Sun or Moon?
 
Now we know what the cover legendaries look like, has that changed your opinion on what game you want to get? Either way, which game WILL you be getting and why? :) Will you get one or both? Will you get them both on release day or space it out?


I originally wanted Moon because I was like ok, coolest logo ever. But the legend, damn, she's absolutely terrifying. Definitely changed to Sun (and my bf will get Moon). What about you guys?

I was planning to get Moon before and this has pretty much confirmed it, not a big fan of the albino Saberleomon personally...

blue May 10th, 2016 5:11 AM

I'll still be picking Moon. I think I prefer the Sun legendary slightly more to the Moon legendary, but not enough to change my decision.

Hikamaru May 10th, 2016 5:12 AM

That Sun legendary reminds me too much of Pyroar, and while Moon's gives off a bit of Yveltal vibes (especially if it's Dark/Flying again) I still think it's more majestic so I guess I'll be picking Moon.

Nah May 10th, 2016 5:18 AM

I'm not sure really =/

Kinda want more information on the games and the 2 legendaries before I decide. This isn't like a Black/White case where I look at one and am like "holy fucking shit I need this I'm getting that version".

Skip Class May 10th, 2016 5:20 AM

Sticking with my decision to stay with Moon! Also liking the legendary slightly more as well.

Im Moon too. The moon one looks like a bat, which is pretty freaking awesome. I don't think its Flying/dark though. Honestly, I am predicting Flying/Psychic

I will be waiting until I can see the version exclusives before I make a definite decision, but so far, it'll be Moon. Just look at that legendary! It's beautiful and very terrifying. I love it!

Kikaito plush May 10th, 2016 5:46 AM

Aww! No Moon from Majora's mask for Pokemon Moons box art legend
Now the the box are legend have been revealed I'll be get Sun.

Nakuzami May 10th, 2016 5:52 AM

I'm going to try to get both versions, but I'll be prioritizing Moon out of the two. For one thing, Lunaala being a majestic bat is awesome, though I still love Solgaleo's design.

I'm just more partial to darkness, I guess, lol. Plus, thematically, Rowlet works better under the Moon than the Sun. c;

Judge Mandolore Shepard May 10th, 2016 6:27 AM

When it comes to Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, I made my choice last week when I preordered Pokemon Moon.

Sabrewulf238 May 10th, 2016 6:34 AM

At first I was going to get Moon because I always end up alternating versions each generation.
Then I was thinking of getting Sun because my favourite colour is orange.
Now I'm back to thinking Moon because I prefer Lunaala. It just looks really sinister and majestic.

I don't dislike Solgaleo but there's something about it's design that I don't like as much. It's mane looks a bit strange.

(I'm assuming that's there names because the three starter copyrights turned out to be legit. Plus Solgaleo very clearly matches up with the Sun legendary. "Could" be wrong, but I think it's at least safe to call them that until told otherwise)

Psywing May 10th, 2016 6:52 AM

I will be going Sun, just because I have a feeling a lot of people will be going Moon, haha.

Sheep May 10th, 2016 6:57 AM

I'm still mostly sold on Sun but the mascot legend for Moon almost made me reconsider. I love the concept and design... it's so cool. Really, I can go on forever about how gorgeous it is. But I think I'll still stick with Sun because... cat-like Pokémon master race, heh heh. <3 The temptation to get both is so real though!

Xander Olivieri May 10th, 2016 7:00 AM

Moon~ Moon~ Moon~

Picked Moon before the box legend was revealed and so happy with my choice!

I'm thinking Dark/Fairy. Dark cause of the sinister, yet elegant looking bat, Fairy because Moon.

Angelroid May 10th, 2016 7:48 AM

I'll be getting Moon.

RedJ May 10th, 2016 7:50 AM

Sticking with my tradition of downloading the first version from the eShop at midnight on release day, so I'll be getting Sun first. I'll probably get Moon at some point, but when will depend on money.

Inky May 10th, 2016 7:54 AM

I'll wait and see the version exclusives and stuff before I decide.

MarinoKadame May 10th, 2016 8:38 AM

I wonder what will be the 3rd legendary hidden. With the current legendary design I wonder which lore they are based off.

Pepperton May 10th, 2016 8:44 AM

Sun's mascot is bad in my opinion, so I think now I'm leaning towards Moon, though when the games were released my brother and I decided he would get Moon and I would get Sun. Hopefully he'll be willing to reconsider n__n;

J a s m i n e © May 10th, 2016 8:51 AM

I'll be getting both games but Moon is the one I like the most.

PlatinumDude May 10th, 2016 9:12 AM

I'm torn between both legends, really. While the Sun mascot is all regal, the Moon one is more mystic.

LilBueno May 10th, 2016 9:20 AM

I chose red because of Charizard.
Silver because of Lugia initially but then went back and preferred Ho-Oh/Gold over Silver/Lugia.
Ruby because of Groudon.
Y because of Yveltal over Xerneas.
Alpha Sapphire not because of Kyogre, but because I played Ruby and didn't want its remake.
Didn't play GenIV/V
So it looks like I tend to pick the "red" version when I choose versions over mascots (and maybe because red is my favorite color).
That said, though I initially thought Sun would have appealed more to me, the Moon legendary is definitely cooler in a Pokemonish way.
I'm still torn, though. I'll need more info about version differences.

Hikamaru May 10th, 2016 9:23 AM

I find it so funny that everyone is now leaning towards getting Moon... seriously it will be the popular version, because I called it.

Drake22ice May 10th, 2016 9:32 AM

Both are preordered, but the bat thing freaks me out
