Pretty simple question, which version did you purchase, and why? If you bought both, why?

I went out to purchase Y then was aiming for AS but the lady in the shop brought out OR so I ended up with that.

Quite happy with OR actually as I like Groudon quite a bit.

I own both, I got back into pokemon because a friend wanted someone to play with. He owned Y and had preordered AS.
So I bought X and preordered OR.
Recently I decided I wanted to replay the games, but I have a live dex on X and I use OR for breeding, so decided to go buy Y and AS so I can replay the games

I got both versions, but Alpha Sapphire had the exclusives I liked better (and also I always tend to lean towards the "blue" version) so that's the one I play more.

I have both, but I prefer to AS because I like Kyogre/Team Aqua more, and at this point I'm further in the game with it. Though to be honest the games are pretty similar so it doesn't really make a difference which I play, because it's the same experience.
What are you so afraid of?

I got OR, because I'd gotten Ruby back in the day, and it's only logical to have them match up. Every time I'm on the eShop I debate whether or not to get AS. It'd be nice to play through the story again, but my OR is now my main game, so there's no chance of playing through the story without another game.

I went with Alpha Sapphire for two reasons. I had played the orignal Sapphire, not Ruby. I also liked Kyogre more than Groudon.

I chose Alpha Sapphire since I went with Sapphire originally. I ended up getting Omega Ruby too, but my main game right now is AS.

I bought both because of course I always get both games at some point. Omega Ruby was my main one, but I got a second copy of that so I could play through against Team Magma and Primal Groudon again, and I like its exclusives more.

Since I started with Pokémon Sapphire, I choose Alpha Sapphire first, not to mention that I like Primal Kyogre a lot.

I went with Alpha Sapphire since I first played Sapphire. Also having pirates as the enemy team is more interesting than nerdy Team Magma, I think.

I bought 3 copies of the game on release day.

One copy of OR and AS for myself, and one copy of AS for my girlfriend (a beginner to pokemon, but she's really enjoying it). I bought both versions for myself because I like having a save file that I never erase. A file that I can return to to acquire post-game pokemon to trade to other games.

As for preferring one version of the game over the other, I have no such preference. I mean...maybe I'd lean towards OR since I went with Ruby way back in the day for GBA. But really, I don't have a preference.

I bought both so that my Pokemon game collection remains complete! But if I were to buy only one, I would have bought OR because Ruby was my first choice when I was younger because I thought Groudon was SUPER AWESOME when RS was first announced.

I intended to go with the colder colour from Pokemon X onwards, so it was Alpha Sapphire for me.
Archie justified my decision heh!
