I'm a simple man

Me who just likes koraidon

Fuecoco and Koraidon? You are a person of culture and taste.

I dunno about you, but I love Koraidon's ride form. It's kinda cute ngl.

Koraidon looks cool (if it's not in traveling mode)

they just dont appreciate proffessor sada as much as i do

Mama SADA is everything

[удалено]

Tbh k didn't even know there wer different proffesers. I would got scarlet if I knew bcuz tbh scarlets better

[удалено]

gigachad turo>mama sada tbh

I got Scarlet because my crush got Violet. We traded and I now have Paradox Pokemon with my crush's name as OT 😍

Rise up, fellow red-is-my-favourite-color players!

My girlfriend got Scarlet because her favorite color is Red.

Red isn't even my favorite color, I just saw the abs on Sada and my monkey brain activated.

Checking in as one of the dozens!

Scarlet and shield player here. You’re welcome.

Truely the backbone of our society

bro our back is hurting for carrying the sword/violet players.

I definitely prefer the asthetics of scarlet more than violet. The main legendary and and the paradox forms. Also red is my favourite colour... But yes to all you violet players your welcome. I totally wasn't selfish in my choice.

Same here

This is the way.

I picked scarlet because of the cave woman.

Listen, scarlet has the better exclusives and I’ll die on this hill.

I agree, other than Armarouge, I like ceruledge more

I got violet but after seeing the koraidon animations and cutscenes compared to the miraidon ones and seeing how great tusk and roaring moon are performing in competitive im seriously regretting not getting scarlet

No need to die, it's true. Koraidon supremacy.

I mean I just thought the paradox Pokemon looked better than “everyone is a robot.”

Would've been better if they were just enhanced by robotics somehow rather than just... All the same :(

This. Pardox primitive donphan swayed me to Scarlet at the end.

YES THIS! Idk, the Robo designs just didn’t make me feel the way the cool prehistoric ones do

Well i just bought violet cuz of iron valiant. Roraing moon sucks imo

I just wanted a stampy lizard.

I was in it for the mammoth!

My name is Charlotte so I went with scarlet because rhymes are tight.

Simple minds unite!

I literally thought more people would buy Scarlet

The Gamestop I preordered my copies at said there was a noticeable difference in preorders for the game. I think for mine they said it was like 40 copies of Scarlet preordered and 30 for Violet with 4-5 of the dual packs. I'd like to see the large scale numbers because it seemed like Scarlet was getting a lot of attention.

Ancient aesthetic, Koraidon and Sada sealed it for me

I knew I would get Violet as soon as I read the names because purple is my favorite color. The purple motorcycle-dog/dragon and the Dilf professor were just a bonus.

Exactly, they finally made Pokémon Purple and there was no way I wasn’t gonna get it

I just preferred koraidon....

A man of unga bunga culture

I just loved the red derpy boi.

I genuinely thought Scarlet would be more popular because Koraidon looks better and isn’t a robot lol. Why is Violet so popular?

Oh dude, same! Every bit of talk on here pre-release was "man, Scarlet is so cool, gonna get Scarlet!" so I grabbed Violet. Would've done the opposite if I'd known lol.

i chose scarlet for different reas8ns, but i think purple looks cooler and actually have functioning wheels. I prefet kraidon for battle but they def could have just removed the psuedo wheels imo :/

Apparently the red game is almost always less popular in each generation.

I didnt picked violet for miraidon, i picked it for chad professor 💀🔥💯

Facts, I got violet cause me and my cousin fought over scarlet and he won LMAO

I think it's a Reddit thing because Twitter and other places seem to say that Scarlet is more popular.

I like Koraidon better as a Pokemon, but I like Miraidon better as a bike. Logically I should have chosen the game with the bike I liked that can't be changed. Still got Scarlet because red go brrrr

Personally, prefer a mechanized motorbike lizard over the pure lizard bike. Also ceruledge is cooler than armourouge

Bruh, me too.

Trying to complete the dex is crazy hard when trading for the other exclusives. I see nothing but scarlet version exclusives being traded via the link codes.

