5th Gen Black or White?

[Storm_has_formed]

I decided White, though it could change in a few minutes, and again in another few minutes -_-

 

[Westie7]

I'm picking White, at least for my main game.
I was going for Black originally, but then they revealed Zekrom and his awesomeness switched me over to White.
I also prefer Reunculus (Sp?) and Basurao Blue to Gothitelle and Red Stripe form. And Nageki, I like him too.

 

[KurcioDurcio]

Black. dunno how just though of that first.

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

I got both versions in Japanese and I think both of them are awesome!! I like White because of the triple battles and the White forest and I like Black because of Reshiram and Black city ★

Btw- How did u guys set ur signature as pokemon teams? ★ XD

 

[TehPsychicTypeMaster]

I've preordered Black, a while ago. It just seems more appealing, and the legendary is cooler. I love the Technological theme for Black City and Souryuu City.

 

[ゼクロム]

Pokemon White FTW. Pokemon Black's legendary is garbage, no offense.

i see a bunch of you said you are getting both. why get both aren't they the same game?sorry i'm still a beginner

 

[KitKat13]

I am going to get both, since sometimes my cousin is playing as well, so I could let him borrow the other. :) ..

Yes, they are basically the same, but there are a few version differences present.

One of them being Black City and White Forest which are present exclusively in Pokemon Black and White respectively. The mascots of the two games are also different; Reshiram and zekrom being two and there are several other version exclusive Pokemon as well.

These three links will provide you with in-depth details on the differences:

Zekrom rules IF theres a third(witch will earliest after Ruby remake)
I´ll "buy" play it to;)

 

[Cherrim]

I already got Black and now I'll be getting White.

I was a little torn over which version to get. On the one hand, I always get the "first" game in the sets. (RED and blue, GOLD and silver, RUBY and sapphire, DIAMOND and pearl, etc.) On the other hand, I really disliked Reshiram and wanted to get Zekrom. xD; Luckily, I realized that didn't matter if I was going to import one of them and get the other in English. So that's exactly what I did. I pre-ordered Black in Japanese and now I've got my pre-order set for White in English. :) Problem solved!

 

[MysticFlygon]

Like many other people, I'll be getting white because it has better version exclusives and I like Zekrom's type better than Reshiram's. I still might end up getting both and then all three like I did with Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.

 

[kissing. raindrops]

I wanna get White, cause of White Forest, and the version exclusive Pokemon. :3

 

[Alternative]

This is actually a hard decision for me. I want White for Seedbby, and I also want Black for Reshiram. I'm leaning towards Black though, as I can always get someone to trade me a Seedbby egg. :D

 

[Backup]

I ended up preordering Black Version.

I'm not sure why, but White Forest didn't seem that appealing to me. Black City sounds interesting.

Though I like some of the version exclusives in White Version a bit better, I think that I'll be happy with Black. :)

 

[Pokemon Master Derrville]

I think Ill be getting both. I heard that you can hook up with a buddy and explore Unova together and if that holds up Ill be getting White and my brother will get Black.

 

[DefiningTheDecade]

I say White.. the exclusives just yell it in my face.. can't help but give the bout to them

 

[Elsword]

White has Lilligant, Zekrom, and Braviary.

I'm choosing White.

 

[NejiForce]

I played white allready and i think the white forrest is great!I found there cool Pokis like the Steal thing from Hoenn Magby Elekid and other babypoki.
(black city will have two trainers to defeat and some stones for evolving...)

 

[FrostPheonix]

The third game. But, if they don't announce anything about it before march, I'll probably go with white. Dont want to miss the events.
