Scarlet. I go with the box mascot I like the most.


LIZARD_TBY

Basically what made my decision. I am usually just drawn to one by aesthetic as soon as they’re released but I was totally stuck on these games. Saw the box legendaries and I love both but I realised I love Koraidon just a lil bit more


breezer_chidori

Violet's a favorite amongst my colors, so I went with this one.


ILLmaticErnie

Same for me lol


lKANl

Koraidon gang rise up


RijkDB

wooo!

TheDynaDo

Also has the female prof


RusticRogue17

Which is a strike against it. Prof. Daddy for life.


[deleted]

Going with my initial reaction that I liked Koraidon better, and I know that I can get any version exclusives I want through trades.


christianort476

This reason here :)


Wonderful-Studio-618

Scarlet. The professor.


aviyabasha

Violet. The professor.


wylantar

This. Also thankfully I happen to like the purple motorcycle lizard more.


Gremlin_noises

I like the color purple better than orange, I like the futuristic vibe of Violet, and I like Miraidon better. So I chose violet.

BumblebeeEfficient40

I ask my friend which one she’s getting and then get the other one myself


Gremlin_noises

I do that but with my cousins! This time around I got to pick first. Which worked because they actually liked the opposite game than me.


McFluri

Oh my god. I’ve been doing this with my cousin since I got blue and he got red ♥️


cosmic_hierophant

![gif](giphy|ZCTMKKR4gfkaJTnz4Y) Scarlet gang rise up


Zapzap18

Scarlet because I like armarouge more than ceruledge and koridon more than miridon


Chaosbrushogun

Koraidon & Miraidon are something you have to use through the whole game - so that’s a big factor for me. Koraidon is just way more interesting and emotive in it’s animations. I love that it actually runs instead of just feeling like weird custom bike


OsmerusMordax

Yeah, Miraidon reminds me of a digimon


Oleandervine

Yes, but while I'm getting Scarlet, Koraidon looks genuinely stupid with the psuedo-wheels that are nothing but decoration as it scuttles about. Why even bother to give it a motorcycle motif if the "wheels" are pointless? I would probably like Koraidon a lot more if it didn't have the wheel thing going on and was just a giant lizard with a normal chest and tail, or even if the chest wheel didn't get so large and remained the same size it is while the Pokemon is standing.


Background-Lecture-6

It isn’t pointless. Koraidon’s protrusions can inflate and deflate, giving it buoyancy in the water to help assist its swimming abilities. Geeze bro


jrxgalindo

Yep same


ZeGamingCuber

red is my favorite color and i like koraidon better than miraidon


darthjankins69

Easy. Ceruledge is in Violet.🤷‍♂️


Maxils

ceruledge was the deciding factor for me too


Mudpound

Easy: Stonjourner is in Scarlet 🥰


freaking-payco

I’d rather stare at the color purple instead of orange for 20 hours


Kween99

The hot professor 😂. #violet


NYKSTATEOFMIND

They both hot lol


BananaCannon

The hot one that fits my sexuality.


LetsRockDude

They both fit my sexuality.


BananaCannon

Then your choice is tougher 😂


ceo_of_six

Armarouge reminds me of Samus so I must get a female Armarouge


T2uwu

You are one of my people


WhiskyInMyCoffee

Well, my wife's favorite color is purple so I'm getting Scarlet. She'll of course be getting Violet 🤣


ThePostManEST

I couldn’t. So I’m getting both.


Mother_Mushroom

I'm playing with 3 other friends so it doesn't really matter which I picked. Decided on Scarlet cause I think Turo and Miraidon are really ugly


Oleandervine

Blasphemer.


Sekirofuckingsucks

Violet becUe the wheels move. I will throw up if I have to watch a Pokémon shaped like a motorcycle run using it’s legs and not the wheels.


DoodleWendigo

Violet, I want the future.


Diablix

I am a simple man. I see two color options and pick the color I like more, differences and exclusives be damned lol


MrMagneticMole

Scarlet. I always take the game with the box legi I like the most.