Oh man I was trying to get bagon using the link codes and was offered another larvitar, a pupitar, and a deino before finally being offered the bagon lmao

I just don't like the future them it had. I don't care what anybody else likes. Besides I definitely made the right choice playing scarlet first because there was no shortage of people willing to trade with me everything I needed.

Purple is my favorite color, but I like toothy Jigglypuff WAY more than any of the robots.

We can stand together in our misanthropic ecocentric views, Sada.

I kinda just looked at the legendary and the professor and that was it. I liked koraidon much more than miraidon, but i didn't think violet would be that much more popular. I also liked the past as a theme much better than the future.

Daughter called dibbs on Violet due to Ceruledge, ok but I got cave milf Prof Sada and Armorogoues' arm cannon made me not care that I didn't go Violet. :P

I just be getting the one that comes first in naming order 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can relate more to the mommy issues apose to the daddy issues.

I got Violet because I hated the shade of red they used on the uniforms in Scarlet. Oh sorry, it's orange. Not red at all. That also drove me nuts lol.

i just like women /shrug

I just liked the legendary a little more, same with shield and that also happened to be less popular.

I just like purple

I've seen more people playing scarlet wherever I look. 😅

I picked violet cause u like purple

I like dinosaurs more than Robots, that's about it

I honestly just bought the game because of Sada. I love her design!

I feel like the plot made more sense to me on scarlet. They found paradox Pokémon in the great crater centuries before the professor invented the time machine. It makes more sense to me that there could be a sanctuary of unchanged ancient Pokémon in the great crater, as opposed to somehow robot Pokémon from the future are there before the time machine was.

Personally I assumed that the general framework for the time machine itself already existed, it was just broken for whatever reason and the professor had to fix it.

What a paradox

Hey my favorite color is red

I would choose scarlet if the ride pokemon could be changed to miridon

In my general circle, it’s pretty much the opposite almost nobody got violet

I picked violet think it was gonna be the lesser popular one because you know everyone always picked red.

I was just really tempted by the colour to get violet, I looked up nothing else haha

That’s how me and my brother chose, I love the color red and he loves the color purple! Nothing could sway me.

I just like the Dino look on Koraidon

One day I really liked a lizard and I've based every decision for the past 25 years on that

I mean I liked the scarlet lizard better

I just preferred the primal look of koraidon to the future look of miraidon

Ridable Koraidon is all the reward we need

I literally only buy the "red" version, going back to Ruby

I got the double pack and my wife and I both wanted the scarlet version. Flipped a coin and I won 🙌🏼

Koraidon is sooooo much cuter though!

I like the ooga booga pokemon and feral professor

I don't get why Scarlet is less popular? Red>Purple, and exclusive mons are better in Scarlet (design-wise) it was a choice without any hesitation for me.

I did because violet paradox pokemon look kind of dumb, as if a 7 yo invented some Pokemon, while scarlet ones actually look pretty cool

Red is the best. The orange uniforms are ugly but I’m fine wearing ugly clothes when I get the prettiest legendary

I just liked the actual lizard more than the robot one

I just like dog dragon

I love the scarlet exclusives more than the violet but i picked violet cuz i love miraidon’s design more than koraidon lol

I went in knowing absolutely nothing about either game. I didn’t even see the box legendaries. I made my decision as soon as I heard Violet was one of the versions. My reasoning was “Purple is my favorite color so I have to buy pokemon purple”. That was the entirety of my thought process.

Koraidon best boi 🥹🥹

Honestly, at first I preferred Violet (because Koraidon with wheels but not using em looks silly). But too many have em, so I grab Scarlet instead for the purpose of trading exclusives with Violet.

I genuinely like Scarlet

The 100% of people I know including me have the scarlet version.

From the beginning, I was on the Scarlet bandwagon. I am glad I still went with my decision as the version exclusives for Scarlet are better than Violet’s.

Past designs are cooler than iron everything

Why does this subreddit hate Miraidon so much lol. The comments are always shit talking him on every post.

The first time I saw sada, i decided to get scarlet. Violet may have better mons but scarlet has a female prof

I warmed up to Koraidon but for the most part, Violet has cooler paradox mons. Plus Miraidon's wheels are "functional" so it's bike form looks a lil better imo

Orange is my favorite color so I was kind of regretting not going with Scarlet which had orange uniforms. But I don't like the shade of orange that they use throughout the clothing options. It looks more brown/tan to me.

