This blatantly happened with XY. It wasn't even just talked about on here either. It was on reddit and Facebook as well.

So why the fuck would you be stupid enough to preorder anyway?

This is why I've always thought people were stupid for choosing things before seeing all the details. For example people jumping on ships for starters when they've literally only seen the first stage only to find they fucking hate the final stage.

It's why I never let myself get attached to a new Pokemon until I see it all.

My issue with Moon is that if I'm playing during the day, I want it to be day. if I'm playing during the night, I want it to be night. Autistic maybe, but I always enjoyed that aspect of day/night in Pokemon.

Or you could just not give a shit about exclusives or starters or any of that shit because ever since the fucking GTS it's been easier than ever to trade for shit. You remember the days when you actually had to KNOW someone else and HOPED their mom bought them the opposite version so you could finish the Pokedex? Remember how difficult that made version exclusives, and made that shit matter? Not anymore, man. Just get whatever title sounds cooler and trade your exclusive for their exclusive on the GTS and check back in 30 minutes.

I decided on Sun to start with just based on the box legend. I'm happy with my choice, but it's not like switching is some massive chore unless you pre-ordered.

And really, why would you pre-order when you don't know anything? The only thing I ever really want spoiled for a pokemon game is version exclusives so I can decide which one to buy, and starter evos so I know which one to pick. Everything else is secondary.

I don't think we even know any version exclusive mons just yet. I believe the rockruff evo's different forms are a result of being evolved at different times of the day, and while for sure there will be some version exclusives, we don't particularly know them just yet.

Also I just pick my version based on the box legendary and preorder it on the spot.

Serebii only says it shows them being obtained in those versions. It makes sense since youre more likely to get one in sun and the other in moon, but it never says theyre exclusive.

Has the franchise ever actually done pokemon where the evolution is based on the version youre playing before?

Yes, and Joe is a retard. The magazine specifically calls them Sun and Moon exclusive with the game names instead of simply using every day japanese to point out a regular sun/moon influence. They also coined this W Evo, so basically something completely new fitting with a new form of evolution, as version based day/night evo.

I've never really decided until the games were already out, except for XY. I had decided on Y until I found out X had Clauncher as an exclusive. Sucked because I wanted Skrelp too, but Clauncher was a must have for me.

That's why you put up an offer yourself and not the other way around. GTS is full of retards, trolls and little kids so the few sensible requests get snatched away nearly immediately and you're stuck seeing only the bullshit trades.

Also GS and HGSS have swapped encounter tables between the two, so if you prefer Gold you should prefer SoulSilver and if you prefer Silver you should prefer HeartGold.

Otherwise good taste thus far.

There is a difference between pre-ordering games with artificial hype and little to no content shown prior to the release and pre-ordering games with simply delayed releases in the west.
It's okay to pre-order, let's say, Monster Hunter or Dragon Quest, since we know months in advance how they're going to be. For Pokemon, especially now that there's a worldwide release (just a few days later in Europe), it's better to wait and see more info.

Whether midnight releases will happen or not at many stores are decided by number of pre-orders, and if you pre-order sooner on an online shop the sooner your copy is shipped once they start shipping them out and the better the chance it arrives early.

Regardless if you don't like your choice you can just cancel it, and OP said nothing about pre-ordering anyways.

Vileplume was just plain worse than Victreebel both in design and combat utility.

Blue had Sandslash who was much better than Arbok gameplaywise.

Pinsir was also better in-game than Scyther(as long as you gave him passable TM support), and was purchaseable at the game corner for a very reasonable price(2500) compared to the stupidly high-priced Scyther in Red(5500). Porygon was also 3499 Coins cheaper so it was better for filling out the dex too.

Might possibly agree on Silver having the better exclusives in the long run, but from a playthrough perspective, Gold did have the better deal.
