Poll: Which Should I Get: Pokemon Black or White?

[soren7550]

Ok, so I may get the newest Pokemon game, but I'm not sure which to get. Unlike the other installments, which I picked based on the color, this time around I'm going based on what each game offers. I was thinking on going w/ Black, but when I checked the exclusives to each version [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_Black_and_White_Versions#Version-exclusive_Pok.C3.A9mon], I saw that one of the Pokemon that I actually love the design of (Braviary) is exclusive to White. Also, I found out that White has an area (White Forest) that has a bunch more Pokemon that are only found in that game. But I like Reshiram more than Zekrom, and I have more use for Black City (trainer battles if I remember right) than White Forest overall. But Black City, what kind of Trainer battles do they have? Are they regular ones or are they like the Battle Tower ones?

So, which should I get (and no, getting both isn't an option)?

(also, a bit off topic, but how do I get the Liberty Pass and how long do I have left to get it?)

I'm not getting the game but if I had to choose I would go with white just because the legendary looks cooler.

 

[C95J]

I heard White is better because you get more pokemon to choose from, but that may be wrong.

Just get both like me

Braviary is amazing, but it isn't that useful for single player purposes as you can't get it until right before the Elite 4.
With that said, I chose White just because I already had the Japanese version of Black and can trade any Pokemon over.

And White Forest is for "breeding" only. All of the Pokemon are level 5, but if you want to grind up the Pokemon then I'd recommend getting that.

Both.

You're not rasist are you?

Seriously though, go through the differences and make a list of the things you'd actually want. The one with the higher number of them you buy. If it's a tie then just flip a coin.

I got White because I love the legendary.

Oh and the Liberty Pass depends on where you live, UK is April 22nd

 

[crazyhyena645]

it really dosent matter which one you get you are going to find pokemon you love and hate in each, the only thing that you know about each is the legendary and which one you want.

Petilil > Cottonee

i say white on that basis, not much else to go on...

 

[WrongSprite]

I got White because I prefer forests to cities. That's about it.

White, for the supermodel of the Aryan race! We must rule with an iron fist! Are you impure? Don't you like White? Are you against your own perfect race?! Join us brother, and we shall take down the dark banner! We shall show that light only shines from us!

(PS: This comment that I just made would be super hilarious if the TC wasn't white and/or has picked black already, c'mon, set me up for the joke.)

My cottonee rules! I got Black because White sold out. To be honest I know a lot of people with the game so exclusives don't matter cause I can just trade.
Go with your heart. Friendship is the most powerful tool a trainer can have.

I don't know where the last part came from. Or indeed what I'm trying to say.

COTTONEE FTW!

You should get black. Because white is the more common one, the wtc trades for their exclusives should be somewhat more reasonable.

 

[LeonLethality]

Black has overall some better stuff in my opinion but I have both.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

You should get neither and put your money towards a big-boy game.

 

[Kpt._Rob]

I liked the exclusives for white better, so if I were you that's what I would get. But who's to say you couldn't like the exclusive's for black better?

 

[emeraldrafael]

I went with White. Simply for White forest and the asthetic feel of it being nature-y.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

White has more Pokemon, but Black has more items. Specifically, Black allows the player to purchase items (such as evolution stones) that aren't available for purchase in White. White version showcases Triple Battles, but Black version showcases Rotational Battles. This is a list [http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/blackcitywhiteforest.shtml] of the differences between Black City and White Forest.

What masterbate furiously to gun porn and women desperately pretending to not have vaginas?

I kid, I kid.

OP: What are your friends getting? I would get the opposite version myself as then you can trade and stuff. However it doesn't mae that much difference so go wild

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

I got white. Because I like Zekrom.
That's the only reason.
