    Default Black or White?

    So, now with the box legendaries revealed, which one do you think you'll be getting?

    I'm currently leaning towards White for a sort of nostalgic reason. Back in the RBY days, a friend of mine, (who often lied to me about Pokemon stuff) told me that there was a White Version in Japan, and I thought that sounded pretty cool. Also, I like the look of Zekrom. The fact that Reshiram might be a Light-type has me considering Black though. The deciding factor might just come down to the version exclusives.

    I will probably choose white, keeping up my tradition of choosing the softer colours.

    I'll most likely get Black since I think Zekrom looks cooler.

    It's actually backwards. Reshiram is Black's legendary and Zekrom is White's.

    Given that we know pretty much nothing about these guys, their appearance has no effect at all on my purchasing decision. The version exclusives, as always, will be my decider.

    I'm with Pory here. Not so much with the legend as with the version exclusives ( Phanpy is a must in my life, as is a better option of ghosties). Honestly, I'm a little put off by them-they are starting to look like Digimon again -.-...

    I've always gone with the first color of the set.

    Gold.
    Ruby.
    FireRed.
    Diamond.
    SoulSilver was just because I had Gold (and Crystal) already...

    So, considering these games are called Pokemon Black and White as opposed to Pokemon White and Black, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be going with Reshiram on this one.

    White is my no.1 choice but considering that there will be more differences in the two versions aside from the different Pokemon, whatever that differences may be, i might get Black as well.

    Well they said there will be more differences per game than ever before, so I'm going to have to wait until further information. But as it stands now I will probably be purchasing White. Only because in my opinion, Zekrom is much cooler, and seems much more powerful in Attack and Defense stats.

    But box creatures aside, I was gunna pick black from the start. When ever I see Black or White, I think that MJ song.

    Let's see now...

    Blue
    Silver
    Sapphire
    LeafGreen
    Diamond
    HeartGold

    I might go for White on this one.

    Though why is the Black Mascot white and the White Mascot black?

    I can also imagine the manga. "Yeah, that kid there, he's Black. And the girl? She's White."

    Yeah, that's weird.

    Actually, I wonder if they did that so they would contrast with the background colors of the boxes.

    Anyhow, right now, I'm leaning towards "Black", because I like Reshiram more than Zekrom (IMHO).

    It's your opinion that you like one more than the other?

    That is both redundant and repetitive.

    Black and white are supposed to have major differences between them. So, with that in mind, I have a theory that would explain the switcheroo.

    I see there being two teams, a good team and an evil team. In white, you team up with the good guys who are trying to catch and contain Zekrom. With Zekrom out of the way, it would be easier for them to fight the evil team since Zekrom personifies evil. In black, you're part of the evil team, which is trying to do the same with Reshiram. So, it's basically like Ruby and Sapphire but with more potential for plot differences.

    If only that could be true. I dont think pokemon would ever go with a good, and evil side... Team Rocket was well... Evil I suppose, but in a criminal make me some money way. Team Magma & Aqua were both just trying to influence the planet on their belief, and Galactic was trying to create a new world... That being said, I dont think we will take part in a un/holy crusade of the pokemon world.

    After looking at the sneak pictures thath have been released, I've surrendered completely to the new versions coming out and even though I don't have a Nintendo DS yet I'll get one just to play the new Black / White games.
    I'll buy both!
