With Pokémon Black/White coming in just a few short weeks,  I we all have some hard questions to ask ourselves. Do I go to the midnight launch?  Should I buy the strategy guide? Will I be able to catch ”˜em all? However, none of these questions are as important as the one we all must answer when we get to the front of the line at our local Gamestop: Black or White?
Anyone who has played a Pokémon game knows that there are always two versions of the game. If you want to catch every single Pokémon you either need to buy both versions, or trade up with a friend who has the other game. True PokéManiacs will spend hours with nothing but a Juice Box and a belt full of Pokémon trying to find every last creature in the game.
This generation of Pokémon adds a new element to this idea of splitting one game into two.  Each version has it’s own area that is exclusive to its game.  If you own Pokémon Black, you and your Pokémon get to visit the Black City. While if your game happens to the White version, you can forget about that trip to the city and and instead are headed to the White Forest.
So how am I going to choose which game to get on March 6th? Â Well I’ve got to say, the Black City look a lot like Tron so that’s probably where I’ll be headed. Aw but how crafty you are Nintendo, you must have known my girlfriend will need a copy as well.
Yes…you can have all my coins.  Two copies of Pokémon please.  Which version(s) is everyone  picking up?
I'll be picking up the White version. I never catch them all but I love the RPG elements and the light hearted story that can be found within each title.
They should make a commercial for these games featuring Michael Jackson singing it doesn't matter if you're black or white.
Im going pokemon Black!
The reason simply put is black city where there are substantially more trainer battles with a higher level than in white forest therefore making leveling up my pokemon and getting through the game innevitably easier/quicker.
I'm getting the Black version. I have about 9 friends online and in RL that will be picking up the game, and we kind of divided ourselves up. The exclusive pokemon in Black are the ones I want more, but I can't wait for the chance at 150 new pokemon.
I'll be getting Black version. Can't remember it's name ( reshiram, I think) is the exclusive legendary and is a Dragon/Fire type for once. And looks awesome.
Pokemon White version is my calling.
I just got Pokemon Heart Gold for $20 at BestBuy last week, so I am definitely going to stick with that one for a while. It's my 4th Pokemon game, and hopefully I won't drop it as they have never applied to me.
Well once you go black you will never go back
And once you go white everything will be alright.
Its really down too which can fufill the users needs.
Black as I am interested in a city environment as opposed to the tried and true forest.
White for me. Zekrom and Braviary look awesome.
its kinda weird but me and my friend always end up getting the opposite pokemon game, and we have never planed it out. so of cource i will be getting black and he will get white. cant wait to move up all of my already awesome pokemon to the new region
my new pokemon team will be
palkia
manaphy
zapados
moltres
articuno
and the legendary that comes with black (forgot the name)
White i like the forest better than the city
White Forest = Half-Life Ep2. Buying White
I'm not sure yet, as I won't be getting it on Launch day I'll ask my friends what they think the better version is and get that.
Also don't get the strategy guide, just use bulbapedia, it's the ultimate pokemon strategy guide, in wiki form!