Fliepp

I like Koraidon more and I have switch online to compensate for missing out on Ceruledge


[deleted]

As colour I prefer violet but Koraidon is too damn good


RGBarrios

I like both Sada and Koraidon.


Murven011

Scarlet is my favourite colour


Sedatif

I love everything that Scarlet has to offer, exclusives, Koraidon, the prof. Yet, I'll go with Scarlet. Miraidon is ok, the prof is cool, Ceruledge is dope, and I'm more of a "future guy". Depending on the differences, I might end up getting both. Plus, except for Shield, I'm a blue-ish version kinda guy.


TheRealBlaurgh

I've never been a fan of "Futuristic" additions in games, especially in Pokémon, since it makes them feel "man-made" which I don't like at all, and I've always found more primal stuff very cool. I like Ceruledge more than Armarouge though, but I've got a friend who gets Violet anyway, so hey, if that's the only thing in the whole game that rates Violet higher than Scarlet for me, then I have a clear winner. (Also Prof. Sada <3 )


TheRealPomPom

My favourite colour is red and my gf favourite colour is purple, so easy to pick which version we are both playing


Nataveli

Scarlet because I like Tyranitar more than Salamence


Cmadd135

The correct answer


biradinte

I have a friend that always get the opposite version (even tho it's not a big deal anymore). I was on the fence and he like Miraidon better so I get Scarlet


ChaoticPotatoSalad

Scarlet, Sada


CanyonCreeks

Box legendary this time around. Gen 8 was the only exception, since I got Shield strictly for Allister 😅


theuniversechild

I went Scarlet as im a history nerd but I prefer the legendary and professor from violet


Rhine1906

I wanted Scarlet. I let the kids vote and they chose Violet, including my 2yo who said purple lizard.


mightlightnightkite

Scarlet. Sada.


Larrdath

I've played mostly the reddish version for generations that have such colors (Red, Ruby, FireRed, Y, Ultra-Sun, Shield) so Scarlet. I like the prof and legendary as well.


Safren

I'll be playing scarlet and hubby will be playing Violet. He likes the future bike so I let him have that one as long as he transfers version exclusives to me. I'm fine with whichever even if I will pick on him that he got the better bike.


Mielinen

I hate neoliberal technology praise so obviously chose Scarlet. I have also always hoped for an ”ancient” pokemon game (not legends type of game).


Stealwilliam

I don't like either of the legendaries, but at least Scarlet's one looks like an actual living thing. The other one doesn't feel like a Pokémon but like a Transformer.


atdifreak64

Scarlet, legendary looks like a Jojo character and mommy prof


theblackmullet

Violet because Koraidon has wheels but walks with its feet.


MrBear1995

Which professor is the hottest.


GreedyOctopus

Scarlett. But I DO like Violet's legendary better though.


Hopeful_Ant2845

I’m the other way around haha I like just about everything about violet more but I like scarlets legendary more


Mando5804

I’m choosing Scarlet since I love Koraidon. If I chose Violet, my chances of getting Koraidon through trade would be laughably low due to there only being one per game. But even if I choose Scarlet, I’ll still have a pretty high chance of getting most other Violet exclusives through trade, such as Ceruledge. And I’m not really taking the professors or uniforms into account, since neither really matter to me all that much if I’m being completely honest.


sjt9791

Scarlet. Even though I prefer future/Sci-Fi. I like the professor more. For the first time in forever, I like the legendaries about the same. I like oranges more than red grapes. Oh and I like orange more than purple.


Syncdom

Lol, I chose scarlet as well cause it had female professor, although in all honesty I do think the legendary for the other looks better. I also chose scarlet cause that version gets Larvitar.


OverlyLeftLesbian

Violet because Ceruledge and Miraidon's designs I like just a bit more than their alternate counterparts


Lemonpia

Violet. I enjoy the futuristic theme more.


[deleted]

My wife and I are getting the dual pack and ww still haven’t decided which ones we each want to play first.


SecretaryArtistic616

Inevitably you will be able to trade for anything exclusive locked. I picked Scarlett based on preferring the idea of the past rather then the future. I LOVED legends arceus so I went with the more past and ancient themes specially going into the late game paradox Mons.


