General

Nintendo

What Pokemon version/color did you get for each gen?

Title. And if you got both, which did you prefer more and why?
I'll start.
1st gen:Blue, then yellow
2nd gen: Gold, and then crystal
3rd gen: Got Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, but prefer Sapphire just because I like the color blue more
4th gen: Diamond
5th gen: White one and white 2. Black seemed cooler, but i wanted Zekrom first.
EDIT: Oh and for remade games, I got both fire red and leaf green, but preferred leaf green first until I learned that you got attack deoxys in firered.
And I got Heart gold.

And if you plan on getting X or Y, which one will you get and why?

1) Blue
2) Crystal
3) Ruby/Sapphire (both at the same time)
3.5) Leaf Green (RBYG remake in the 3rd generation, bridges the gap)
4) Diamond/Pearl (Both at the same time)
5) Back Version (Got a used copy from a pawn shop for $10, works like a charm)

Always played the first game in the paring (Gold, Ruby, FireRed etc.) and the third version (Emerald, Platinum etc.). I'm gonna play X for the same reason while my little brother will continue to get the second game in the pairing.

@xsitsu did you pick them for your favorite legendaries or your favorite color or just because...?
Ohhh ok. Is there a specific reason why anyone would pick one over another or does it not matter to some or most people?
