Should Pokemon White owners buy White 2 and Vice Versa?

[Iris Mist]

I always plan on getting both games eventually, one on release, and one a few months later, so it doesn't really matter to me. I own both Black and White, but since Black was the first one I got, I changed it up and got White 2. I'll probably be getting Black 2 sometime after Christmas.

[Charizard86]

I normally go for the version that I prefer, which seems to have the mascot I prefer. Chose REd (Charizard), Silver (Lugia), Ruby (Groudon), Fire Red (Charizard again), Diamond (Dialga), Soul Silver (Lugia again) and Black (Reshiram).

This still doesn't sotp me getting the alternate versions later on at some point, along with the 3rd version updates. Because I got Black though I though Black 2 would have to follow, mainly for continuity purposes.

[AquaWarrior]

I buy one version. That's it. Don't hate, but i think buying the other version in the same region is unnecessary.

[Golden_Charmander]

I always buy both *shrugs*

It sucks that pokemon games don't have multiple save files on one cartridge.

[Darkazure]

Honestly I think we should so we can have the chance to experience things(black city, white forest, etc.) from a new perspective.

[Chaos Rush]

Didn't Game Freak say that we're supposed to get the same color as before? Obviously Black 2 is a sequel to Black, not White. And White 2 is the sequel to White, not Black.

And I don't get why people care about version exclusives so much: Ever heard of the GTS?

[SceptileFan]

Absolutely get them. They're fantastic games. Get the sequel to the one you have though. Otherwise you'll get Reshiram/Zekrom twice.

[Jaguartail]

It doesn't really matter.

[ice33333]

It really depends on whether or not you want to have the same legendary - therefore black kyurem/white kyurem
(Without trading)

[Kanethedragon]

Otherwise you'll get Reshiram/Zekrom twice.

Wanna know what I call this? Bargaining tools.

[Personosrep]

I got Black and Black 2, while my friend is getting White 2, so we could trade for version exclusives and stuff like that

[Personosrep]

i got Black 2, friend gets White 2, everyone happy

[Asmoday]

idk i plan on being white 2 soon since i have white already

[Rakansen]

I got Black 2 for continuity, I liked the version exclusives in White 2 more, but I usually just trade Pokémon from my other games.

[*~Silver*~]

I think so. I played White and bought White 2, and it really did make a great sequel continuing directly from what happened in White. Black 2 was supposed to continue from Black, so I guess yeah, we'd be better getting the same color as before so that our story continues better. I don't really know for sure though, I haven't played Black OR Black 2. xD

[silver_phoenix]

I have Black and Black 2. I also have White, but my boyfriend is currently playing it. In the future when he's done, I will get white 2.

[Thomas Elliot]

My lady bought me White because she knew I liked Zekrom. I was going to switch it up and get Black 2 because it had Black Kyurem and black is my favorite color, but I ended up receiving both games for Christmas.

I know this doesn't matter but when B/W came out, I figured they would follow the pattern and Grey would come out and focus on Kyurem.
I saw Kyurem and thought he was cool, I like the color Grey as well. I was already decided that I had to get that game.

So good job Nintendo, you managed to get 3 games out of me instead of my planned 2!

[MuseHarmonia]

Well, I had Black so I bought Black 2, but that's just me. I'm a little OCD. Plus, it's a sequel to the other so yes, you should. But then again, it doesn't really make a difference... That's my opinion.

[Dracia]

Got Black, then bought Black 2. I prefer this color and Black City. The legend is not a problem - I can just transfer my pokemon from Black and get Reshiram this way. Pity I do not have two DS consoles but I will find a way. On the other hand White Forest looks pretty...

[Lion Demon]

Pokemon Black & White 2 or Pokemon White & Black 2

Not only will you get as much benefit with the version exclusive opposites: You're not buying "more or less the same game".

[Fallen Icarus]

i got black first, but then i got white 2...
i did this because i wanted the version exclusives (reunculis...)
also, because you need to see all the pokemon to get that shiny haxorus, i chose a different version
so, black/white--> a tiny bit of continuity-->black/white 2
black/white--> version exclusives --> white/black 2
obviously, its up to you

[thecakeisnotalie]

It's very nostalgic when you get black then black 2 and same with the white versions, but I usually get both. I kinda ruined the nostalgia for myself when my main game is black and then I got white 2. It doesn't really matter either way though.

[Zyon]

It doesn't really matter which one you get, weather you first get white then White 2/Black 2 or vice versa. Unless your wanting version exclusive then you want to get the sequel to the one you got first.
For me it didn't matter at all cause I got White and my sister got Black. When W2/B2 were released I got both and pretty much got my sister's black version now, so I'll have no problem getting all the pokemon.(she's pretty much quit playing pokemon all together. An just to be frank she was never really into it in the first place. She probably just played it cause I did lol).

If you do get get white then black 2 or vice versa, you can always try GTS or even GTS Neg. IMO though GTS is just darn right frustrating, you have to be lucky just to find a decent trade without seeing it all cluttered with them wanting a legendary lv 9 and under -_-

[dragonskull]

I've got white 1 and black 2. I don't care about which version is better than the other one for certain aspects of the game, I'd say that story wise every part has the same story overall but if you'd like total continuity it's maybe more interesting for taking the same "color" than which you already own ;-)

[Cronkr]

I chose to go with Black 2 since I had gotten Black first (and then white later) and since I'm using a Black DSi. Like everyone else has said, it is purely personal preference and whether you have access to version exclusives another way.
