Which side do you choose?
I always make my Pokemon decisions based on which version has the cooler looking exclusive Pokemon. Once we find that out I will choose.
There is no information regarding the differences between the two versions as of yet, thus one cannot make an informed decision, only an asinine one.

This is also my problem. I mean, I chose Y using a very off-the-wall reason, based on chromosomes (my girlfriend at the time got X), but in the past it was usually based on what was exclusive to each version. I wanted Black, for example, because I loved the cold sci-fi look for Black City vs White Forest (though it could be argued that white forest was the better and cooler area gameplay-wise).
So, yeah, at this time I have NO idea. Probably will get the version that my significant other won't get, for trading purposes.
I won't be getting either unless it has MMO game mechanics. Fighting AI trainers who do the same thing over and over is boring. Fighting humans who are unpredictable is fun.
I'm not going to be able to pick until we at least see the cover legendaries, if not the list of exclusives to each version. And if there's some big difference to the region between versions like Black and White I'll want to know that first too.
But in a total void of info? Moon.

Same. For me it goes Coolest looking pokemon > coolest looking cover > coolest sounding name.
If I were to pick one, I'd go Sun. Moon's not all that great, it just takes you to the secret room; Sun allows you to refill your heart containers, deals damage to all enemies in the room, and reveals the map.
@excitable_misunderstood_genius: This is the joke I came here to make, but yours was funnier.
Anybody worth anything will wait to see what the actual exclusive Pokemon/zones/etc. are first before committing to one.

To be fair I stole the basis of the joke from someone at The AV Club.
Topic is a waste of time since no one knows anything about the games.
I have some insider info. You play as a young male or female who will capture and train the titular Pokemon and journey across the world. Along the way you will be at odds with a nefarious organization that uses Pokemon to achieve their dastardly goals. If you don't give up you can finally become a Pokemon Master and maybe learn a little something about friendship, perseverance and love along the way.
Don't mean to spoil anything, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Lunatone and Solrock will have Mega Evolutions. So if you even care about such a worthless mechanic, that might sway which version you'll get.
I always go with the Blue equivalent first, so Moon. I'll get the other version eventually though, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
@matatat: I'm the opposite. Got Sun, lookin for that trippy orangutan from moon.
I don't know, I'd wouldn't mind having either one. With Sun you can get Passimian, which is a Rugby playing monkey and Alolan Vulpix. But with Moon, you can get Alolan Sandshrew and Drampa. Whatever, both versions have the sleeper contender for best Pokemon of 2016...
Rowlet, Litten and Popplio are all strong, but this guy here deserves some recognition!
