Which version are you buying?
 
Was anyone else having a trouble deciding which one to buy like I was? Even though there have been few version exclusives announced, the two games are really different.

EDIT: I FINALLY decided on which version to buy; the (apparently) less popular OmegaRuby. Looking back I can't believe this was such a hard decision, because I've always bought the lesser popular version. My first pokemon game, Pearl, I bought because a bunch of my friends were getting Diamond. With Gen 5, Black was more popular, and so I bought White. When everyone was buying Y, I bought X.
I'll probably be getting AlphaSapphire eventually(maybe splurge for Christmas), for challenge runs and whatnot.

Even though my problem's been solved, I still wanna hear your thoughts.
Which version are you buying and why?

I brought Ruby back in 2003, so I will buy the opposite like I do in all remakes I've played: AlphaSapphire

Pendraflare November 8th, 2014 8:26 PM

I will most certainly have both, but i'm still not settled on which version of the two I plan to keep stuff with max IVs on and make progress with. I'm leaning more towards Omega Ruby for that since I like Groudon more than Kyogre, though.

ShadowEdge November 8th, 2014 8:39 PM

I usually pick the version that is my favorite color, so Alpha Sapphire for me :) all my friends are saying Omega Ruby is far better but I love Blue over Red.

εcho. November 8th, 2014 8:47 PM

Both, although Alpha Sapphire will be my main version! Loved my original Sapphire game so I gotta stick to the same one.

J a s m i n e © November 8th, 2014 9:09 PM

I'm getting both versions! Alpha Sapphire will be my main game since Sapphire was the version I had back in the day.

Altius November 8th, 2014 9:36 PM

Preordered both versions on Amazon Japan because I want both limited edition figurines.

Amaruuk November 8th, 2014 10:11 PM

Going with AlphaSapphire for the same reason I chose Sapphire back in the day - it's my birthstone. Also it has Seviper.

Waru November 8th, 2014 10:18 PM

I'm going for Alpha Sapphire. Quite honestly, I would have pre-ordered both, but I don't know why I didn't. I may and up grabbing Omega Ruby at another time to use it as a side game for experimental purposes.

Back in RSE days, I played Ruby (and then Emerald, eventually) -- I have no idea why I even chose that version. I like the water/blue theme way better.

curiousnathan November 8th, 2014 10:34 PM

Welp my sister is grabbing a copy of Alpha Sapphire, so I thought I might purchase the Omega Ruby to complete the pair. I was going to buy Omega Ruby regardless considering I prefer Groudon over Kyrogre and prefer to battle Team Magma over Aqua.

Oh yeah, my sister is also accompanying me with Omega Ruby (since I'm getting Alpha Sapphire).
That's always fun. c:

I still don't know. I've been considering going with OmegaRuby for traditional purposes (I tend to play the opposite version of what I got when I was younger), but also Kyogre is one of my favorite Pokemon, as is Latias. I won't know until night of release.

Yeah it always handy too, if you want to acquire a version-exclusive Pokemon; you can get your sibling to catch it for you and whatnot. :)

The Masked One November 8th, 2014 11:29 PM

As manly as Team Aqua is, I'm going with Omega Ruby. Just because of the fact that Omega Ruby has the better looking legendary (imo), and if it's like the original Ruby, Duskull should be able to appear in the wild in Omega Ruby. And I've always preferred Duskull over Shuppet, so Omega Ruby it is. :P

Apollo November 9th, 2014 1:47 AM

When it comes to paired versions, I usually get both of them -- one for myself, and the other one goes to my sister. So, in a way, I have "both of them". :P

But I'm going for Omega Ruby. I always preferred Team Magma over Team Aqua, and Groudon is more appealing to me than Kyogre is. Still always a Rayquaza fan tho. <3

Same exact reasoning for me! {XD} Although I also do like water types. because they're blue

The only version exclusive pokemon I care about having on my team is Zangoose, yet I still want Aqua Sapphire because of Team Aqua, Kyogre, and the game cartridge/start screen being blue. I've known that I wanted Sapphire ever since they came out for the GBA. I never owned a GBA back then, and now this is my time to finally play it! :P

Hikamaru November 9th, 2014 2:46 AM

I'll likely be getting both versions. My brother used to play the version opposite to mine but he retired from Pokemon so I tend to have all the games to myself nowadays.

As for which one I'll likely be playing more, it's probably Alpha Sapphire because:

1. I love Kyogre over Groudon
2. Team Aqua is way cooler than Team Magma
3. Blue is my fave color, so I tend to want to play the blue-colored versions
4. It has the version exclusives I love better

I remember that I played Ruby out of the original versions but now I've come to learn Sapphire grew on me much more than Ruby did so that's why I'm now going to reflect this with the remakes.

epicbiscuit23 November 9th, 2014 3:06 AM

I'm going with alpha sapphire. When I was a kid ruby and sapphire came out It was going to be my second pokemon game (first was silver) I chose sapphire.
and that's the reason I'm getting alpha sapphire

Starry Windy November 9th, 2014 5:22 AM

I'm going with Alpha Sapphire first, because my first Gen 3 game that I play is Pokémon Sapphire, even though not in legit way at that time. Besides, I enjoyed playing blue-colored versions because blue is my fave color, so why not?

Caite-chan November 9th, 2014 5:53 AM

I know in my group we all by half so we can trade with each other. I myself got Omega Ruby. I'm not much of a fan of water types or Team Aqua.

Star11Pika November 9th, 2014 6:29 AM

I'm going for Alpha Sapphire first just because <3 Kyorge! And I maybe will get the other version too I haven't decided about that yet. I know for sure that some of my friends will get OR so I'm able to get all "game locked" thingies though I don't even know if there are some XD

Cerberus87 November 9th, 2014 7:06 AM

I'll get Omega Ruby. And I don't see the point in owning both versions when millions of people in the world will get Alpha Sapphire and can trade me the exclusives I want.

Judge Mandolore Shepard November 9th, 2014 7:15 AM

I preordered Pokemon Alpha Sapphire months ago. One reason I went for it is because Primal Kyogre interests me more than Primal Groudon.

Centipede Chan November 9th, 2014 7:17 AM

I never buy both versions of a game because I can't trade with myself >~<

Anyway I am getting Omegle Ruby and not Alphourchan Sapphire because I like Groudon better.

DarkPoke001 November 9th, 2014 7:50 AM

Arghh, I can't vote yet...
It LOOKS as if i'll get Omega Ruby (mainly because of Latios, as unless the Eon Ticket distribution goes to Wi-Fi, i doubt i'll get one)

but yeah, I guess Groudon better >_<
