Which version are you buying

[Sarah]

Someone expressed interest in knowing.

[Netto]

Getting Black, assuming I get it. I don't want to spend any money on anything not necessary at the moment.

[Kurtle]

White

[Corn]

Probably gonna wait for "Grey."

[Secun]

Well, you have to admit, knowing who's getting what does help when you need to mooch various Pokemon, no?

[Jon]

White. Friend is getting Black.

[CommanderJinn]

Probably gonna wait for "Grey."

I thought they said they had no plans of making another instalment this generation (for the DS) They'll probably make one anyways though >.>

They'd have to. Too many damn legendaries that are just way too out of place (Kyuurem is practically this gen's D/P Giratina.(Is that a.. ghost centipede..?)).

[shouri]

I'm going with white version. I want reshiram (black version only), but the pokemon i want to use are all white exclusive so bleh D:

[Dredragon]

White for cool amoeba thing, war-eagle, and cool black legendary that glows bluuueee~

[yoosergio]

White. Solarboy's gonna get Black.

That's the only one from Black I like.



-Though I may not get it 'cause my DS fucked up-

[spencer7x7]

Neither, I'm done with Pokemon.

[-Ghost-]

Going to download because most likely it'll be released around the internet and 100% cracked before the official release, just like what happened to the Japanese versions.

[Solarboy]

Black definitely. I can allways trade the cool white pokemons with Sergio anyways, so yeah.

[Kojo]

White. Catching more Pokemon ftw. All the exclusives I also like better, except for Whimsicott/Erufuun which there is an in-game trade for anyhow.

[Berzerk]

I'll download both. :3

[Secun]

Sure is getting scummy in this thread. :3

[Panacea]

Their style has gotten too weird. So neither.

[Worthyness]

scumbag route and get the english version of both. Prefer Zekrom over Reshiram though, so w/e version has that.

[Berzerk]

I also didn't realize these games are coming out in a week.

[Slaking]

White, for Zekrom. I'll miss Mandibuzz though.
Haven't kept up with the updates so I'll play it without guides this time.

[Link]

I'm not going to get either. I tried the Japanese versions and eh... Pokemon is still the same old game, except with new graphics. :|

[SuperNerd]

Getting both, technically.

Buying Black for myself and White for my friend Max, as an early birthday present.

[Punch]

City > Forest

Definitely Black. I don't even use the legendary in my main party, so I can care less that I'm not getting Zekrom, whose quite beastly.

I just really want that city.. it's 3D <3

[Malthe]

I'm going to download it.
If it's any different and actually entertains me like the first generations did i'll pay for it.
I felt that diamond was a waste of money. So now i download to check it out and then buy if it's worth it.
Will most likely be downloading black.

[Derosis]

Getting white because everyone in Mississippi is getting fucking black version.

[Jedward]

Getting White, but not immediately. Also getting Black, maybe at the same time as White but not immediately.
I have other games to play at the moment.

[Five Second Pose]

Probably starting with White, I have to double-check which one my friend's getting.

[Corn]

I thought they said they had no plans of making another instalment this generation (for the DS) They'll probably make one anyways though >.>

They said they won't make another one for the 3DS.

[Smooth Criminal]

White. I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope that there'll be someone nearby who'll be getting Black.

Personally, I like the overall look and features of Black City over White Forest. However, I like White's exclusives a lot more, and that pretty much sells it for me.

[HighOnMushrooms]

I'm getting White, and my friend is getting Black, so we're just gonna trade over version exclusives :)

[Zelkova]

On second thought, I will probably buy a version down the road. Doesnt matter to me which I get.

[BlueRuin]

I'm getting White and my brother is getting Black.

[Mark]

Cousin is getting Black and getting me White.

Pokebros for life.

[Piggy 2.0]

Gonna get white solely for Zekrom. I don't know shi't about the differences between the two.

[Dredragon]

Black has all the lame pokemon like gothielle, some condor thing, etc, and white has the cool ones like wargle, and reunculus(the cell pokemon).

[FlameChocobo]

White to experience full potential with my DSi.

[Punch]

lol @ black hatred

just like real life =/

im a rebel, so ill be jamming in the city in pokemon black~

[SwordStaker]

Both

@above: Way to tie a racist thing to something not racist..

[Jon]

White to experience full potential with my DSi.

...? Full potential?

[aslemn]

I didn't really like Black & White. Played White until the fifth badge and... kept getting the impression that although the graphics are very good, there are too many unnecessary animations that turn the gameplay very, very slow. Specially in battles :S
Not going to get any, at all.

... everyone knows it's not intended (well, thinks) but it's still kinda funny.. chillax

Turn animations off?

@above: regardless, it's a pretty crass statement.

Really? I've heard from most other people that these games are actually faster than 4th gen, even with animations on.

[aslemn]

Turn animations off?

@above: regardless, it's a pretty crass statement.

I mean, the animations for when you start the battle. Everything it starts, the camera spins, the pokemon shows up, or you have to see that trainer animation throwing the pokeball EVERYTIME you get into a battle. Really, it's pretty well made, but it just makes things go a lot slower.
Maybe i'm used too much to the oldies where battles were twice fast as those, but, i just had this impression. :S Battles were nice in the beginning, but turned into a pain due to the slowness.

[Jon]

Video chat thingy.

Is that exclusive to White? o_O

[Kojo]

Is that exclusive to White? o_O

No o.o

It's exclusive to the DSi, DSiXL, and 3DS.

[Jon]

No o.o

It's exclusive to the DSi, DSiXL, and 3DS.

That's what I thought, but FlameChocobo made it sound otherwise.

They're trying to make it more realistic I think XD I popped my Silver in the other day and the battles used to be this epic blandness thats just amazing. Trainers here, pokemon out, no animation all done. I've heard from a couple people B/W is like playing Red and Blue all over again and arguably even better then that

[CommanderJinn]

This

I think that's what gamefreak was getting at this time. I mean, I'm pretty sure even THEY understand the series was starting to get really bland. Hopefully, the 3DS would let them be creative again with future instalments.

Flamethrower coming at your face, do want.

[Punch]

Flamethrower coming at your face, do want.

:o Surf.

I can picture the tiny water gun built into the 3DS that squirts you when some water-type moves are used.

:o Sweet Scent

Yum.

[CommanderJinn]

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I just checked that Future shop/Best buy was selling Black/White for 34.99, but I already pre-ordered from EB for 39.99 :f4: Any chance they'd give me a refund?

Not a chance, knowing EB/GameStop.

Yeah. As long as you put cash down on it. Gamestop would give me my money back as long it it's only cash. Credit from trade-ins and other promotions turn into store credit.

Edit: I'm playing White version right now. :)

[CommanderJinn]

OK, So, Future shop has this deal, where you can trade in two console games to get both black and white for FREE. I'm wondering if I should do it. The games on their list that I have are:
DKCR
LoZ:TP
Galaxy
Galaxy 2
Brawl
PBR
Super Paper Mario
Wario Ware

[Sarah]

Brawl and PBR

[MetaSeraphim]

Wario Ware and PBR.

[Secun]

PBR and Super Paper Mario.

[Dredragon]

There will be a new PBR, so this was will be outdated, so that and something you find boring.

[Baklava]

White because Reuniclus. ;_;

[Loose]

Waiting for a 3rd version (Gray, Clear, whatever the hell it's called) this time.

[TKWizard]

White because I already played black in Japanese.

[ShinkuDragon]

black, because it's the new red.
