I think this should be a simple enough question. When you buy one of the two versions when a new main-series game comes out, did you ever come to regret your choice and wish you'd bought the other version instead?
I'm not talking about wishing you'd waited to buy the third version, as those are intentionally designed to be a more complete version then the previous games within that region. What I mean is when you bought one of two paired, theoretically equal quality versions of a game did you come to wish you had bought the other version?
I have experienced this only once, with the first fifth gen games. I bought Pokemon White version for reasons I cannot remember and I was already regretting my choice halfway through the game. I'd discovered halfway through that Black and White had a technology and nature theme respectively, and I've always preferred technology and the indoors over nature. I'd initially preferred Zekrom's design but later come to like Reshiram more. I'd also just learnt that Solosis and Gothita were exclusive to White and Black respectively, and due to always considering myself part an admirer of the alternative subcultures, I'd much prefer a Gothic Lolita chick Pokemon on my team as opposed to a cell division.... thing XD
I didn't have any pokemon playing friends to trade with at the time, so i was really stuck with my choices.
Anyway, what about the good people of serebii forums, have you ever wished you bought the other version?
