[Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl] Which version are you getting?

I had Diamond as a kid, but I'll try the remake for Pearl. Plus that will have Slowpoke in it, which means they will likely throw in Galarian Slowpoke.

Also I want to play with Purugly for the meme irony.

I'd love to know what logic people use to decide which of a pair of identical games they're going to get when they know nothing about them.

Legendaries xD
That and guessing the exclusives based on the previous ones!

SP and Legends Arceus.

I'm getting Brilliant Diamond because I prefer Dialga and I don't really like Palkia in general.

Shining Pearl for me I think 😁

My partner and I usually get both and each pick one to keep, but can play the other whenever. I'll have access to both, but I'm not sure if I'd prefer Pearl since that's the one I've got, or Diamond since it's a little different!

I am getting Shining Pearl, my two brothers are getting Diamond, in the last game we all got shield, doing the dex was so painful never doing that again

I'm gonna be getting diamond, hands down. It has the cooler looking legendary, cooler legendary types, and it had cooler version exclusives in the OG games.

tallying up the scores right now (giving both games a point for the 'Both' option) it's 22-11 in favor of Brilliant Diamond. looks like Dialga's winning handily~

I'll probably get both.

I'm leaning more towards Brilliant Diamond, mostly because I played Diamond as a kid. Also Dialga is amazin

Brilliant Diamond for sure, as I chose Diamond version back when they originally released. I have no doubt in my mind that I'll end up getting the other copy at some point as well, if I enjoy them.

It really depends on how I feel closer to the release date. It's entirely dependent on which Pokemon will be in each version.

Back in the day, my brother had Diamond, so I got Pearl. I'm too sentimental to change now.

Probably Brilliant Diamond.

I've picked Pearl in the past, so there's a mighty good chance I might pick up Shining Pearl. I do have quite an appreciation for the color pink.

Leaning towards Pearl atm. Highly doubt I'll be getting both.

I will probably buy Shining Pearl. I previously played Diamond, because I really liked Dialga on the cover. At that time I didn't know about any edition differences and in hindsight I would have preferred buying Pearl.

Shining Pearl for sure. Cooler name and box art legendary

I think I will get Shining Pearl. I like the pastel colors in its background art. I also like its logo. Another reason is that I got Diamond version for the DS, and I like changing things up. (e.g., I've picked White and Black 2, Moon and Ultra Sun, etc.) It lets the experience be a bit more different, and I like seeing covers that look different in my game collection.
