So im getting some money soon, and i'm choosing to buy a gen 5 pokemon game for my Ds, i narrowed the options to Black and white, i want white, because you get zekrom, but i don't want that to be the only reason, could someone debate the pros and cons of the two and maybe help me reach a decision?

 

Don't get white

get black

I personally like Reshiram better, but if you like Zekrom, let's see the other pros and cons:

 

The main difference is White Forest vs Black City. In Black City, you can fight different trainers every day, which is lovely when you're trying to level up at higher levels. However, in White Forest you can get tons of new Pokemon, and the more you visit, the more you can get. Beyond that, the games are basically the same.

 

Either way, I'm sure you'll love whichever one you get, so have fun!

I'm feeling white forest, that kinda concept just sounds fantastic, and i'm guessing that's in white?

Yep. The atmospheres of the games are also different. Black city has more of a modernized, city based feel, while White is more natural. I personally own White myself, I usually just choose the mascot I like more since my brother always gets the opposite version so we can trade. Also, I'd recommend White 2 when you finish White and you're able to get it. It's one of my favorite DS games (And Pokemon games) of all time, it was a really well made game!

Get a 3DS and either Pokémon X and Y.

See that's a great idea but........Im Broke :I

It's pretty much either or. White features more rural areas while Black has more high tech areas.

Also, here's the version exclusive pokemon if  you care about that

Well, doesn't white forest give you Exp if you don't catch pokemon? Would that be at least better?

Thanks weiss, i was really wondering about that, and im glad just that there aren't that many version exclusives, i was really worried

White

 

Zekrom in terms of Attack Stats and weaknesses is better than Reshiram.....You can get Reshiram Later if you decided to get White 2

Personally, I prefer Whiite over Black.

 

You can catch way more pokémons in White, and it's a bit more difficult than Black.

Opelucid city is vastly different.

 

Black:

 

White:

It mostly depends on pokemon and environment you like in each version.

 

If you feel techy, get black, if feeling like the country blues, get white.

 

I got black, since I'm a heavy techy person, and it just suits me. If I need pokemon, there's always trading. 

I assume you already have HeartGold/SoulSilver?

 

Go Black.

i wish, johto is one of my favorite regions but also my least played, idk, i might evantually get it

Choose White and then Black 2.

Well. White has Liligant, one of my favorite grass types! Its a KAWAII flower princess!!!

 

However. Black has a WHOLE LOLITA BASED POKEMON LINE!!!

 

Hmn. Not sure which i'm reccomend....they both have a plus to them P=

I'd go with Black since Reshiram is a boss.