My boyfriend and I were meant to be...he asked me which I'd rather. I said Violet. He said perfect, Scarlet all day and now we can trade and hunt for exclusives in the other worlds! Ain't love grand?!

I literally made an agreement with a few friends, they would all get scarlet and I would get violet because I liked the colour lmao

So I sing a simple song. Sorry, couldn’t resist

Two buddies got violet so I got Scarlett.

I always pick based on the box legendary I like more, when they started putting them on. I think Koraidon is better imho.

I actually like the color purple more but i like the paradox mons and lizard more in scarlet

I just like having both versions of the game to make it easier to complete a living Dex.

I just like the fact the thing has wheels but still walks/runs with its legs

I honestly just scrolled through Amazon and picked the first one that popped up. I regret nothing

Got scarlet cuz the past interested me more and because my SO liked the violet legendary better

Then you have those who buy and play both versions 😂

Koraidon is just better simple as that

My little cousin chose it because "it is the first one Scarlet AND Violet". Same logic that got us both sword last time

I just got it for my man Tyranitar.

I just got it because my very first pokemon game was blue so i thought "hey why not the red one this time"

Where are people even getting that violet is more popular anyways? Seen a lot of posts about this. Are there numbers out yet or are people just assuming?

I haven’t looked at any official numbers, I just keep seeing posts saying it. There were many posts with pictures of tons of scarlet games available at stores with violet sold out. Some locations had the inverse though. In my friend group, more ended up picking violet though.

You know these memes are funny but real talk I know more people that got Scarlet than Violet.

I'm just here for caveman mommy

The way Koraidon, just, swims 😅

Or just get both and wait till they're up connected with home

Actually have seen more people getting Scarlet than Violet, although Violet legendary seems to be preffered

I just want scream tail.

Me like Unga Bunga.

I'm just an indigenous pokenerd that thinks red toothless looks like a regalia dancer with a headdress and bustle, and thinks roaring moon is bae.

I just wanted Tyranitar

Ive been doing my part sending out Larvitars out through the secret trade hoping they find a good home

I regret getting Scarlet, but I lived with my choice lol. I literally picked it because I like red 😂

Honestly, I usually get the more masculine of the two games. And I haven't really looked at violets dog thing but I heard it's more like a bike. So I think for the story's sake, the dog makes more sense in the story. I haven't beaten the pokemon league yet but I'm almost at the end game content I think. But doggo is awesome lol

Ah yes. They're playing for the regional variants and clearly most definitely not the hot cavewoman mommy professor (with fangs). Definitely for the regional variants.

Scarlet was 5€ cheaper

"Me who bought the only version still in stock anywhere"

Me who bought it for donphant and uniform

Omg me too only reason I got scarlet

I got both and in the end chose to make my main playthrough Scarlet since I prefer the paradox pokemon of that game (and since we're most likely getting paradox suicune, entei, and probably raikou as scarlet exclusives, makes it even more of a reason for me to have that as my main). For violet, there's just not as much of an appeal as I initially thought, where all I really want is two or three version exclusives from it.

Well it was an easy choice considering Professor Death By Milf Snu Snu over Professor Futuristic Daddy

Agreed

I just always pick the first game in the pair expect for Silver and Soul Silver.

I always get the less popular game because it makes it easier to find people to trade with

I just thought Sada was hot

I picked violet because it was closer to the word VIOLENT

i liked violet more, had it preordered, but ended up getting scarlet sooner (shipping delay on my preorder) and playing it first… i’m playing violet now and realizing that i like koraidon’s design more, even if miraidon’s color palette is superior

I just like the non-robotic-looking Paradox Pokémon, and red Toothless. 🤷‍♀️

I just wanted toothless and mega evolve feral dragon salamence. Plus dinosaurs are cooler then robots anyway

Leaf green was the less popular game too now it’s selling on eBay for $90…

scarlet may be less popular but the moment you go to trade for a cerulege all of a sudden theres 10,000 scarlet players and 1 violet player trying to trade

I tend to go wherever larvitar goes. Iron Thorns made this a really tough decision, for me, though.

