Black or White?

[Jeff]

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.

[Crazy Elf Boy]

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

[Fett One]

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

[Jeff]

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

Black and white for me.

[Poryhedron]

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.

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

First the one (White) when it's out in the US, then the other (Black) when it's out in Europe.

[DarkestLight]

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 -.-...

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

DL MUZ CHOOSE BLACK!LOLZ!88!

[DarkestLight]

NU NEVAZ! I IZ BLAK H8RZ!

[Blademaster]

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.

[Fett One]

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

If that's the case then I might end up going with white.

[Blademaster]

Fett One this isn't PCG get outta here.

[Mr. Brightside]

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.

[Murcielago]

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.

[Houndoom_Lover]

I'll be rockin' Black 'cause I'm awesome like that. I'm holding my high-hopes that old feathercock will be Light/Dragon, 'causing me to futterwacken.

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

[kainashi]

i'll probably get white since zekrom is badass.

[Rossymore]

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."

[Starry Might]

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

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).

[Blademaster]

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.

[Jeff]

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.

[Blademaster]

^Don't get my hopes up like that.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Whoa. A Pokemon game with a substantial plot- Hooleeeeee!!! That would 'cause global pants jizzing!

[Murcielago]

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.

[Ayeun]

I will be getting Grey... By taking a black and a white cartridge, and fusing them together...

[Blademaster]

Don't you mean by just waiting a few months for the Platinum/Emerald/Crystal/Yellow of THIS generation like every one before it...?

[Ayeun]

That works too.

If they DO name it Grey, I will be disapointed.

[DarkestLight]

I wont. Cause that's logic and logic makes cash.

[Weasel Overlord]

It'll be the version-specifics that decide me, as always. Plus I still can't decide whether I like Reshiram or Zekrom the most. ARGH THE CHOICES!!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I want some decent info, and some starter evolutions

[Poryhedron]

That works too.

If they DO name it Grey, I will be disapointed.

Pokémon Zebra!

[Jeff]

Pokémon Asian

[Murcielago]

^Wouldnt that just be called, "Pokemon Yellow"? We already had one.

[Blademaster]

Pokemon Oreo FTW.

[Murcielago]

^"Pokemon Lawsuit" ftl

[Link]

PKMN Whack olol

[Chuck Norris]

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!

[Fat Matt]

Im Getting Pokemon White Zekrom Looks cooler then All the Legends.

[Jeff]

White, because I prefer its version exclusives.

[Fat Matt]

Black City Looks Better then White Forest Though....
