    Pearl. It's my middle name. It'll be so cool. 8D

    Also, my little brother has taken a liking to Diamond, I think. We usually get opposite versions. :3

    at this point, it's kind of hard to know but i saw pearl.
    eventually i'll get both.
    i always lean toward the "blue", also, got blue, silver, & sapphire first in the past.

    I'm undecided, though if/when they make the third of the D/P generation I'll get that.
     

    what?

    for some reason some people seem to be repelled by the dominant version (red, gold, ruby). I guess they're saying something about their personality.

    Anyways, Parukia is UGLY. But because diamond will probably be prefered by most people, I'd get pearl. Then sell my parukia like an unwanted child.

    I actually have always got the first version of every generation (Red/Gold/Ruby) for NO reason. I never actually thought about it but I've always wanted the first version for some reason as they always had the better Pokemon for me.

    To continue with this trend I'm buying Diamond, I've already pre-ordered it and it'll be here straight from Japan 1-4 days after release, maybe even before. I'll be playing it non-stop until I finish it.

    EDIT: Plus it doesn't really matter anymore about getting both because you can easily trade via WiFi now so there'll be no challenge in getting the other Pokemon.
     

    It's Just Fufu

    I always get both, for certain thing such as saving Master Balls, hunting for shiny pokemon and stuff like that. I'll be getting Diamond first tho, I think Diaruga looks really nice. My bro is saying he likes Parukia, so he wants Pearl We get always get versions that r the opposite of each other anyways. lol, I already have enuff money saved for D/P and a strategy guide... not that I need one.

    Like many others have said, I am going to get Diamond, and my sister will get Pearl. That way I can get a full Pokedex on Diamond. Afterwards, I'll probably get Pearl, but that's only because I want both Diaruga and Parukia. (And I can SR for shiny starters.) I just think that Diamond looks like the "lesser" version because I also have gotten Blue, Silver, Sapphire, and LeafGreen. (First, at least) Diaruga is also very cool looking and sounding (TIME-RULING, for gosh's sake!).

    I'll get Pearl, just cuz I like Parukia. My sister likes Diaruga, so I guess that works out.
