White or Black? (and Why?)

[Dragontail]

I regret getting Black, with all those exclusive pokes in White.

[VaironGod]

White version, the old time feel in certain places is cool and facing iris is cooler than Drayden cause I <3 Iris... So I just like White better. Interestingly though I love all the exclusives to Black version, other than Reshiram, way more than White's exclusives. (Which is why I like Black 2 cause I get the best of both worlds)

In the end though I bought both versions, although I recently lost my Black version, which is saddening, at least it wasn't my main game. I only used Black for doing fun challenge runs.

[*~Silver*~]

I like Zeckrom more than Reshiram, which made White the obvious choice for me when the two were coming out, but I really do prefer White's exclusives over the Black ones.

[Crystal Power]

I bought both :3

[k6666]

White cause zekrom kinda cool
Reshiram bothering me with the feather between its legs

[Gothic-Gothorita]

I chose Pokemon Black due to me taking a huge liking to Mandibuzz. It's just an awesome Pokemon. XD It's stats are just really good though it's physical defense could use some work along with it's moveset. =P

[!jirachi!]

I choose black just because reshiram looks like a frigging angel dragon
I don't like zekrom too much (it looks like a robot)

[floral]

i bought White mostly because i prefer nature.

[Hankka]

I bought Black simply because the shop I bought it from didn't have any White versions left. It didn't really matter though since I didn't really care which version I ended up getting.

[Placa]

White for me, because back then I thought Zekrom looked like a total badass. I still do, but I prefer Reshiram now, which is why I bought White 2, instead of Black 2.

[Nyarlathotep]

Black, easily. There isn't wild Cottonee in White and Whimsicott is a must in my Gen V teams. I also prefer Mandibuzz, Tornadus and Reshiram over Braviary, Thundurus and Zekrom.

You can trade for a Cottonee from a NPC in White though... As for Mandibuzz vs Braviary--Braviary can be seen in Black since Cynthia has one on her team, but in White she also has Braviary meaning that unless you trade Vullaby/Mandibuzz from a friend with Black, there is no way to complete the Unova Dex in White using the GTS whereas Black owners can complete the Dex using only the GTS (obviously not including legends).

[GoldenHouou]

I pretty much always decide which version to get based on the cover Pokémon. Gen 5 wasn't any different.

Not that it matters, because I bought both in the end anyway.

Yep, I know there is a trade available for a Cottonee in White, but I prefer to catch one myself. ^^ And I don't really care about completing the dex, it feels pointless to me, so...

[Azimuth1011]

I prefer White version due to Zekrom and its version-exclusive Pokemon.

[UbersSuck20]

I prefer White because it has better Pokemon overall.

[Drummerdude]

White, because of Reuniclus, Zekrom, and Braviary. Plus I prefer the Opelucid City of White over Black.

[AmbipomMaster]

White, since Braviary and Zekrom appealed to me more. And the fact that I could catch Pokemon in White Forest as opposed to battling in Black City (but I never used it hahah) But I ended up with Black anyway, and that holds all pokemon from Bulbasaur to Genesect

[petrelicious]

Black, hands down.

Firstly, I love the Gothitelle line too much. uwu And i'm a city sort of person, so I prefered Opelucid and Black City rather than roaming around the countryside.
Also, I didn't really like Zekrom's design? I liked how angelic Reshiram looked, plus I needed a fire type more than an electric type in my main team.

I have both Black and white, but use the white version for whenever I want to restart the game or try out a new team.
...Although, I really love Braviary.

i bought black because of Reshiram. Plain and simple, right? Wrong! i saw SO many white-exclusive pokes that i would rather have. i fixed it by having my brother buy white.
