Zekrom looks completely stupid to me so I'm going with Reshiram. He looks amazing.
 
white

Back in September when i was trying to decide which one to pre-order, it was a really tough desicion (yes, i pre-ordered 6 months ago) but after careful concideration, I chose White. White has better version exclusive Pokemon, and it has ZEKROM!!!!!
 
I would probably get black because my friends are all getting white because they liked the look of Zekrom. I think there are a few pokemon differences between the two games so they be begging me for some.
 
I couldn't decide on which one to get, but I ended up reserving white because my friend plans on getting black. I'll end up buying black at some point of course, though.
 
I think I'll get White, just cause I think Zekrom is awesome. Awesomely boring and generic reason, I know, but it works!
 
Well, at first l had my eyes set on getting white, but change my mind and decided l would go and pre-order black, Reshiram has grown on my and me being a nerd and all black city seems like a cool place. Probably has something to do with it not being as popular as White right now.
 
I reserved Black. Overall, I prefer most of its game-specific Pokemon (Reuniclus noooo!) and I like Reshiram a lot more than Zekrom. My brothers are both getting White, though, so I'm covered on all my bases. :rambo:

edit: also, yeah, Black seems less popular than White (probably because everyone's like "ooo zekrom ooo"), which probably lends to why I like it more.
 
White! I'll be getting the third game to most likely, but for now white is good. Mainly for white forest, i must admit. I'm more of a collector than a battler xD

im surprised theres not more people getting all 3 i know i am

Well it will be quite some time before the third game will be released, if it ever is made in the first place XD But I am betting both. Not straight away but I will get both games.
 
I'll be picking up White and then The Ruby Remake next year and then Grey after that.
 
I'm hoping to get both. My birthday is next month so so I will get White then. I should be getting Black Saturday morning, thanks to my Dad. ^^
 
I'm surprised at the poll results, I actually expected the oposite to what I saw (Black having more votes than White) but I'm happy because hardly any of the games that come after the first are chosen

Red & Blue
Gold & Silver
Sapphire & Ruby
Fire Red & Leaf Green
Diamond & Pearl
Heart Gold & Soul Silver
Black & White

What I mean is everyone seems to go for the game that's said first of the two games, as shown above, well thats what I think plus I prefere White to Black, although I think it's mainly to do with Zekrom & Reshiram being on oposite games to their colour.

But yeah, back on topic, I'm getting White on Friday, reserved at Game, not long now!

I have pre-ordered black.Why?Because I love Reshiram and I like cuter pokemon and the pokemon on black are cuter to me.I plan to one day get white or the 3rd game,which I think is ganna be named grey cause I want the solosis line,but I can always try to trade a exclusive from my game for one of them when I get a rounter thats compatable with my ds or dsi
 
After a lot of thought I've decided to get White! I based it on the version exclusives (as anyone would I suppose)

First of all I prefer the White Forest over Black City, the Forest just looks more like pokemon to me.

The version exclusive pokemon was tough, I decided to just compare the new gen pokemon and choose from there. It turned out that the two legendary (roaming and the one on the front of the case, can't remember names off the top of my head) that swayed it for me.

I'm pretty sure I'll never use them, but it helped nonetheless :)
 
I've got to go with Pokemon White! Can't wait for the White Forest and the exclusives for this game!
