I'd get white It has better version exclusives (not including the cover legendary dragon, I never do at elast cause I never use them or really any legendary) and I like the nature feel more.

Both eventually, but on release Imma get White.

Mainly because Washibon/Wargle and Zekrom are in that game, and they're my favourite pokemon this generation. Although I will miss Black City.

Definitely going for Black, but thats cause I like Reshiram more than Zekrom anyway. Plus I'd rather fight a cool old man as the last gym leader than some girl with hair twice the size of her body.

neither, pokemon peaked for me at gen 2. at least in gen 2 you could go back and replay previous areas and you had a semi-realistic chance of geting a reasonably full pokedex without scrificing your entire life and both kidneys. No, if they have a new gen where you can go back and replay all of the previous regions, or a game where all of the non-legendaries can be found or evolved into and they get rid of the trade to evolve pokemon idea, I'll consider. Otherwise, i might download the emulator if I have a really boring holiday, but it's unlikely.

Also, what's the difference?
Besides the standard "version exclusive" rigmarole, it's now got version exclusive areas (Black City and White Forest.) But yeah, other than that, same game.

Neither. I played back in Red/Blue and a couple of the spun off games from that (Pikachu Pinball, Pokemon Flash, and others) and the only thing that's changed is the list of pokemon you can find. Red/Blue was very simple with each pokemon having one "type" and most of those being very easy to track. Then things got more complicated in the next couple of generations as pokemon had two "types" to keep track of out of a larger list of strengths and weaknesses. The world map hasn't change much at all as far as I've noticed. Towns and even cities are still cut off from one another because nobody has bothered to clear a straight path between important places and keep them from being blocked. The only way to get around is to either have a pokemon that can fly, or go by foot through the wilderness and be attacked at random by aggressive critters or other trainers who have nothing better to do.

In other words, the game has barely changed from one generation to the next and I'm not going to spend money on a copy of a copy of a game that got boring before I was even a third of the way through. That's probably why I never got too into all the Mario/Sonic/Megaman games that didn't have some bold print of what new idea was added to make that particular game more unique.

White, OMG white, no comparison.

I do NOT want that white pokemon with the fur-dick.

I'm sorry, but since it's been pointed out to me it's ALL I CAN SEE. It's like a dead pixel on a monitor!

Both. I end up getting both down the line, anyway. One for competitive play, pokemon holding between versions, and basically to never get reset. And the other one for replaying the game.

Stupid one save slot...
This. Although with these ones I barely feel compelled to get one, so if I do come around to it, I'll go Black. Maybe.

EDIT: Or, I'll wait for "Gray". They're always better. Either that or I'll hold out for RemakeRuby & SelloutSapphire.
