Figured we need an obligatory "which version will you play" thread.

While we don't know much about the games at this stage, aside from the new forms for Solgaleo and Lunala, there will still be stuff like version differences that will be revealed later down the line that plays a huge factor into deciding which game you'll play.

So, which version do you plan to choose? Do you plan to pick the version that directly lines up with the version you had of the original S/M pair, or will you try the opposite for a change?

I'll be choosing Ultra Moon because I prefer Lunala just like I chose Moon.

Why not both? I'm gonna go for both like I've always done since Gen V.

Ultra Sun but only because I started with Moon. I'll probably end up getting both versions eventually.

I'm not going to vote yet. Do we even know which mascot legendary is assigned to which version? I know it's probably likely that Solgaleo is Ultra Sun and Lunala is Ultra Moon since the theming on the logos wouldn't really make sense if they were switched....but we still don't know for certain.

I'm tempted to go with Ultra Sun just because I went with Moon originally, though it'll depend on whether it has some sort of connectivity with the games we already have (like in 5th gen)....so that might sway me towards Ultra Moon.

Moon was the version I played of the original pair, so it only makes sense that I go for its corresponding sequel which is Ultra Moon.

This is the first time since gen 5 where I've been conflicted as to which version. This time I think both legendaries look equally cool, but I've already gotten Sun so I was considering Ultra Moon. But if the time thing is like it was in Moon, then I might opt for Ultra Sun...

If I decide to get one of these, it'll probably be Ultra Moon. Kinda liked Alola at night.

Both, as I've done for a number of generations now. Still debating whether to pick up extra copies (I did with XY and ORAS, but haven't yet with SuMo). I'll probably start with Ultra Moon first, as I started with Moon this time around and like the shifted clock of Moon given my typical play hours, followed by US for challenges or simply another play through.

I'm getting both. I do earn my own money so I can afford to do this now. I'll be setting one for my main gameplay, and the other for my monotype journey.

But I'm buying Ultra-Moon first.

I'll be getting Ultra Moon, as I have Sun. My little brother will be getting Ultra Sun as he already has Moon. I did the same with Black and White and Black 2 and White 2. I got Black, while my little brother got White and when Black 2 and White 2 came out, he got Black 2 while I got White 2.

I'm getting both, but I'll probably play Ultra Sun first since I played Moon first. Unless they're sequels, then I guess I'll play Ultra Moon first.
