I could tell that you like Xerneas...
Anyway, I prefer him also. I haven't caught either of the Pokémon, so I don't know what their battle skills are like, but Xerneas looks cooler.

Deep Thoughts...
The people of the Pokémon world aren't too creative. They named Pokémon after what sound they make. If we were like them, a cow would be called a "moo".

I'm Reading...
Just finished a volume of Soul Eater, volume 14. At this point, it has become very different compared to the anime, and I kind of like it. Some of the characters have gotten a lot more fleshed out (specifically the meister team of Ox, Kilik, and Kim), and things are happening quite differently. An exciting read.

I'm Playing...
The iPod music game, Cytus. While I may not know very many of the songs, I really like its music, and the gameplay is easy to pick up yet takes quite a while to master. A friend has seen me play it and he says I make it look easy, but I am still having a fun and challenging time. Definitely worth the price.

despite the type disadvantage, i have an yvetel that kills any xerneas in 2 hits.

On the other hand, Xerneas is the best looking fairy and the strongest fairy. Also, type advantage over both counterparts.

So i like them both.

Xerneas was one of the reasons why I ended up going for Pokemon X. So I really do like Xerneas. I recall when I caught it, it was caught with a Heal Ball. It is the only Legendary I have caught with that kind of Poke Ball.

I prefer Xerneas, because Geomancy, Power Herb and Moonblast is an unholy combination in competitive battling. I also like the Fairy typing Xerneas gets over Yveltal's Dark/Flying, I personally think Honchkrow does a much better job as a Dark/Flying type than Yveltal, which knocks it down a little.

On top of that Yveltal's stat arrangement's just weird to me. I personally think that HP stat fits Xerneas a lot more.

I'm actually pretty split between the two of them, so I'll have to give them a draw. I originally bought Pokemon Y because I preferred Yveltal to Xerneas, though the latter has definitely grown on me since I first saw it. I still don't know if I like its design quite as much as Yveltal's, but its typing and moveset definitely make up for that.

I like Xerneas better of the two, it's got better typing and its signature move Geomancy has a cool animation. I just had to choose X as my main version over Y purely for this reason.

Xerneas is epic in a way that appeals to me much more than the darkly looking Yveltal. It's elegant rather than brutal, even though I admit Yveltal is pretty cool as well. I think mainly it reminds me of this:

I'm surprised Xerneas is winning - I honestly thought Yveltal was the more loved :)


Anyways I'm not gonna help matters haha cause I prefer Xerneas too - one of the reasons I picked X and I actually kept him on my team for a while, something I haven't done with a legendary in a long time :)

For me, Yvetal is the obvious choice. I don't really even care for Xerneas (or fairy types in general).

Besides, Yvetal is the ultimate crusher of all ghost types.

I prefer Yveltal, due to its resemblance to Lugia. Plus, its black and red color scheme go along with its body structure pretty nice; looks very natural, if you ask me. :] Xerneas is okay, and I just love its creative design, but this definitely isn't the first deer Pokémon, though. Deer are cute, but... they're just not as awesome as beastly birds like Lugia and Yveltal, haha.

I don't really care for either of them, in that they barely stand out to me at all, but I prefer Xerneas. It was the legendary in X, too, so it's the only one I actually own.

...and this is exactly my other reason. I love that it reminds me of one of my favourite movies. 8)

Yveltal. Imposes much more of a fierce, powerful energy, and the coloring of its body is perfect, in my opinion. I've seen so much fan art of it in many different forms; menacing, or even cute, and they all appeal to me more than Xerneas. Nothing against the fairy; I prefer it over a heap of other legendaries. In this bout, though, Y's mascot wins.
