    Which of the version exclusives were your favorite, and did they help you decide which game to get? If you could trade one version exclusive for the other which one would it be?

    Personally, I picked White because I preferred Zekrom to Reshiram, and I also really liked Reuniclus as opposed to Gothitelle. Now though I wouldn't mind switching the version exclusives just for the sake switching things up, and giving me a chance to try out the other mons!
     
    I didn't know about the version exclusives when picking between the games other than the cover mons. After playing I really have a balanced opinion on the version exclusives. I prefer Vullaby/Mandi to the Braviary family but I like the Solosis line a bit more than the Goth line. I also prefer Reshiram more now to Zekrom D:
     
    I mostly like Black's version exclusives better than White's, especially Whimsicott (it's adorable but I like Lilligant as well) and Gothitelle. As for some of the others, I like them pretty equally such as Reshiram and Zekrom.
     
    They don't really matter as much to me. I loved Cottonee but I also loved Solosis. I eventually based my decision of a preference for Zekrom and the fact that I could always obtain the exclusives from my friends with the other copy.
     
    I got given my copy of white by a friend but was happy as I liked the look of Zekrom more than Reshiram, i also was more interested in white forest than black city (but was severely disappointed).
     
    I got White version because I preferred white and Zekrom was an electric type, which I was biased towards since it's my favorite type.. plus White Forest is awesome. Version exclusives aren't important enough for me to change my opinion on what to get but if I had Black it would've been awesome because Whimsicott is just lovely. <3
     
    I picked White version because of one of the exclusive features that is of White Forest. Being one of the places that can help you catch a Pokémon also helps. Besides, I was taking a liking of Zekrom and some others like Reuniclus and Braviary.
