 2013 9:17 AM

I'm getting the Y version, only because of Yveltal.

CoffeeDrink October 8th, 2013 10:51 AM

Both, koff~

And with that Pokemon Bank, nothing will be beyond my reach. I just hope we can transfer items to the thing. Oh well. With this game there is no choice for me. Both. Both is good, koffi~

Angelroid October 8th, 2013 11:12 AM

I'll be getting X on the 12th.

Annataz October 8th, 2013 11:40 AM

I really wanted to just get Y. But then, when I was about to check out on Amazon, I noticed that I also had X in my cart. I meant to delete it, but I was somehow compelled to click the Complete Order button instead. Once it went through, I thought, "Well, it's out of my hands now. There's nothing I can do about it."

So now I'm getting both. Y is going to be my main version, though.

Whitney's Shaymin October 8th, 2013 11:44 AM

I'm all for Y but probably during christmas I'm going to get X!

Draqonite October 8th, 2013 12:29 PM

Getting Y mainly because of Yveltal and Skrelp

Squirrel October 8th, 2013 2:54 PM

X! I don't remember why but there was probably something I liked the look of in it haha. Kind of regret it because I adore Skrelp's evolution and they're exclusive to Y, but I'm sure X has some cool stuff too. Not a big fan of Clauncher's line but Swirlix is a cutie and Xerneas is pretty so I'm happy enough - I'll just get my boyfriend with Y to trade over a Skrelp for my time.

François October 8th, 2013 3:32 PM

I've pre-ordered Y. Yveltal and Xerneas are both amazing but I prefer the exclusives to Y - I actually much prefer MegaMewtwo Y and MegaCharizard Y to their X twins. Admittedly I made the decision before Spritzee's evolution turned out to be rubbish but alas, I am cursed to never cancel a pre-order!

Life October 8th, 2013 6:51 PM

I'm getting X since my friends are getting Y so we'll be able to trade over exclusives. Plus Charizard X and Mewtwo X looks better. That and I also go with the first version of every generation (Ruby, FireRed, Diamond, HeartGold, Black).

Sirfetch’d October 8th, 2013 11:59 PM

I decided to go with X version! Both are great however, I just really prefer Xerneas because of how beautiful it is. I do kinda hate that Skrelp won't appear in X, but I'll just get someone to trade me one for a Clauncher. I'll probably end up getting Y sometime shorty after anyways.

Cataclysmic October 9th, 2013 1:05 AM

I'm planning on following through with my preorder and getting X this Saturday. I want both eventually, but I was immediately drawn to Xerneas more than Yveltal, and I'm more drawn to the life theme than I am to destruction - despite my username, lol. There are certain version exclusives I want in Y (Skrelp!), but that's what trading is for.

Zorogami October 9th, 2013 1:08 AM

I was rooting all the way for Pokemon Y since we got to see Yveltal!! Now that Charizard X and Mewtwo X have been revealed i´m leaning more towards that version...but since i ordered both, who cares! :D

TearsOfNightfall October 9th, 2013 3:49 AM

I'm getting both, but I'm planning to main Y since I prefer the exclusives just slightly, especially the Skrelp line. I'll mostly mess around with X at work.

blue October 9th, 2013 4:41 AM

Pokémon X, I've decided that from the very beginning and I'm sticking with that decision ofc!

I'll eventually get Pokémon Y too since these appear to be the best Pokémon games for years! ;D

Guy October 9th, 2013 12:09 PM

Both, except I'll be playing Y while my sister has X.

Pickle-Spaghetti October 9th, 2013 3:33 PM

Pokemon Y. Ylveltal looks absolutely AMAZING. But Mega Charizard X looks incredible too. Yeah I was thinking of changing my mind, but no I'll just get Y.

Aaron40 October 9th, 2013 3:41 PM

I'm getting Pokemon X but I will get Y a few weeks later, whats the Mega Exclusives for Y?

Spongey October 9th, 2013 8:05 PM

Im getting X. I'm Choosing Squirtle and Chespin. Then I'm getting the free Torchic at gamestop.

I think the Torchic is on WiFi worldwide and not at gamestop.

ISA56 2.0 October 10th, 2013 10:20 AM

Although Charizard and Mewtwo X are both incredibly cool, I don't mind losing them for more Special-oriented Mega Evolutions and what is essentially the Grim Reaper in Pokemon form. So Y it is!

MudkipBoy October 10th, 2013 10:41 AM

I'm actually surprised, thought x was more popular (but woo X all the way!) Purely for mewtwo

Lugia16 October 10th, 2013 10:42 AM

im getting both versions.

Rainecho October 10th, 2013 10:45 AM

Hmm...what if I just wait 'till 3DS emulators finally come and get me some free games? I guess I can keep dreaming.

Thurea October 10th, 2013 2:39 PM

X.
Decided by a coin flip from my Lugia TCG coin.

MarinoKadame October 10th, 2013 2:40 PM

Seems even EB Games don't deliver on weekend and holiday... Guess I will need to check in a store if I want it before the 15.

Imperator161 October 10th, 2013 2:49 PM

I'm going to get both games, as I enjoy being able to play through two save files. I also like trading with myself, though I only have one 3DS, so I won't be able to move Pokémon back and forth between my files until the Pokémon Bank comes out in December (or until I find another 3DS to use). At this point, I'm leaning towards making X my main game (mainly because I like the letter X better than Y, like the blue coloring on the logo better than red, and really don't have a strong feeling about the version exclusives/don't know that many of them). I'll probably start X this weekend and then start Y sometime after that.

Latios Master October 10th, 2013 6:30 PM

X, which has been my preference since the games were announced. I prefer Xerneas over Yveltal.

