6th Gen Owning Both?

[Firox]

I bought both games (X and Y) on release day - actually I had them on pre-order since the pre-orders had started months before

Today I own more than one of each game so I can play various teams without restarting.

answer the questions:

Spoiler:

• How many of you own both versions and is it worth it? - I own both games, and more than one copy (I own 2 copies of Pokemon X and 4 of Pokemon Y), and for me it's well worth it. My only downside is that I have to label each individual game and box to know which teams I'm playing in which game, and what language I'm playing the game in

I didn't bought them all 6 copies in one day, except for the first 2, I bought the other games across time.

• If so, why? - I like to play various teams, and can only have 1 team per game, so this way I can play various teams without having to loose my precious Pokemon, every time I restart a game (only done twice) I feel that I'm abandoning the team - I have severe issues with abandonment.

• Would you recommend others owning both games? - I would, not to buy them all at once, when extra cash is available, buy another one, to play a game... remember to label the game and the box to know which team is in which game.

I own X but really, really want to get Y. It's immensely difficult for me to restart my first file in a Pokemon game, especially since I've already caught all the Pokemon and achieved so many things. Y would be a fun thing to replay and go through the story again.. because I truly do miss it.

I own both pretty much for all above reasons, mainly use Y since it was my first one, and i get to use x for story repeat. :-)

 

[Colress Machine]

I own both versions. I got X after Y for collecting and because I wanted to play with a new team. I'd also be able to get version exclusives and mega stones easier, so that was a big plus. I personally don't regret having both versions at all!

I own both nowa nd honestly can say I havent regretted my decision! I LOVE being able to have tyranitarite AND aggronite without having to get rid of any megastones and love having one for main story (will be my recently bought X) as I will be restarting my Y once I beat the E4 and get the legendaries then will reset to start with another starter to get the third legendary bird (still need zapdos, or picking fennekin as starter) as i chose chespin in Y for articuno my favoritea nd chose froakie in X as thats my favorite starter choice:)

I LOVE owning both! Thanks so much for the input guys and gals!

I have both versions. I also have two 3DSs, one being the limited edition Pikachu 3DS XL so I can trade between my games. I really think it's worth it because now I can have my completed X save for tournaments, trading and Friend Safaris while I redo the story in Y.

I had both Black and White because I wanted to restart the story again a few times and not lose all my hard work. However with X & Y I have no desire to start the story again at the moment so only see myself getting the third version if it comes out and not both the games for this gen.

I almost impulse on a Pokemon Y 2 nights back, but decided to hold out for the 3rd or sequence instead. Can't find a point in playing over the same storyline, albeit different versions.

 

[Meganium]

I'll buy Y for the sake of version exclusives. I have X, so buying Y would be worth it because Yveltal and other Pokemon that I can't catch on X. I really don't mind starting the story over again.

 

[UB3R_N00B]

I got both now and just did an impulse buy on amazon on saturday for a blue pokemon x and y 3ds xl limited edition :) cant wait to get it, should have it by monday :) yay! Lol

 

[Eevee3]

I only have X and I would never buy the other copy. I just don't feel like I need to. xD I can definitely see why other people would though.

 

[Centipede Chan]

I never by both. I do however buy the thirds of each main game.

As for mystery dungeon I buy 1 in each series. Bought Red Rescue Team, Explorers of Darkness, and Gates to Infinity.

 

[luvloveless]

I started with Y and now that I've beaten it I really want to do it all over again. So I bought X so I could get Xerneas and a different bird. I'll probably restart Y at some point so I can get all 3 of the legendary birds.

 

[AuroraBeam]

I have both only because I found a copy for 15 bucks and couldn't pass it up. I usually only get one out of the set though. It's cool because you can get all of the version exclusives and use one for restarting and the other for collecting/saving all of your stuff.

 

[Captain Barnacle]

I own both games to get the game exclusive mega stones since other players don't give them up easy.

 

[Vegas Bull]

Has there been any word of a 3rd version actually being made or released?

 

[Sebastian_Sommer]

I only bought the X version cause I was able to obtain nearly all of the other version exclusive pokemon through the GTS or from this forum. But I'm waiting to see if there's going to be a 'Z' version of the game.

I cant imagine a Z version because theres Zygaurde which is the "Z" pokemon. But I could be wrong. I could see more of like an X and Y version 2 though.

 

[Proteun]

I want to get Y for my Solo challenges and other things, but I think I'll wait until they are a little less expensive. I'm not going to pay fifty Euros just to play it again.

 

[Taemin]

I only own X, but I'd like to eventually get Y.

Mainly because I just had to restart X to be able to play the game again, and I always dislike having to erase my files. D:
