Pokemon/Gaming Dorkery

[eredien]

So, I just visited the Pokemon Black and White page.

Things that look really cool:
Alternate cities depending on which game you have
Video Chat
Pokemon Dream World (mostly this just looks adorable)
Seasons changing, with different pokemon in different seasons

I can't decide if I should (eventually) get Pokemon Black or White. Any thoughts?
Also, are there any benefits to pre-ordering I should know about?

Hopefully, by March I will have enough money to buy it.

Sadly, there is no game event in Boston (though there is one in Indianapolis, rax!). :(

I have been playing White in Japanese and it is a very good Pokémon game. I have not seen any good preorder bonuses; waiting until you definitely have the money is a fine plan. (There are barely any preorder bonuses at all; Toys R Us has some kind of wall cling but meh.) If you want to transfer any of your pokémon from earlier games, you will need to borrow a second DS from someone and play a silly minigame.

I'm driving a van full of nerds up to the event in Indy, barring catastrophe. :)

Have you finished your Pokédex yet?

Not yet; I hope to fill it this weekend via the poke wifi community.

Also, your icon is adorkable. Esp. since it is black-and-white related.

I have... only two Gen V pokemon icons! I am surprised! Maybe I was trying not to spoil people? Clearly I will need more soon.

The different seasons thing sounds visually cool but it also sounds like catching seasonal pokemon is going to be a pain.

I dunno. I'm kind of looking forward to it.
