Black2 because I started my BW games with Black, but I'll get both versions because I have the first 2.

Since I got Black last time, I'm going with White 2. Deciding to switch things up a bit, and since my brother got White before, he wants to get Black 2 this time around. :B

This, pretty much. I liked Black but want to see what I was missing in White, so I'll probably end up getting White 2. A lil' switch-up will probably be good for the soul, and whatnot.

I haven't really decided.
I haven't looked into the game differences just yet, but I sometimes get both, depending on if I liked the game.​

Kind of one the fence on which one to get first even though I'll end up getting both versions eventually. I think I'll go for Black 2 first considering I got White first time round then I'll get White 2 once completed.

I'm going with the whole 'I got ___ last time so I'm getting ___ this time' because I only got one of the two games last time. That said, I got White last time so I'll be getting Black 2 this time.

Differences aside, I am getting Black 2. I got Black and never cared to get White.
All because of Reshiram being the mascot and I prefer her over Zekrom!

I like both, don't get me wrong, but I am going for Black 2 to pretty much stick with that side of the gaming adventure. I'll most likely get White 2 along down the road someday. I'm siding with Black on this one!

White 2, since I prefer white Kyurem over black Kyurem. iirc I got Black last time (also because I preferred Reshiram lol) so it'd be a nice change of pace to get the opposite game this time around. :D

I'm only getting one. I got White and was disappointed that it was the less "modern" one (White Forest and the rustic Opelucid) so right now, I'm leaning toward B2. Of course, it's too early to set that in stone, as the presence of version exclusive Pokemon (or even trainers) could sway my decision.

The Kyurem form resident in the game is not going to factor in my decision, however. I view that as relatively unimportant as far as my decision about which game to buy.

All other things being equal (i.e., my preferred Pokemon being in both versions) it might come down to buying whatever version my brother doesn't get... so we'll have both versions between the two of us.

White if only due to my preference of Reshiram over Zekrom.

For some reason or another I'm going to get Black 2. As for what reason... well, not really. Black Kyurem is probably just a bonus.

I would probably choose White 2, because I like white Kyurem's design better than the black one's. XD I loved Reshiram so much more than Zekrom..
