I'll be getting both, but my 'main' game will be AlphaSapphire, since Sapphire was my main game back in Generation III.

Alpha Sapphire definitely (my favorite color is blue), though I may get Omega Ruby eventually. Has it really been 10/11 years since the originals came out? I'm an old woman.

I will probably end up getting both. However, I will mostly likely get Alpha Sapphire first because I feel I neglected my original Sapphire. This will make up for lost time!

I'm getting both, but I'm defenitly playing Omega Red first for the reason being that;
Groudon + sunny day + Solar Beam = R.I.P Kyogre

I should be buying both (I always buy both remakes!).

But I am leaning towards buying Alpha Sapphire first :)

Right now Alpha Sapphire is winning, what with Mega Sableye being announced and all, it's likely it'll be exclusive to Alpha Sapphire since the Pokemon was in the original Sapphire.

I will be getting Omega Ruby first, since I first bought Ruby way back then. IT feels good for nostalgia. But I plan on getting both (after I get Pokemon X.)

I'm getting both like I always do but Omega Ruby will be my main game. Ruby was always a lucky game for me so I will play Omega Ruby more as an homage to all my lost shinies from Ruby.

I believe I'm going to go for Alpha Sapphire, but not quite sure yet; it depends on the version exclusives. Either way, I'll eventually pick up the other copy.

It'll depend on what my boyfriend gets; I'd be open to reliving Sapphire but I'd also be open to switching. :)

Since I played Sapphire first, I guess I'll get AS. Also because Team Aqua us obviously more ambitious than Team Magma. Sure I want Groudon but Kyogre has his own points that puts him on top of Groudon.

Since my best friend got to buy Y (the version I wanted. . .) before I could buy X, she's letting me get Ruby first this time (which is the version we both wanted since it was the first Pokemon game we both played). However this means she gets to pick her starter Pokemon first, and Treeko was the starter we both chose. . . I'm going to end up with Mudkip on my first run ;_;

I hope Nintendo does another promotion where, if you register Club Nintendo points you can get a free download copy of one of the Pokemon games. That's how I got Y (:

I'll be getting both, I'll pre-order one myself and the other I have asked to be pre-ordered as a birthday present (Since I don't want to pay for both or have to wait until Christmas for the other version). I don't know which I'll be pre-ordering myself, it depends on which version is pre-ordered for my birthday. I'll probably order mine from GAME as they have always delivered my Pokemon games before release date (hopefully I haven't jinxed it!) plus 'dem reward points. (Though I've been saving them to get money off my pre-order)

Definitely Alpha Sapphire. I liked fighting Team Aqua back in Sapphire and I can't wait to get my hands on that Mega Kyogre. This was a no-brainer for me.

I'm going both, because I love Pokemon and have the money, so why not show some love to Nintendo? :) Besides, this way I can start over without losing everything. Plus this way I can Play AS (my initials, lol, not like you care. My first name is Anthony, and my last name.... starts with s.) normally, and to pay homage to Nuzlocke's original run, I'll play OR as a Nuzlocke, and will picke Sceptile. IDK what starter I'll take for AS, but prob. Swampert just to try out the new Mega he got.

I always get one of each version, so I'll do the same this time. I'm going to start with Omega Ruby, though, since I started with Ruby back in Gen. III. :)

I'll be getting Alpha Sapphire. Since I got Ruby first, I'm choosing the latter. Did the same thing when HG/SS came out (had Gold and SoulSilver)

Decided on both. However, I'll get Omega Ruby first because my original game was Ruby. I like Groudon a lot more than Kyogre despite the terrible type disadvantage.

Alpha Sapphire on the other hand, I really want to try out the storyline for Team Aqua... And I'm a huge latias fan.
Hopefully there will be an Eon event again though.

Alpha Sapphire. Sapphire was the game I first played of gen 3, so it seems fitting that I play the remake of that one. Did the same with Silver and Soul Silver.

Alpha Sapphire for sure. My favorite type is water, so I obviously want Kyogre instead of Groudon. ...Oh, yeah, and Kyogre has a type advantage over Groudon. ^-^

I plan to get both, do a "blind" Nuzlocke on one of them for my first play, then a normal play on the other and keep that as my main one. Since I like Groudon more than Kyogre, I think Omega Ruby will be the one I stick with. But we'll see.