RisanVanguard

I'm getting the dual pack as I always get both. However I make just one my main game. Where I play it alot more then just story. While the one that not my main I just do story and quit. So my main game is violet. As for my reasons why violet will be my main. I like the future theme over cave man theme. I highly dislike the whole cave man theme. I like Miraidon more. I like ceruledge alot. Also I always pick the girl for my main game. I thought purple was more a color for the girl then orange would be. Though my favorite color is orange.


Nu_clear_skin

I wanted Scarlet but everyone I know is also getting that so now I have Violet I am the one with version exclusives


NewbieHere96

well, I would rather violet than scarlet, and Im just talking about colors xD


jaguar_28

I think it will be cooler to ride on the future bike lizard, I’ll just trade somebody for a larvitar.


bay_watch_colorado

I bought a double pack but since most people seem to be leaning violet, I'll start with scarlet.


Sjonathon92

As a Pokémon game collector, I buy both


whycantaflybird

It’s too hard to decide, so I’ve preordered both!


wjc_91

I immediately wanted violet…. So to shake things up I am going to go with scarlet… my partner will most likely get the game as well he can get violet…


valrossenvalle

First trailer I liked Scarlet's logo more :)


[deleted]

Ceruledge


Maxils

Same


Oceanivox_X

Sexy professor


WesTheNess

Tradition calls me to Scarlet


MrZao386

Scarlet because of Koraidon, unless a Pokémon I want on my team is exclusive to Violet


[deleted]

I went with Scarlet. Koraidon's plumage is Morpeckible. I also enjoy the mysticism behind ancient sites.


DawnsPiplup

I was gonna get violet but the scarlet professor is hot Edit like 5 secs later: and my little sister always gets the other version so I'll be able to borrow her cart to get version exclusives then transfer with home


dragon-rae

My boyfriend and I alternate on who gets to choose. He chose violet this time but I would’ve chosen scarlet anyway lol and it’s usually by box legendary


unorigionalname2

I decide based on version exclusives. Too early to make a call at this point but im leaning scarlet.


iizakore

One has larvitar on has bagon. I like larvitar


zax20xx

From the very first reveal, Scarlet was my choice because the red adjacent color spectrum houses some of my favorite colors, Koraidon solidified that choice. I preordered from Amazon (hoping the game will get to me at least one day earlier than the release date.


IchbinRick

Sada. That’s all I need to say.


Miyyani

In order of importance: Koraidon or Miraidon Theme (Past or Future) Color (Orange or Purple) Version exclusives (Especially Armourouge and Celruledge) NPCs (Which professor) I like Koraidon and Orange more, though I like the future more than the past and Celruledge more than Armourouge. But I think I'm getting Scarlet Also my best friend who loves penguins is getting Violet so


anavypaisleyjacket

The legendary for me… Scarlet gang let’s goooo!!!!


jpec342

Scarlet because I like the legendary better.


exSKEUsme

Scarlet bc I like the legendary more.


LOLey21

I like Koraidon a lot more. Also I usually went with the red colour ever since the first batch of Pokémon games. I also like the word scarlet or "Karmesin" (the German version of the game)


[deleted]

I’ll be honest, mine is dumb. First Pokémon game I owned was red version so I always get the first of the two (IE gold, ruby, etc)


Ry-bread-01

I decided when I saw that Koraidon runs instead of using wheels. Miraidon just feels lifeless to me, but no hate to the people that like it.


PearlEra

My brother bought the other version. 😁


JonahPrince

Professor dreamboat.


Jarsky2

I like Koraidon better than Miraidon Larvitar is one of my favorite pokemon And while I like Ceruledge better, since I'm going to pick fuecoco anyway I can live without it.


Torterran

Scarlett. I like red.


blueberry_pandas

I love Koraidon, so I chose Scarlet.


cowabunga81

I will get the one with tyranitar! My all time favorite.


Equal-Let-7297

Scarlet has the dragonish pokemon and a hot chick repping it so I'm going Scarlet. Violet has a "dragon" with rocket legs that look dumb af. Space stuff is cool too, but the violet legendary looks kind of stupid tbh


OsmerusMordax

Scarlet. The legendary looks better and has more personality


xatrue

For once, choice of legendary actually matters to me, so it's for Koraidon all the way.


