White or Black? (and Why?)

[Sekka245]

I got White, not because of Zekrom, but because of all the version exclusive content. I hardly use Legendaries, and I only plan to use Zekrom in just one battle. (the one it has to be used in)

I got White version. I was getting the game at the same time with 3 of my friends. Out of these friends, 2 were planning on Black and 1 was planning on White, so I tentatively decided upon White to even it out. Then, when I looked up the version differences, I was sure I wanted White. The White Forest just completely outweighs Black's exclusives, in my opinion.
The only problem is that I'd much rather have the Fire Dragon... But so do all of my friends, so no chance of trading (except for Pokédex reasons). Oh well.

Now one of my other friends, who has yet to get the game, can't decide. He wouldn't be evening out the version count among us, and he'd prefer to have Reshiram as well. But he agrees of the value of White Forest over Black City, and he likes the sound of triple battles over rotation battles.
(None of us have gotten to a triple or rotation battle yet in our games, so we don't know what's better/cooler. We're all intentionally not looking up stuff so we enjoy our first playthrough by finding stuff out on the fly.)

I got White. I'd decided on it because it seemed like everyone in my area was getting Black at the time. I'm glad i did now, because i really wanted Braviary on my team and I prefered not to trade for it. I haven't experienced White Forest yet... I want it to be especial. ;-)

Black because of Reshiram and I want to pick the opposite of what I wanted at first. ^_^

 

[Paradoxe]

I'm pretty happy with black, I just wish I could switch Gothita with Solosis.

 

[Seem]

I was going to choose White based on the Pokemon since I really wanted a Reuniclus on my team.

I ended up getting both versions, haha!

 

[LordLati]

I decided on black, mostly because of the battles in the black city. Luckily for me you can trade for a Petili as Cottonee looks fairly homely...

The Legendary pokemon I care about happen to be part fighting so the whole mascot thing doesn't effect me... and while Reshiram has a great typing I think it could have looked a tad better, not that I’m complaining.

 

[Night_Walker]

Got White yesterday and started playing it... ended up getting Black today.

Never been grabbed as much by a Pokemon game as I have by this gen and I've only just got started on it

 

[(P.O.K.E.M.O.N)]

Loving White (L)
- Color and version exclusives - but I hate dragon pokemon so Zekrom isn't in my list of most wanted :S
And the National Pokedex is amazing with all pokemons *_*

 

[.:Alex:.]

White.

I prefer Zekrom. I prefer Thundurus. I prefer the nature theme. I prefer the concept of White Forest, to Black City. And Opelucid City definitely looks and sounds much better in White. The colour scheme of the Black version almost gives me a migraine...

 

[that saucyrabbl3]

I got black, Reshiram has much better typing and I like its stats more (special over physical) also Black City is very cool. I do have to admit that white has better version exclusives besides the legendarys, but I can easily trade them over. Also despite the fact that I didn't know before I got it I'm definitely happy about rotation battles (I don't really get why they're version exclusive though)

 

[FatalOmega]

I grabbed White for White Forest. My first day discovering it I was able to find a shiny could not be any more satisfied with my decision.

 

[TerraWolf]

Black cuz I chose before exclusives were released

 

[Sizerdrix]

I went White, mainly for the white forest, but also for Thunderus. Sad that I haven't gotten a Breloom yet, but should get one later from the GTS.

 

[creature]

i chose white cos of the nature tyle theme i raised half the team in diamond then realise icant trade 4th gen with 5th can anyone help me out with this? if you can can you pm me ? thanks

 

[smartie]

Some of the version exclusives for Black are just alot better. But White forest is soooooo much better then Black City. I just had to get White.

 

[Pseudo Lovely]

At first I wanted Black since I like Reshiram more than Zekrom, but I ended up getting White in the end. I don't use legendaries (this is actually my first time using one as a regular part of my team with Victini) so that helped with my decision. The nature theme and version exclusives were more of what set my decision on White in the end since I like White's exclusives more than Black's and I like nature over technology.

I may end up getting Black at some point or I may end up waiting for the 3rd game to come out.

 

[AuraChannelerChris]

I bought White just because of Iris being the leader there, but I started to appreciate the other features.
