From I’ve seen it’s still mixed. Probably the 1st gens since Ruby and Sapphire to have a truly split fanbase.
Picked Violet cause Purple is one of my favorite colors and Ceruledge.

still violet
ride koraidon looks too goofy and the ancient paradoxes are uggos
Sorry Violetbro the primal Jigglypuff, Donphan, and Salamence sealed the deal for me. I still prefer Ceruledge though.
Thinking Violet still for Ceruledge, but I'm kind of unsure still.
I pre-ordered violet because the legendary looks like a bike instead of a lizard with an inflated scrotom and after playing 10 hours of Scarlett I'm glad I chose violet
i cant find a detailed list of preorder bonuses for burgers. where did you preorder if youre from the united shootings?
the eshop is the best one
We get trash from general preorders in burgerland. The only reason to do it is if you want a physical release and you want to get it at midnight at specific gamestops
Still waiting for Violet. Scarlet is fine but I like Miraidon better and the legendary is so involved in the story.
I like everything about Violet better but I don't like that the professor is dead. I don't want him to be dead. Silly reason but it still bothers me.
I can guarantee the real professors will come back to life and everyone will live happily ever after at the end of the DLC story
I downloaded Scarlet because I'm an impatient frick but possibly will start over in Violet once that's possible
Same reasoning as you, OP. Except it's THE favorite color. And Miraidon also looks cool.
Both professors are dead, no?
Barely started the game but the storyline actually sounds pretty cool for once, at least going by the spoilers I've seen. At least it's something new
violet is still the superior choice.
I'm not gonna touch a filthy scarlet copy, even if it is downloaded from the internet
>truly split fanbase
???
I was going to say the opposite, this feels like swsh where the overwhelming majority prefer one version (scarlet) over the other (violet).
I'm on the violet train though, I like the purple bike. You're going to see more violetchads than normal here though just because of the psychological nature of the thread.
do people really prefer the caveman protos over the mechas? isn't it just because it was the only playable version?
>do people really prefer the caveman protos over the mechas
Overwhelmingly yes. If you were in any of the leak threads the common theme was that people hated how all the future mons were just mechs
they're pretty much all just X pokemon with a metallic paintjob and all have the same chromed out shiny so it feels boring and samey
As opposed to Alolan Diglett inspired cavemen?
well the past ones aren't that different from each other either. angry eyes and fangs, ok
I'm not telling you what's true or not lol, just saying that's what the common opinion is. People liked how most of the past ones had design differences from their original mon (amoonguss moss/legs/tail, salamence mega wings, jigglypuff hair, magneton legs and hair), whereas the future ones outside of galladevoir were "base pokemon but mechanical instead"
I fully prefer the future forms myself, but it can't be THAT unfathomable to understand why others don't
magneton's legs are the one thing I'm really not sure about lol. it's pretty silly
The Flintstones > The Jetsons, let's be real here.
Ironic since when they were announced everyone was saying Violet
I just don't like the idea of wearing orange so Violet it is
Still picking Violet I prefer futuristic shit
I wanna see PVirizion
i always pick the second version no matter what. luckily the legendary is much better looking this gen
I am getting violet. If I miss out on waifus, porn sites can fill that void.
Gamefreak is moronic. One game gets a better girl. The other has a legendary I want.
I always go for the likely unpopular choice. So with Violet, I stay.
>Sina
>Lunaala
>Miraidon
Based waifu taste
What were the most popular ones for the other Gens?
Gen 1: Red/Fire Red obviously, because of CHARIZAAARD from KANTOOOOO.
Gen 2: Silver/Soul Silver, given how Lugia was advertised in 2000. I like Ho-Oh more though and most of the sprites in Gold are better than the Silver sprites. Crystal is better than both though.
Gen 4: Diamond/Brilliant Diamond (Dialga looks unnatural and nothing like a Pokemon, but at least it's better than a phallic dragon, Diamond also has the better version exclusives). Platinum is better than both though.
Gen 5: White/White 2 (White has far more version exclusives than Black by virtue of having White forest)
Gen 6: not sure, but I want to say Y because Yveltal is more masculine
Gen 7: Moon/Ultra Moon I like Solgaleo more, but I noticed a lot of people online consider Lunala to be the superior design
Gen 8: Sword, Zacian is hilariously more broken than Zamazenta
I preordered Scarlet even though I prefer Miraidon because I don't like how all the Future forms are called "Iron something" and prefer the Legendary Beasts to the Musketeer quartet (though the Musketeers are my favorite Gen 5 legendaries).
How could i not pick violet?
awful taste
Me when I lie
>be me
>two switches, one hacked
>bought violet, pirated scarlet days ago
>can trade with myself
>don't have to ascribe to moronic tribalism
Simple as
Can you trade and play with legit copies if you’re playing on a hacked switch?
Haven’t booted my hacked switch up in months I was just gonna play on emulator but this might sway me to play on that instead
Could in swsh and lgpe. Local trade only
I literally just always get the "Blue-colored" or "Blue-Adjacent Legendary" games with zero other consideration for what is included. Started as a coincidence, then just became tradition. Some games I had to be creative with my justification if it was not remotely blue.
