Double post... and my text didn't even show up in the original post... weird.
So, i'm trying to decide which version i should get, but don't know the differences between the two.
Could any one help with this predicament? Like, what are the version exclusive pokemon, or any areas that are different?
Pokémon Black/White
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Mar 06, 2011
Pokémon Black and White are the fifth generation of Pokémon games for the Nintendo DS. Both introduce several new game play innovations to the series including a more complex battle system, fully-animated 3D models and environments, extensive online integration, and a refresh of the entire selection of Pokémon.
Differences between Black and White?
Other than the Pokemon exclusive to one version or the other, can all the old Pokemon be caught in both versions?
The differences aren't as extensive as they may seem either. The two gym leaders use identical Pokemon and both play a part in the story regardless of version. There are very few triple or rotation battles. Pokemon missing from your version can be traded over the GTS. And the Black City / White Forest take a lot of time to build up before they become useful and require linking with someone with the opposite version frequently to do this.
Black is more useful, because you can battle trainers in the city, that really helps for leveling up, where as the wild Pokemon in White can be imported from the previous games or traded for.. but again, there's not much difference and I wouldn't worry about which version to get too much.
" So with these versions do they include all Pokemon from the previous generations? "Since no one answered, yes they do, but only after you beat the game do they open up.
That is a pretty sick graphic.

Oh man that is tough... I am surprised by all of the differences actually. Wouldnt you rather catch rare pokemon that arent fully evolved then to battle rare fully evolved pokemon?
