Black or White?

I was going to orginally buy White but I remeber when I rushed buying Diamond and then Platinum came out and I was like; what the hell? So this time I am not going to let my addiction for pokemon take over. Imma be patient and wait for the third game to be released. Hopefully being tns better than the both of them.
 
Spoiler:

Shroomish/Breloom are actually Black exclusives and Paras/Parasect are White exclusives. A number of sites actually mixed this up when the game was first released. Serebii has the updated info and I can also confirmed this. That being said, I was terribly disappointed when I couldn't catch a Breloom, since I've played White. :s

Anyway, I personally find almost none of the exclusives worthwhile. The only White exclusive I even remotely care about is Zekrom anyway, so White Forest is the most decisive factor for me.
 
I got White already in September,a week after the release. I prefer it than Black because of the natural aesthetics,sadly i don't like version exclusives there. >_<
I don't care Reshiram is rather better than Zekrom. I rather don't like legendaries, especially the ones you HAVE to catch.
I'm not getting an English BW. I will get the third game when it comes out in English. That would be even more interesting.
 
I'm getting White version instead of Black. I was thinking about getting Black for Reshiram(Or however you spell it) but once I checked out Zekrom status and moves, I decided to get White Version instead. I like Zekrom better then Reshiram now.
 
Hmmm, it's a hard choice really. I was planning on getting white, because I thought that Reshiram would of been in it rather than black. x_x Then I changed my mind and decided that I was going to get black for Reshiram. Now seeing version exclusives among other things, I feel I should get both. XDD;

I have to agree with you on this. Before I knew Zekrom and Reshiram were going to be in opposite games, I originally planned on getting White. Zekrom just seemed a bit too bland for my taste, but still the fierce overall design it has is cool. u_u After knowing they will be in opposite games, I've decided on getting Black. Aside from the version exclusives, I could always trade over from a friend. However since my brother will be getting White, it comes as if technically I'm getting both (as we'll also be switching after completing the game and experiencing everything for a while) but if I were to need something from White, I could just ask him.

So I'd say I'll be getting both, one used by my brother until the switch, and one for me; Pokémon Black being the main one I will use. (:
 
Both. And if there's a third game, I'll most likely be buying that too.
 
I have already bought the JP version of black from amazon. So yes, when English, it will be black too.
 
im gonna get black the pokemon for it looks cool as
 
I am going to start out with Black, and if it is good, I'll get the third one that comes out. I will not really need White, seeing as my sis will be getting it and if I ever need to trade for legendaries, well, I have my source. lol. Black attracts me, although I like the legendary for White better... But the city makes me happy. lol.
 
I went for Black because... I like the colour black. No, actually Black sounds more evil, that is the reason. XD
 
Everyone wants me to get Black because I'm Black. >.> But I'm getting White. Solely because I already have Pokemon Black(J)
 
Lol, MiZ. XD
I honestly think most people are getting Black, just because it's, well... Black. O_o
Black, I guess is a more popular color than White. =/
 
Looks like i'll be getting white, seeing as Zekrom and Wargle look awesome :D
Although black city does look alot better than whites 'forest'...
 
if anyone has any trouble deciding this image I made is for you
<insert that picture here>
I'm getting white because of the white exclusives and mainly the white forest

That's why I'm getting both xD
 
I plan on purchasing both versions on release day, but I'll be playing through White first.

I'll also pick up the third version whenever it's released.