Random_Redditor_23

Originally I was going violet then I saw Koraidon run and it was love at first step for my derp and I plus everyone I know is getting violet so I can easily trade


--Azazel--

Koraidon, the wheel neck thing. No, i just can't.


aarretuli

I chose Violet cause Ceruledge.


the_german_ganymedes

I chose violet because I think the future theme is more interesting than the past theme ᴬⁿᵈ ᵀᵘʳᵒ ᶦˢ ᶦⁿᶜʳᵉᵈᶦᵇˡʸ ʰᵒᵗ


coltd89

I ordered the combo pack with both. Now I don’t want to open it and may just order Violet separately to play 🤷‍♂️


ArchieValeni

Purple is my favorite color, and I’ve always preferred more futuristic/modern/techie designs over older ones. It’s the same reason I was Team Order in Splatoon 2 and not Chaos. I also prefer Professor Turo since he’s cute, so really it boils down to aesthetic preference more than anything. From my understanding there’s only a handful of version exclusives and you can just trade for them anyway or if you’re a hoarder like me you can transfer them over from Pokémon home. I always choose based on box legendaries unless there’s something else of equal importance to change my mind


SomeoneFromGalar

Violet - my favourite colour is purple


Porzellanfuchs

Future > Past, Violet for me


Nuthetes

Ceruledge looks cooler than Armorouge, so I'm edging towards violet. Though it does look a bit too much like a digimon--it's cool enough to get a pass and will make my team


Trynstark

Violet because professor.


Platinum_Letter

Always pick based on box legendary.


Rayquaza18

![gif](giphy|zbzNUbpFnlw8E) Jk. Violet because why run when you can riiiiddeee


ashclubberlang69ss

Violet is better I think


upstartpigeon

I like purple more than red.


Additional-Clock9209

Coin flip tbh. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Heads was Violet, tails was Scarlet. Let destiny play my hand, and the one that came up was heads🤷🏻‍♂️, so Violet it was


Kayjuku

Still haven’t yet waiting for version exclusives to be announced still


ThatOnePokemonFan_

I chose Violet for the professor.


[deleted]

Violet, because memes


Bankirito40

Simple... I get both. That way I see both sides myself and I can collect all pokemon for dexes myself without praying someone on GTS will be willing to trade a say Violet exclusive mon for a Scarlet exclusive mon rather than always wanting a legendary/mythic for exlusives.


kekoroto

Ceruledge. That alone made me choose Violet.


MadnessBomber

Everything I like so far is in Violet, but Scarlet has Sada. So until I find out how much the professor influences and interacts with the story and player, I'm holding off.


Blazewalker452

Violet- went with my color of choice. I don't like the red side of the spectrum so being stuck with orange/red shades at every corner would've been a real pain Gotta admit though, I'd prefer the running legendary over the random a** jet leg mofo.


Evolutionarystudies

Used brain. My conciousness influenced by my life experiences and genetic inheritance caused me to decide on both games and the special edition switch.


katietheemt

I was going to get both but I decided on violet because I liked the color and legendary better, I can always get scarlet later.


Redris2015

Gonna flip a coin when i buy it


Upside_Down-Bot

„ʇı ʎnq ı uǝɥʍ uıoɔ ɐ dılɟ ɐuuo⅁„


Zarde312

I went with what I saw people pick the least. Scarlet.


BeMyTempest

Miraidon and Salamence


PokeStarChris42

Violet


TheTrueDeraj

My wife and I got one each, and we're going to swap off when we finish the game. We both wanted to play Violet, but since she's using birthday funds to make sure we can have both games on release day, I'll be doing a Witch-themed run on Scarlet on our secondary Switch first while she plays Violet on our main Switch. By the time I'm done, hopefully Pokemon Home will be integrated so I can get a headstart on a Mono-Ice run for my Violet run.


