Which version are you getting, and please explain why. I'm getting white because it seems everyone else is getting black. I want to have the rarer pokemon. It was the reason I bought pearl because more people bought diamond. And don't switch from black to white because of what I said. Go ahead and buy black. ;)

You forgot the option for both.

Anyway, I'm getting Black and the inevitable 3rd version. No real particular reason why I'm getting black, I just choose the color that goes with the protagnoist I'll be playing as; I'm gonna be choosing the guy.

Damn. I should have added "both"..ah, well. So are you saying white is female and black is for guys...? I don't understand why those two colors would go for a specific gender.

I'm going to get Black for the futuristic feel of the game and because I like the color black, but I do like Zekrom more.

No, no... that's not what I meant at all. I mean that Touya (the guy) is referred to as Black in many other things, such as the Pokemon Special manga. Touka, of course being the female counterpart, is referred to as White in said manga. Kinda like the Gold=Ethan, Diamond=Lucas, Sapphire=May deal.

So the way I go about choosing which version is I pick the protagonist and then pick the version that's most associated with them. So if I wanted to play as Touka, I would be getting White.

I'm getting White. I like the exclusives more and always been fond of the old feel. I am an Anthropology major. Not to mention the wife to be is getting black, so we can duke it out and trade our hearts out.

Oh, okay. I never read the manga. And I never knew it went like that in the previous Pokemon games either.

kids are getting black and white, one each, and I chose white for myself though I think its counter intuitive because the white game gets the black pokemon on the cover? I like the white one better :/

Anyway going to get White because Zekrom looks so awesome.

Some areas in Black have a more technological look while White has a more natural look.

One of version exclusive content is the Black City and White Forest.

I pre-ordered White a while back, I want that Eagle Pokemon, he looks awesome, plus I prefer the natural look of White over the tech look of Black.

I prefer the natural look over a technically advanced look, so I'll probably be getting the White version. I could go with either of them, though.

Both,

I was originally getting white but they said the battles are better in black. I'll be using white as my primary one though.

Plus the Pre-Order bonus at Toys-R-Us is just too hard to resist. Having both Zekrom & Reshiram plastered on my wall?

OHYAHH.

Looking through it the differences, I'm gonna get White. I haven't played a Pokemon since Gold and I prefer the natural look.

White, because with White Forest there are way more exclusive Pokemon. :P And I'm more of a collector than a battler anyways.

I'll be getting white, and that's because of the exclusive pokemon Reuniclus and its pre-volutions. Also I think the legendary for White will be more useful and has better aesthetic appeal, for me anyways.

NONE. I said it before and I'll say it again: Pearl will be my last pokemon game. I have played them all since Blue. It was a fun journey, but I've had enough. No more pokemon for me (specially after seeing the 5th gen sprites). The 5th gen pokemon are ice-creams with faces, monkey eevees, a big gus, flying pikachu rip-off, a polar bear with an erection, a mushroom with a pokeball head (poke balls were invented by humans... why this natural monster has a head of something human made???), a gear with eyes, a teddy-bear with flu, etc. And most of the rest look generic.

White version because Zekrom looks cooler.

This.
I don't really care about the more exclusive pokemon in White. Once I get a 3DS, I'll just transfer any necessary pokemon from my Gen 4 games to Black. :P

Dammit I thought I was getting the less popular version. Although Black City sounds cooler than White Forest. I didn't even know about that.

White.

Mainly because the majority of people seemed like they were going to get Black, but it seems pretty even getting close to launch. Oh well, Zekrom and White Forest seem neat. Most likely will play it all night after school on release.

I'm getting white because everyone else want's black. Plus, the legendary on black version has a giant *****(you fill the blank) that i find odd plus (outside of houndoom... ) the exclusives in black are inferior to white... but that's just my opinion.

Actually, judging from this thread's poll, White is the popular one.

I'm getting Black and the boy is getting White. Neither of us really care because we can just trade to one another. I guess the deciding factor was that I liked the look of Reshiram better than Zekrom lol.