Are there sales numbers on this? I keep seeing the claim that violet is more popular without anything to substantiate it.

I just like Koraidon..

Me who just thought Sada was the hotter professor

I mean I chose my game based on the name the color and the box legendary, gf got violet so I get the best of both worlds. Only thing I'll give violet is y'all's outfits are less hideous but that's about it

In my group there are only two Scarlets (including me), and three Violets.

me who just plays violet because I like the color more

Anybody looking for anything? I'm violet 💜 for reference.

I just lost a game of rock paper scissors with my boyfriend. I wanted violet

Scarlet player because Miraidon's eyes freaked me out a bit and also, I like the feets on my Koraidon. They're my happy lil fren

Got violet just to shiny hunt iron valiant. Probably one of my top 5 favourite pokemon

I just like the color purple….

I chose Violet because my brother chose Scarlet, but I quite like Eiscue and Ceruledge

I just like archeology I didn’t care about the color or version exclusives I like my rocks dammit🪨

I love purple but the sweet gen5 nostalgia...

I just like Koraidon more than Miraidon...like it has jets and can only glide and floats around like some sort of monk in its battleform.

Honestly I feel like they did a great job balancing the cool mons between the games. My only issue still is that there’s really no reason at all for them to be two separate games, but we all know that’s never gonna go away…

Me who was so done picking the second version because my friends always pick the first one. Also Koraidon and Sada.

My partner and i chose the games forever ago just based on the colors since my favorite color is purple and his is red

This is how my brother and I chose haha. Made it very easy.

Sada, Koraidon and past paradox ‘mon imo, are infinitely better than violet’s counterparts 😎🤙🏻

My and my brother we both play the game andtook the different versions. I took violet and he took scarlet, with every new game i take the one with the blueish palet of colors and he takes the redish one.

They gotta understand, I had 2 choices. I chose the dumb dog that runs instead of using his wheels. It was a clear and easy choice. I've also gone with the "Red" option every game I've played, except for moon, I wanted the bat.

Is this the first time the game that gets top billing (Scarlet) is the less popular one? I feel like Sword, Sun, X, Black, etc. are always the slightly more popular of the initial two

I prefer everything in scarlet over violet. The legendary, uniforms, colour, past theme and the professor of course, that’s why I got it.

I was violet because of the colors but once the legendaries were introduced with the past and future information, I had to go caveman route. Did not realize I was the oddball.

me who just want to play both version, i start with Scarlet then i played Violet

I'm just more into ancient stuff then future stuff lol

It's so weird to me. I know 4 people having Scarlet, but none but me having Violet. Then i tried to trade Pokemon via the Pokedex-number-method and i noticed holy shit. I need to reroll my traiding partner on average 10 times to find someone with Scarlet.

Me playing violet just cuz i always chose the "blue" version since Diamond 😐

Respect

Me who got scarlet because it was way cheaper than violet in my store (and koraidon is baby)

I got the Scarlet paradox forms by using those trade codes going about. I had no idea how much more popular Violet was prior to that.

I waited until the version exclusives were leaked to pick mine, and hands down Scarlet had the better ones. I liked both the motorbikes and Sada so I felt good about my choice...

I think both games are pretty good. The only reason I choose Scarlet was because of the paradox forms and Koraidon since he is a lot more natural. Dinos vs Robots, dinos win.

Is Scarlet really the less popular one? I could swear that I've seen more people playing Scarlet than Violet.

Me buying Scarlet knowing the past paradox pokemon would be cooler

Yooooooooooooooo red based club

I just didnt like the paradox mons from violet and dont want to see them in my game

Sure as hell doesn't seem 'less popular' when I'm looking for a Water Tauros 🤣

Koraidon, Professor Sada, Tyranitar, Ancient Donphan? It was an easy choice unaffected by the masses. 😆 Only exclusives I think violet got that I really want are Iron Thorns and Ceruledge and I've got friends that picked purple.

yeah totally didnt grab it cause sada

Solely based on the fact that Larvitar was in Scarlet for me lol

This is why I get both versions every time xD gotta be the loner in it all

My friend just likes Koraidon more but now we both have each Bike Legend

Ngl half the decision was just because of Sada, the other half was not liking the jets on miraidon 😂