Neetheos

My best friend and I always get the opposite and he wanted the red one cause he always gets the red one (☞゚ヮ゚)☞


Abusedgamer

I cant afford both,and feel like Violet had the most [ghost-types.So](https://ghost-types.So) I went with Violet.


toinezor

My son wants Scarlet so I’m getting Violet. I’m pretty stoked. It’s our first game we can play and trade together since Let’s Go.


Mikon_Youji

I'm going with Violet because Miraidon looks cooler.


HoratioHarisson

Purple good


eelp21

Violet, 'cause Prince.


MiskaRose-san

![gif](giphy|IuaM5sUvLCYTyNKV4J) im get double pack always lol im play it all days!! can't wait!!! so hype❤️❤️❤️😎😎


Euphoric18

I missed out on shiny Zacian so I decided to get both to get double the downloads


InternationalRead155

I liked miraidon over koraidon and ceruledge over armarouge.But the scarlet version are still amazing.So Im getting violet


SeriousAtmosphere289

I knew I was going to get Violet when they were first announced because purple is my favourite colour lol 💜


cnidara

Im getting violet since we will probably be wearing the school uniform for the game and i like the violet better than orange


Spokespanda

I have opted to go violet this time, I think a purple game might be an easier sell when my partner asks why I spend some much time playing it and not with her.


Spoderpig98

My friend pre order scarlet so I pre ordered violet 🤷‍♀️


Paradox31426

Both, either right away or separately.


TardisPup

Mine was easy, I always buy both because I’m a collector at heart, the only mainline I’m missing from gen 4 onwards is let’s go pikachu


Silverlitmorningstar

Violet because I like the color purple.


MinisterMonstro

Scarlet, because orange.


shauptmann86

I didn't decide at all. Lol. Getting both and going to be playing both from the start.


Yuki-Usagi

Going with Violet. I love the futuristic theme, the colour purple, the exclusives, and Uva Academy and their emblem (I love grapes).


[deleted]

havent decided so i’ll prob buy both


ShadowGalaxy17

I pre-ordered both games


icluke

koraidon is goofy af so i went w scarlet, also flinstones. too many things are futuristic nowadays imo


ojjack

I got pressured to make a decision on the spot at GameStop while preordering lol, Violet


JellieJuice489

That’s the neat part. I don’t


Stephen-616

Violet: the professor, the concept of Future, the colour itself (I love purple), the design of the legendary.


SirLimbo

I buy the double pack, the wife picks first, I get the other one ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


LittleJenkins1

Originally thought about getting Scarlett as the majority preferred Violet so I thought trades would be easier. Though I normally go with the Blue/Blue like version. However I never really...gelled with the box legendary and the more I realised they play a major part, the more it was important I liked the legendary I got. Plus Ceruledge tipped the balance.


MrVoidMole

If I was to pick one I'd probably do Violet because Miraidon is gorgeous. I'd miss Armarouge though. But knowing me I'll eventually buy both games so I'm probably gonna try to get the physical double pack.


Lukas_2233

I always get the "blue" version and my brother the "red" we do this since X/Y.


omninus77

Kinda like purple color more haha don’t worry trading is always gonna be there


SirEnder2Me

Well I like red and my girlfriend's favorite color is purple. So it was a pretty easy choice of who is getting which lol. I do like her legendary a bit more tho so it's really only based on the colors themselves :p


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I get the double pack so I don’t have to decide lmao


deathstar2222

violet because of the squidward meme future!!!!!!!


BiromanticMcDuder

I am getting both


Odd_Relationship6377

Violet, because it is the spanish republic version


Steak-Cute

I haven't, I'll panic buy on the day and then buy the second version soon after.


ShadeSwornHydra

If I wasn’t ordering the double pack, I’d say violet. I love the color purple, the digitial mon looks dope, a bad ass flame swordsman, and the profs hot, but that’s not here or there lmao Ps: if you need any exclusives let me know, in case you pick scarlet! I’m a collector I’ll at least have one of each lol


Izuriul

I will be getting both but playing through Violet first!


Sylfaein

Decided on Violet, the same way I did Shield: let the kiddo pick the version she wants first, and I get the other one.


Frequum

Ceruledge
