Which version do you plan on getting: Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire? Or do you, perhaps, plan to dive further and pick up more than one copy? :) Let us know what you'll be getting and why!

I'll definitely be getting Alpha Sapphire first! Then I'll pick up Omega Ruby when I have the money too. I've done that all the way through the series.

I'll start with Alpha Sapphire since I got Sapphire first out of the two, then I'll end up getting Omega Ruby for sure. n_n

Since Sapphire was my first game, I'll be getting AlphaSapphire. I also prefer Kyogre and water over Groudon and land. I'd like to get both but that's what I said the past few releases and I only got one version :P

Definitely getting Omega Ruby, Groudon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kyogre.

It's as simple a choice as it was when I was a kid.

Even though Ruby was my main version of the original pair, I might try and switch things up and go for Alpha Sapphire as my main this time around. I'll probably get both games like I usually do, with one being the main game and the other I do just for fun.

I will be getting Alpha Sapphire as Kyogore is cooler than Groudon.

I don't know which one I'd go for. Originally, my parents (yes, my parents because I was 8 years old when RS came out lmao) got both games for me and I played Sapphire first. I'd say AlphaSapphire though since I spent most of my time with Ruby.

I prefer Groudon over Kyogre. It's not the type specifically, I just like the Pokemon more. Groudon seems tougher to me, and as a kid I liked Groudon more (and still do). However, I will be purchasing both games, one for challenges and the other for trading and other whims. ^^

I'll probably go for Alpha Sapphire first, but I'll wait to see version exclusives before I make my final decision.

Sapphire was my original game though so I'll probably stick to it.

Alpha Sapphire because its boxart jumped out at me, and I started with Sapphire anyway.

Alpha Sapphire for me because Sapphire was the version I got first.. that the thunderstorm scene was more epic than drought (imho). But I'm really tempted to get both since Groudon and Kyogre are both amazing plus the box art is just wooow. <3

It's waaay too early to decide on this yet. We have no idea how different the two versions are going to be, and even though most pairs only differ on very insignificant levels, I feel like games covering the topic of environmental change might offer a bit more towards the differences between the versions than what is usually done. If it means that one version is gonna take place primarily on water, then I'll be sure to get the opposite version. Right now I'm definitely leaning mostly towards Omega Ruby though, since Ruby was the first version I ever got and played.

If I actually had a 3DS, which I don't I'd get Alpha Sapphire. I really want one now though lol XD

I'd pick Sapphire because it's my birthstone, and I like Kyogre better than Groudon.

I will pre order both/or buy them both (if can't pre order) I'll start with Alpha Sapphire, not sure exactly why, but I prefer water more than fire - and Kyogre looks cooler in the box's artwork.

Alpha Saphire probably. But I'll wait until I see a full list of the exclusives to make my mind up

I will buy Omega Ruby in physical form, but will probably quietly download Alpha Sapphire too.

I'm going to get Omega Ruby. The box art looks way cooler (plus, Team Magma make slightly more sense as Antagonists than Aqua do).

Most likely Omega Ruby, but it's way too early to know for sure. Can't wait for more info to start pouring out.

I'm gonna start off with Omega Ruby and get Alpha Sapphire later. Ruby was the first 3rd gen game I played and I prefer Groudon over Kyogre.

I find it interesting how many people are choosing based on sentimentality. I played Sapphire in the past, but that holds no weight with me. My choice will be based on version-exclusives--pokemon, megastones, and features.

Definitely going with Omega Ruby, as I always liked Ruby more than Sapphire, also my most favorite color. I have to start playing my normal Ruby copy on GBA, just for nostalgia.