Segara October 10th, 2013 8:32 PM

I will get X because Xernea is a bad *****. :3

alolan vulpix October 10th, 2013 10:19 PM

I'm buying X release day, and getting Y for my birthday four days later. CX

Brendino October 10th, 2013 10:38 PM

Since the announcement I planned on getting Y, in part due to liking Yveltal more than Xerneas. I haven't been following much X/Y news since, so only time will tell if I decided to pick up X, too.

Melinda October 11th, 2013 8:28 AM

I'm getting both version, but X will be my main version.

Because Xerneas. :D

Sir Codin October 11th, 2013 8:59 AM

I'm getting Y because Y not?

IHeartCamerupt October 12th, 2013 2:40 PM

I got X, and my husband got Y. I really like Xerneas:)

Detective Prince October 12th, 2013 2:41 PM

I got X because I preferred Xerneas. And now that I have Xerneas, I'm definitely happy with my choice.

Splintey October 22nd, 2013 6:21 PM

Is It Worth It?
 
To buy a 3ds for just X or Y? If so which version appears better?

Snoopy October 22nd, 2013 6:22 PM

In my opinion, it's very worth it. I have Y because I like Yveltal better than Xerneas, but there are just my opinions.

HairyLoco October 22nd, 2013 6:28 PM

I've bought my 3DS last year, in anticipation of Pokémon XY.
I can only say: very worth. Haven't regretted it a single moment.
Besides, the 3DS in itself is actually very cool, I loved playing in 3D. It's something I hope they will always stick with.

Also don't let people discourage you with: "I played for 10 minutes and got a massive headache!" They are doing it wrong. I can play for hours on end, one day I had a 12 hour session and nothing. Not even irritation in my eyes or anything.

Skalla October 22nd, 2013 6:38 PM

Which version all comes down to personal preference of Pokemon. Personally I like Y a bit better because it has more exclusive Pokemon I like. But it doesn't really matter.

The 3DS also has like 100 other fantastic games to play, so it defiantly is worth it.

jazneo October 22nd, 2013 6:40 PM

i bought 3ds just for pokemon X when was announce

Splintey October 22nd, 2013 6:40 PM

Besides Mario and Animal Crossing any suggestions? And wheres a good cheap spot I can pick up a 3ds?

Skalla October 22nd, 2013 6:43 PM

Kid Icarus Uprising, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance and Fire Emblem Awakening are some pretty good ones.

You could probably buy a 2DS cheap because its only 120 dollars. Standards 3DSes new are about 260 I think.

HairyLoco October 22nd, 2013 6:43 PM

Something that's been suggested to me quite often is Fire Emblem. Me being me I still have no idea what it is or what it's like, but I'm just spreading the word.

WingedDragon October 22nd, 2013 6:45 PM

If you are solely getting 3Ds for X/Y I dont think it be worth it honestly, however there are other games that are worth it. People above have posted what Id recommend

Water Gym Leader October 22nd, 2013 6:46 PM

Get Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds. Very Fun Game

Vanish October 22nd, 2013 7:35 PM

If you enjoy a challenge, I'd pick up Shin Megami Tensei IV. Hell of a game.

sir_flying October 22nd, 2013 7:48 PM

i think its worth it because of how accessible the game is. the moment you pick it and everything that you want to do in a pokemon game happens so quickly. you can breed soon you get a second stater right off the bat. and there are so many new features to the game that just make it fun. its been criticized as being too easy or not enough story but the games are centerd around raising pokemon and this game makes that easier and more fun than any of its predecessors. if youre a fan of raising pokemon this is for sure worth it. if you, for some odd reason, are looking to play through a long story and lengthy after game exclusively and are not so interested in the 450+ pokemon available to you then maybe you shouldnt. there are also so many big 3ds releases on the horizon such as super smash bros that youre going to ask your self this question again sooner or later and in my opinion you should buy it now because of this awesome game and future releases to come.

Ig Pokemon Lover October 22nd, 2013 7:50 PM

Yes it is Best Pokemon games i played.

Molts October 22nd, 2013 9:12 PM

If you bought a DS for Diamond/Pearl/HG/SS/BW, then it only makes sense you should get a 3DS for XY, and all future 3ds pokemon games. Though its up to you and your econimic situation, and the investment you feel would be worth. Pokemon is awesome, ovbiously, and you'll hear plenty of praise here, and millions have bought a 3ds just for x/y. I would recommend it, plus there's lot of awesome games for 3ds, (luigi's mansion, mario kart, monster hunter to name a few)

MetalxTongue October 22nd, 2013 9:45 PM

Totally worth it! I bought a 3DS for Pokemon x and y. You will not be disappointed. :)

Azire October 22nd, 2013 11:19 PM

I bought a 3DS before XY were announced but I only own Pokemon games for it. So I actually bought a 3DS for Black 2 even though it wasn't required. I prefer Pokemon Y over X due to the exclusives. I feel like X got shafted on exclusives. Anything worthwhile is breedable on my Y and their exclusive Megas are far worse imo.

YesterdaysJam October 23rd, 2013 2:55 AM

Having the same internal battle myself! I work in a games shop in Aus, so I'm constantly talking to customers and staff about it and really want to play, but with the XBone coming out in a month, can't justify $200 to play one game!

Sebastian_Sommer October 23rd, 2013 3:30 AM

I immediately got X cause Xerneas reminds me of a certain boss from another rpg game

YesterdaysJam October 23rd, 2013 3:54 AM

My favourite response to asking someone which version they wanted.

"Whichever isn't the one with that ***kin' deer, I want a kickass bird, not a piece of s**t deer."

Ig Pokemon Lover October 23rd, 2013 3:05 PM

Well at first i wanted both because they looked awesome. Then i could only get one it was a hard choice but went with Pokemon Y because Yvetal looked cool.