I think Scarlet has the better paradoxes and professor, but I would absolutely much rather ride Miraidon. Just going to trade for the exclusives and deal with chad-dad.
I'm going with violet purely because I hate the school uniforms in scarlet. Can always trade for exclusives.
I legitimately woudn't play the game with that dumb running lizard homosexual as the only option so Violet all the way.
I chose Violet because the orange uniforms and architecture look ugly. Don't care about version exclusives since I can just trade with scarletfrens
Picked violet because my gf wanted to pick Scarlett. I figured I would let him pick the good one this time.
>gf
>him
hmm
Miraidon is the better looking mount all around and the better of the two Legendaries designwise in my opinion, Ceruledge looks better than Armarouge and the future paradoxes look more usable in general. I'm sticking to my guns here.
>Picked Violet cause Purple is one of my favorite colors and Ceruledge.
same but also future mons are better tbh
Still picking violet since I’m not a fan of koraidon and just like future stuff more than unga bunga stuff
Can u upload violet?
The only pokemon from this gen that I love is Ceruledge so I'm still team Violet.
gf wants to play scarlet and the uniform colors for scarlet make you look moronic so i wasn't going to play scarlet anyway
Violet
>Miraidon
>Chad professor
>Uniforms
>Ceruledge
>Iron Valiant
Scarlet
>Great Tusk
easy choice
Im a scarletbro but violets mecha pokemon's shinies are very uniform and follow the same theme which i like
I haven't really seen anything that would make me want to go Scarlet yet. Also, my favorite color is violet, so how could I not pick violet
scarlet is easily the most cucked shittiest version for beta Black folk of all time in history of forever
heres your attention!
>Switch eshop best sellers page
Violet: #2
Scarlet: #8
Both bundled: #17
Violet is ahead of Scarlet on the Amazon bestseller page for games, too.
I think OP meant since the game leaked. The preorder pages are based on all time correct? If so, I think violet was definitely more popular up to a week ago, but now it feels like it flipped and the sales will probably need more time to catch up. But I also don't fricking know jack shit about how any of this works, I'm just spitballing
The overwhelming Majority of people pre-ordering is not going to change or care for leaks and the leaks may as well encourage more poeple to go Violet as well, Violet is by far the more popular choice on every front and it hasn't changed since pre-orders started. And I'm not even getting Violet, Koraidon is way sexier.
People like robots better than longer hair, believe it or not.
Violetbro here. Legendary ability + Mecha Delibird or whatever sealed the deal for me.
I preordered Scarlet because Violet is a color for girls
You preordered scarlet because you want Whiplash from riding koraidon
purple is the color of kings and nobility
violetchildren proving again how autistic they are
Purple was literally a color for nobles back then since the dye was ridiculously hard to extract.
I think this time both colors are on the girly side of things
Grugposters will choose Scarlet. Gigachad posters will choose Violet.
homie one of the game has fricking mecha pokemon while the other has stinky caveman dogshit pokemon this isn't a difficult choice
The actual mechas don't look nearly that good. I really wanted to like the mecha T-tar and mecha Hydreigon, but they're nothing special. Meanwhile scarletchads get a 10/10 Salamence and Jigglybunga.
Roaring Moon looks like shit. It’s fan art tier
I get mecha Godzilla, mecha mothra and fricking mecha ghidora. Choice is indeed easy
I like Miraidon better and prefer the purple uniforms.
Since I' m a huge mecha fan I like most of the paradox Pokemon already though I still am surprised GF went that hard in one direction.
I like Violet for purple better but I prefer the ancient past theming more. Also Violet has pokemon I like, but Scarlet has new versions of them. Tough choice.
I prefer fantasy to sci-fi and don't care for mecha in general, but Violet takes this easy for me. The Violet paradox mons seem much cooler, especially Iron Moth. And I hate that they made the box legends into fart cushions, but I hate even more that they didn't commit to the bit with Koraidon and now we just a cool lizard thing with a giant throat tumor.
purple is a nicer colour.
i have been choosing between the games this way since red and blue and i will not stop now so help me god.
The only version that absolutely mogs the other barring third versions is White and white 2 over Black and black 2
HOW THE FRICK DO I CHANGE MY POKEMONS MOVES
I like pretty much every Scarlet exclusive mon better but I can't stand the hideous orange shorts/pants, which version should I buy bros?
I thought you could change your clothes in this game.
There's 4 variations of the uniform, that's it.
All the Scarlet Paradox are unquestionably better, but you can just trade for them, or participate in raids to get them... but if I don't buy Violet I'll be forced to stare at the ugly orange shorts forever.
>All the Scarlet Paradox are unquestionably better
Sure they are.
Yes, they are, if you don't have a shit taste. Not saying Violet ones are bad, though.
>the absolute abortion that is the new misdreavus design is better than the violet paradoxes
Sure.
Do we even know of anyone at all who is emulating Violet and just won't share?
There's no way someone with a hacked Switch hasn't gotten Violet yet.
I was a Scarletgay almost since launch but I changed to Violet last minute. I like Past Paradox forms waaaaay more but I want to ride Miraidon so... I'll just trade.
I like purple
violet is objectively better, what do you mean?
