Man, so far everything I've wanted has been included in Pokemon Black... except the mascot. This is rather difficult to choose this time around. Got a preorder in for White... but it looks like I'm going to have to change it to black. I can always get Zekrom somewhere else. :r

I'll give you Zekrom if I don't like him I don't use starters anyways... Just remind me when the games come out and I'll trade it to you whenever I get him...

Sort of applies to me. I love Zekrom and Rankurushu, yet I also want that Black city. I might even get both, lol. xD

Well thank you for that, I'll make sure to remember. :)
 
At first I said I was just going to get Black... but like I do every generation I'll end up with all versions -_-
 
Haha, I might end up doing that myself. I haven't gotten all versions of a gen since Red and Blue came out. :0
 
White.
No racism intended, but I like white more than black.
 
Actually saying that, I ended up skipping out on R/S (I got Emerald however) until I got Diamond and Pearl and realised I needed them for Seviper and Zangoose. But I'm a get a bit crazy when they release a new lot of Pokémon games, usually wind up playing one more than the other too :P
 
if i had to chose right now with out knowing the version exclusives, i would chose white because zekron just looks sick and i feel that reshiram just looks plain ugly, but i do want to know the version exclusives first.
 
I'm getting white because it has Rankurusu.
 
I will be getting White and my fiance will be getting Black. They will be releasing in Spring of 2011 here in America and that is when our wedding is scheduled. Chances are, if I like the game (I am sure I will) then I will also be getting the third counterpart seeing as those typically have more to them and would provide more replayability.

Reason I say that is because I have Heart Gold and I refuse to restart it. I probably won't restart White either which is why the third game will be almost an essential.
 
I'm getting Black.
I've always gotten the "first" version..well, first.
Red, Gold, Ruby, Diamond, and HeartGold. (Not FireRed, unfortunately).

I may buy them both at the same time, but even if I do that, Black will be my primary game.
White will be saved for awhile after I've beaten Black and don't want to start over in it.
That's what I just did with SoulSilver.
 
Err... I don't know.

I like the look of different areas in both games, and I don't really care about the exclusives/mascot... I'll probably end up getting one and have a friend get the other so we can trade and whatnot.
 
Hehe..It just dawned on me that Reshiram looks kinda like Dragoon from Beyblade lol.

Anyway,since I like Reshiram, and I am curious to the Black City, I will be gettingblack, though this time,I may just have to buy White to be a curious son of a B**** and see the differences.I only got the other game in the past if I lost thee first one or it broke.(Bought yellow then Backtracked to Red,Then my friend gave me blue,Lost Silverx2 so bought Goldx2 and Crystalx2, Bought and lost Rubyx2 so got Saphirex2[one i still have] and emeraldx3[batteries died out and I couldnt save...best game IMO] Fire Red was the only game I bought once and kept up with and since then, Diamond, Platinum and Heartgold[only because every store I went to was sould out of Soul SIlver]

Then buy the third game for the final updates.xD Im one troubled Pokemon fan.....12 years strong.
 
Right now, I'm leaning more towards White, but I'll hopefully end up getting both.
 
Even though I love Zekrom, I'm leaning towards the rustic old-style feel of the towns in White version. Since we don't know if this will apply to most cities yet, I probably won't know exactly what version I want until it actually comes out and you can see everything.
 
I'll be doing my usual thing: getting both. But Black will be my Primary version, Reshiram is epic
 
Well I'm going to buy both but right now. My position at the moment,White.
I like Zekrom more than Reshiram so there was that. But I still had to figure out which I want to play first. The next decision maker was Rankurusu and Gochiruzeru and seeing how they are version exclusive I had to go with Rankurusu. So my answer for now will be "White".
