Xerneas.

Blue > Red
Rainbows > Darkness
Life > Death
Fairy > Dark
Earth (x-axis) > Skies (y-axis)
The letter X > The letter Y

The only thing I don't like about Xerneas over Yveltal is how cheap Xerneas is to use competitively. >_>
 
Yveltal gets my vote, I prefer the ones that look tough over ones that are cute.
 
Yvetal is badass but Xernes is so damn majestic. It looks like something owned by royalty...plus it's Blue! It gets my vote :P
 
I voted "But I like them both!" I don't have a problem with their designs, they both look great, sadly may never get a chance to use them
(they both appear so late in the game, by then I'm already attached to my team, can't get rid of anyone for the legendary).
 
Yveltal gets my vote because it's death incarnate with a kickass typing and moveset along with the opinion that it's a bit more fun to use than Xerneas if you ask me.
 
I think both legendaries are really cool, and have neat designs! I like them nearly as much as Ho-oh & Lugia, which is my fave pair of legendaries. (I know Zygarde makes it a trio, but I'm not including it in this case XD) I also thought their involvement with the plot was rather interesting, what with Xerneas bringing forth life and Yveltal destroying crap. It made them sound much cooler and more powerful; if only the battle against them were like that :< Of all the playthroughs I've done, I've managed to catch them after using one-three balls.

Anyway, although I do like them both, I personally prefer Yveltal over Xerneas. I'm very fond of the Fairy type, and I find Xerneas rather useful competitively, but Yveltal comes out superior in terms of design, typing, and backstory. I also like its shiny color palette more it looks like flying bacon; I like both legendaries' signatures moves equally, as Geomancy's pretty cool-looking and useful if utilized correctly while Oblivious Wing sounds deadly (especially if going by its Japanese name, Death Wing) and restores Yveltal's HP based on 75% of the damage dealt.
 
I'll always give my favor to Xerneas, despite having purchased Y. It's a beautiful Pokemon, active or inactive, and just overall does more for my team and I than Yveltal would. Just this idea of a beautiful, strong, majestic stag resonates with me more than a bird of death ever could.
 
I like better Yvetal, but the difference isn't that much. I do think Xerneas is better competitively speaking, but I like better Yvetal's signature move, it is cooler in both appearance, and concept imo.

Also why no Zygarde
 
Xerneas... But Yveltal is not bad either! :)
 
Yveltal, i like it's design more and it's a Dark type which is my favorite type.

Also when it dies, everything in the world dies.
 
I would always pick Xerneas. I don't like Yvelta that much. Something about it's design pushes me away from it.
 
Xerneas is my choice :) I nicknamed the first one I got "Prince" (after Bambi's dad, the prince of the forest lol) and kept it on my team for a while cause it looked so regal and its movepool appealed to me :)


Having said that, Yveltal doesn't lose out by much, I actually prefer its typing cause Dark and Flying are two of my favourites. Being honest this gen was probably the hardest to pick between the two (for me), normally I'm like "well THAT one is clearly the one for me!" which wasn't the case this time around haha :)
 
Yvetal all the way baby. I love his design and his name is pure genius when you pronounce it correctly.
 
They're both really cool Pokemon, but I prefer Xerneas over Yveltal! That's why I played Pokemon X before Y because I wanted to catch Yveltal more! If both Pokemon ever battled it out, I think Yveltal would win though because he just seems more powerful to me.
 
I like them both, but I prefer Xerneas due to me having a preference for cervines, and it reminds me of Princess Mononoke's forest spirit.
 
I'm gonna go with Yvetal because giant draconian raptor > deer with too many antlers. Plus in a battle, I'm going to bet Yvetal's the winner.
