There is always a weak version.
Do you own the weak version?
It usually depends, my first Pokemon game was Blue because its my favorite color, but every version after that I usually chose the "strong" versions (Gold, Ruby, Diamond, White X, Sun, Sword, and I finally broke the cycle this gen by getting Scarlet over Violet but only because that version leaked first and I was never interested in buying it legally.
what's the weak version between BW?
Black, nobody cares about Reshiram, futuristic Opelucid is soulless and really out of place with the rest of Unova, and Black City is much less useful than White Forest
If you remove any attempts at being funny with racist jokes, I think it can be interpreted 2 ways
1.) Black is the abscence of color, white is the maximum color, thus white is the "strong" version
or
2.) On a blank white canvas its actually the opposite, black is full color, white is the abscence of color, thus black is the "strong" version"
In reality the choice of black vs white was probably just GFs attempt at getting rid of the whole "strong vs weak" version dichotomy entirely
White light has every color but physical matter that appears black is absorbing all the colors. So it objects are made of colors as well
Reshiram was way better than Zekrom at the time of release. Dragon/Fire was perfect coverage.
Reshiram was the mon that SOUNDED great, but was utterly trash in battles. Zekrom was way better
To quote a different DS game:
Too Black = Too Strong.
I love Blaze so much
Black. No one likes reshiram after that mentally ill fat fuck made a song about marrying it

At least I'm not so shallow that my opinion of a game is determined by some retard on social media.
Bloody hell.
Black has reshiram as the mascot, retard.
You mean White. Also imagine basing your opinion of a Pokemon species on one shitposter.
White. Everyone loves reshiram after that handsome young man made a song about marrying it
zekrom's electricity is blue,
reshiram's flames are red,
white is thus the weak version.
Black. No contest.
The list was too big for my screen, even zoomed out

Y > X
>xerneas used moon blast
I usually just get the “blue” the game with the bottom billing
>Blue
>Silver
>Sapphire
>Pearl
>White
>Y
>Moon
Stopped buying after UM but if these games didn’t turn into absolute garbage, I would’ve bought Shield and Violet.
Diamond is more blue than Pearl
What denotes a "weak version" in each pair?
It's generally accepted that for SWSH, Shield is the weak one thanks to Zacian to the point that Shield would be considered "hard mode" or close to one for SWSH.
Same could also be said for LGPE with Pikachu as the weak version thanks to all the tutor moves Partner Eevee gets.
But what about the rest? Are Red and FireRed weak due to Porygon's price in those games? Is Moon weak due to the 12-hour offset? Is Sapphire weak due to even more water on top of too much water or strong due to being the only Gen 3 Hoenn game with unlimited Moon Stones? Is Soul Silver weak because 2 Gold exclusive Pokémon got cross-gen evos in Gen 4 whereas their Silver counterparts got nothing?
From OP's picture, I just interpreted it as one box legend being significantly stronger than the other. So often they show blatant favoritism to one version over the other.
Kyogre is generally better than Groudon.
Reshiram is better than Zekrom.
Xerneas is better than Yveltal.
Primal Groudon is better than Primal Kyogre.
Zacian isn't even in the same universe as Zamazenta.
No.
Pikachu is the strong version.
Eevee is the weak one.
>I did not play these games
I liked the signature moves Eevee got better.
only picking best options
Blue
Crystal
Emerald
Platinum
Black
Black 2
Y
Moon
Ultra Moon
Sword
Violet
Wrong, it's actually:
Yellow(blue)
Crystal(silver)
Emerald(sapphire)
Platinum(Diamond)
White
White 2
X
Sun
Shield
Scarlet
No, I don't own Sun.
Y just makes a lot more sense imo why would the ultimate weapon be powered by the Life legendary. Similarly, N should be getting the ideal legendary, fits him a lot more than truth.
They're usually pretty balanced, only real losers are the people who got Shield
This is a stupid flame thread but you reminded me of something.
After beating Emerald, I used to believe some games past RSE had a "canon" color. Of Ruby and Sapphire, the plot of going to the undersea cave, awakening an ancient sea monster that then attempts to flood the world makes more sense (to me) than doing all that for a land creating monster. The image of Groudon trying to dry out the ocean in the middle of it is just silly.
Of X and Y, the mass murder weapon being powered by Yveltal, the death avatar, makes so much more sense than it being an overloaded gun of life energy, so Y is the canon Kalos story.
Diamond and Pearl is a little harder, since the legends don't matter to the plot and don't affect the story. Gen 1 and 2 are the same. The BW literally have direct sequels so for these all both games are considered canon.
>Diamond and Pearl is a little harder, since the legends don't matter to the plot and don't affect the story.
Platinum is the canon version
All versions and saved files are alternate worlds/timelines
>the mass murder weapon being powered by Yveltal, the death avatar, makes so much more sense than it being an overloaded gun of life energy
not when you realize it made AZ and his Floette immortal
I kind of agree, but the implication that those who are sacrificed get turned to stone pillars doesn't scream "unending life energy" to me.
Honestly it might be due to AZ and Von Hohenheim having similar character arcs.
If only they made a Z version
