Poll: Black or White?

[rancher of monsters]

Pokemon of course, I'm not trying to start a race war in the games forum. Personally I think I'll go black because the legendary looks cooler. Penny arcade seems to agree.

EDIT: I didn't know the pokemon were reversed in color so I think I'm actually buying White so I can get Zekrom.

I flipped a coin, Black it is

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

Good game, classic and full of inno- oh, Pokemon!

White, I think, was a while ago that I checked the differences...Got no DS, so there's not much reason for me to think too strongly about it.

I have heard about these pokemans, what are they?

 

[Who Dares Wins]

White has the cooler legendary so White definitely. I chose the first time I heard the legendary Pokemon were switched.

 

[captaincabbage]

White. It's got more of the pokemon that I like and it has White Forest, which has even more rare and unique pokemon in it, which rocks.
It's perfect too, because my gf wants more of the pokemon in Black, so we both ordered the ones we wanted

Stupid Penny Arcade. Pokémon White is in fact the version that lets you catch the "strong, black pokémon" and vice versa in a reference to yin and yang.
*nerd off*
Edit: It's also a little disappointing that Penny Arcade isn't above that joke. At what point is society going to be able to hear the words "black" and "white" without flipping out?

First off, anyone who makes jokes about 'Dickwolves' and 'Fruitfuckers' clearly doesn't consider themselves above much. Second, at least they were clearly being sarcastic about it, but I have to say, if you're waiting for the end of race jokes you might want to bring a magazine or something beacuse it's gonna be a long wait. Hell, we could be colonizing other planets, and people will still make race jokes.

"You know what they say about those Mars-Canadians..."

White, although for once it was a fairly tough call.

Not that I'd realised they'd even been released here in Europe until yesterday. Shows how much attention I've been paying...

Out of interest, what DO they say about those Mars-Canadians?

 

[Arkvoodle]

I usually go by best version exclusives.


The only one I want this time is Wargle, so White it is!

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I was going to buy White because of the legendary, but I'll get Black instead because I like the locations in Black better. Either way, I'm still probably just going to get White once I beat it.

I'd tell you, but I'd probably be put on probation.

White. Because Braviary will fuck your opponents shit up.

 

[Daveman]

Personally I think I'll go black

NOOOooooOOOooo!!! Do you not realise that once you go black you don't go back?!

I personally could not care less, although I hear white is generally favoured... I'll save the actual racism for sickipedia.

 

[standokan]

I'm rolling a dice on the day I'm gonna buy it, or flip a coin.

 

[Jasper Jeffs]

Ever since the first Pokemon I've always got the blue one, and my brother has got the red one. I'm getting white this time, he's getting black. They've been slowly getting less and less blue and red, and it's been more of me getting the lighter colour (like silver), and him getting the darker one (gold), so it makes sense to get white. I always get the water starter too, and he gets fire. Strange tradition.

 

[Lizardon]

Black. Simply because it has strong trainers for me to raise my team. White has more old Pokemon available, but with all the trading options on-line, plus the dream world, version exclusive Pokemon aren't as hard to get.

White. Because Braviary will fuck your opponents shit up.

Agreed. He's one of my new favourite Pokemon

 

[Drunkenclam]

I've seen the pokemon from black and white and there shit! Can't beat the first generation

 

[Scarim Coral]

I bought White since it got Zekrom, Braviary and Reuniclus (I am so adding that to my party).
