    • I got white because I liked Zekrom's design a bit better. I love them both, I just liked Zekrom a tiiny bit better. And the name. Lol. And my brother got Black. We always get the opposite of each other. It's too bad he never got Soul Silver though..

    • I chose the Black Version, because Reshiram more appealed to me than Zekrom.
    Concerning Black City or White Forest, I have to say that I'm disappointed of both... Maybe it's because I was expecting a very amazing place, and finally they are not that awesome... I guess I prefer Black City anyway, battles are better.

    I also like Pokemaon Black, it is probably because black is my favorite color and also because in black there is a lot more intensity and action.

    White. Can't say no to Reuniclus's face.

    Oh, and the eagle of AMERICA. Black's exclusives just bored me. Black City seemed like a better exclusive area, though. White forest is still nice, I suppose.

    @ Bottom: I agree actually, although it was originally the opposite for me. I got White as my main game because originally I thought White Forest was the best, yet sadly, it really wasn't. Black City actually made me look away from playing Black the most, lol. :(

    • Black City and White Forest imo weren't all that great. :/ I chose Black because it has Zekrom which I like better than Reshiram.

    • I got both versions, but I chose to play Black first because of Reshiram. But I prefer White Forest for the free Pokemon.

    IMO, Reshiram is better because its dual STABs being unresisted. Its design is also cool.

    • I own both versions, but I'll have to go with White on this one. The exclusives- namely Braviary and Reuiniclus- are better than Black's. I also like Zekrom better than Reshiram, because Reshiram seems a little too bulky in size.

    I think that they could have made white city and black forest a lot better, they weren't very well designed and i think that most people just got the games because of the pokemon and not because of the City/Forest

    • I chose Black thinking I was going to get Zekrom. Nope, got Reshiram. I love them both. I prefer Black City better. I also prefer the Black Opelucid City theme better.

    I prefer White a bit more tbh due to having access to the White Forest and Thundurus to name a few exclusives which I liked moreso over Black's exclusives back then, personal preferences ftw.

    • I prefer Pokemon White pretty much because of the exclusives and a few perks you get here and there. I always feel like the differences between the two games are too minimal to affect the storyline (apart from the legendary part towards the end, although it still tends to be similar on both stand points). Most of the reasons of choice goes down to the little quirks a specific person has towards the games (as well as what's available in stock when purchasing it :P).

    • I chose Pokémon Black... I prefer Reshiram and just can't afford the idea of N catching it. I also like the Hero of Truth thing, so...
    The futuristic Opelucid City is much more appealing as well.
    About White Forest and Black City, I didn't care about either... You have to talk or battle everyone everyday in order to keep them there, and I just don't have time for this...

    • I always get both versions, but when I imported, I chose White. I like all the version exclusives more, except Zekrom. Plus I mean PETILIL is in White. WILD PETILIL. EVERYWHERE. YES. What more reason do I need?!
