Why do people like pearl better than diamond (or vice versa)? I like pearl better than diamond just well, because, and I don't hate diamond or anything, I just prefer pearl (because pearl is my birthstone). But, I think that there isn't a difference, I mean, UNLESS you count the fact that you can catch different pokemon like dialga in diamond and palkia in pearl. Is one better than the other? Why? Does anyone else have the same question?

I think the reason why people prefer one version over the other is that they like the version-exclusive Pokemon better. As in, someone who strongly prefers Palkia would like Pearl better
 
I chose:

Red over Blue because Red is my favourite colour.
Silver over Gold because I prefer the colour silver and silver jewellery to gold, and I think Lugia looks awesome.
I chose Ruby over Sapphire because of the colour red, same as Red VS Blue
I chose Pearl over Diamond because Diamond was sold out

I then got the other versions later on.
 
The only differences between the two are the Pokemon you get. People make decisions based on that (Mostly). Although I did find a lot more people chose Diamond, probably because Pearl doesn't sound quite as 'manly'. I chose Pearl and I'm glad I did, but I have Diamond as well, to me I (used to, before I could afford to get both games) based it off of what Pokemon I could get it which games, I liked Palkia better than Diagla.
 
Meh, I got all the games at once, only because I wanted to catch 'em all... with the exception of first-gen; my sister got Blue, and I got Red (I think because Charizard looked cooler than Blastoise... weird, since I always chose Bulbasaur as my starter...). But every other gen I've owned both, and I picked up all five third-gen games at once... Although there has always been a game that I make my 'main' while the others are just there to help with collecting (Red and Emerald were my mains in third-gen, but with fourth-gen, all three games are serving some sort of purpose more than just collection).
 
For D/P people mostly decide which one to get based on if they want Dialga or Pakia. The rest of the version excusives can be traded for pretty easily. There aren't really any other reasons, so I'll be closing this.
