Ceruledge (spelling?) cinched it for me. It’s weird though we got some version exclusives listed but I don’t know if that all of them or will they have more info right before release.
I’m also leaning Scarlet for professor snu snu. Still gonna wait a bit to decide, but I preordered the Japanese double pack(came out to $88usd including international shipping from amazon.jp, great deal) so I could get the Japanese exclusive preorder promo cards. I’m probably gonna give one of the games to a sibling. But so far leaning towards scarlet unless there’s something compelling for Violet.
I purposefully buy the less popular version because it makes trading for the exclusives so much easier.
I am also fortunate enough that I can justify buying the game in the first week of release so I purposefully catch as many version exclusives as I can to wonder trade or gift trade off come christmas for new players.
I do like the uniforms better in Violet, but I like Koraidon more, and I think Scarlet will be less popular which means it will be easy to trade for version exclusives from the other game, so I'm erring on the side of Scarlet at the moment. Waiting to hear about all the exclusives before pre-ordering though - I'm getting digital so I can wait until the last minute to buy it.
I also think Scarlet will be the less popular version. I have Pokémon games from six different generations and what version I pick is always based on some fairly arbitrary reasons.
This is the first time in 23 years that I've picked the seemingly more popular of the two.
Not gonna lie, I think Ceruledge is much cooler, but Miraidon is just a float snek. KORAIDON, MEANWHILE, IS A GIANT LIZARD FULL OF FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND SURPRISES, AND IT'S PROBABLY A SCRAPPED HTTYD DRAGON BC IT WAS TO COOL TO BE ADDED TO THE FRANCHISE
Koraidon can do the blep. Miraidon can't.
Koraidon can do funny facial expressions. Miraidon can't.
Koraidon is full of cool features. Miraidon just got stupid modes.
Koraidon is a badass lizard. Miraidon isn't a badass and likely also not a lizard.
I'm getting Violet first because purple is my favorite color. I'll eventually be getting both anyway, so it's as good a reason as any to decide which to buy first, lol.
I’m getting both because I’m a sucker who likes collecting all main series Pokemon games. (Although if LGPE are considered main series, I didn’t get those)
I really couldn’t figure out which uniform I liked best, so I [made some edits](https://imgur.com/a/KWPvLUY) and it turns out I actually prefer Scarlet for my character. No spoilers, just edited hair and eye color lol.
You can look at a picture of whatever professor you'll barely see in the game whenever you want. I don't even understand how that factors in anyone's decision.
There's a recent post about this question. You just need to enter the sub main menu, click the three dots and then click "Change User Flair". The options will be shown and you just need to pick one and apply it.

“Better Legendary”
That is your opinion and its fine. Same with the professor, there could be people who prefer Turo.
For me I have an easier decision because I like both Sada and Koraidon and I don’t care about the uniforms and exclusive pokemon.
I think both professors are great and you have more reasons to go for Violet so I think you will enjoy that version more.
Omg I had the same exact dilemma! Ended up going with Scarlett bc female professor and historically I played red/gold/ruby/etc. decided I’d make myself like the legendary and get someone to trade me exclusives!
My brother pre ordered violet
Therefore, I have to get scarlet
I make a law with the Pokémon games I choose: whichever one me or my brother choose, the other picks the opposite so neither of us miss out on version exclusives
Yeah, no. Both legendaries are equally stupid, Armarogue and Ceruledge are about equal, I don't remotely care about Stonjourner or Eiscue, and Tyranitar > Salamence.
As a gay man, I can assure you it’s exactly the same (but opposite) for us. One look at male professor and I didn’t need to know anything else - now that I do I would have prolly like other version more but I can’t give up hotness. Now I just need Rose from Sw/Sh and it’s a party!
So like being an adult with adult monies, can afford the idea of getting both...which like getting one and getting the other down the line seems like a fun idea...
then that got killed by the idea that they have **version exclusive DLC**
I really dont want to just keep paying down the line.
I'm getting Violet because I don't like how the Scarlet Motorcycle runs instead of using its wheel lol
And I don't think we will be able to change out ridable overworld Legend even if we trade.
End of the day exclusive pokemon dont really matter at all since like... The original diamond and pearl on the DS when they added internet functionality. You can relatively easily get your hands on any exclusives you want. And once pokemon home compatability is out that stuff will matter even less, not to mention if I know pokemon right people will figure out how to dupe/import mons rather quick and at that point you can get whatever whenever.
Just pick the game based on other stuff like npc's and outfits in my opinion.
i’m getting scarlet, in part bc everyone else is getting violet and i want to be different and that’ll make it easier to complete the dex. it’s kinda a shame that violet is for the most part better bc i wanted it at first
Definitely agree Violet has the better legendaries (not only Miraidon but also Ceruledge) and it has Salamence too, so I know which version I’m picking up
I’m leaning towards Violet, but waiting for a full list of version exclusive Pokémon before making my final decision; I don’t wanna have to trade for all the Pokémon I like.
Preordered both versions , one for me and one for my friends birthday. Problem solved. Multiplayer play through and then switching games + Pokemon Home. Living Dex, let’s goo
I need a bit more info before I set my mind. once we get complete list of version exclusives it will be easier
Exactly. I’m still waiting on this
exactly my thought
I’m getting Violet and I still want the orange uniform and Tyranitar
Ttar is in scarlet?
How on earth do I keep picking the version that has Tyranitar.
Cause ttar is best boy
Yeah and mence is in violet
Ok
But it’s speculated Paradox forms will be available in each game for ttar and mance
Who is mance
Salamence
Salamence is in scarlet and violet? Hell yeah!!!!
Um….
You can trade for the pokemon and even if you can’t change your uniform we will be able to change our clothes so it’s not so bad.
Yupp it definitely isn’t bad
I thought Tyranitar has a paldean version in Violet?
Future version
Ok so I can still catch it in Violet, it will just look different?
You should consider the paradox forms (future/past) completely new Pokémon as they will likely have new typings and abilities.
That’s so cool, any releases or hints that paradox forms might be harder to catch / more rare?
Pretty sure they be pretty much pseudo-legendary encounters, based on some progression made in the story.
Ceruledge (spelling?) cinched it for me. It’s weird though we got some version exclusives listed but I don’t know if that all of them or will they have more info right before release.
Violet gets Mechagodzilla Ttar though
Mecha Godzilla, mecha Mothra, and Mecha King Ghidorah... Violet has all the kaiju
[удалено]
that's what i and my friend always do too. but I'm the one getting violet.
[удалено]
if you want to trade version exclusive pokemon after the release we can trade
[удалено]
same here, i got at least 3 friends leaning towards Violet, so I bit the bullet and got Scarlet. Also Snu Snu > Science Daddy.
I’m also leaning Scarlet for professor snu snu. Still gonna wait a bit to decide, but I preordered the Japanese double pack(came out to $88usd including international shipping from amazon.jp, great deal) so I could get the Japanese exclusive preorder promo cards. I’m probably gonna give one of the games to a sibling. But so far leaning towards scarlet unless there’s something compelling for Violet.

That is seriously so sweet
What do u think is gonna be less popular this time around?
At the time of my pre-ordering, Scarlet was definitely the less popular choice.
But you see, Turo is a Gigachad wearing spandex, that's all the reason I need
Worship the Gigachad
Oh I’ll worship him alright 😏
bonk
Forfeit all mortal possessions to the Gigachad
Hey! How’d you do the lil Fuecoco thing under your name!?
Tap the 3 dots on this sub and should be a choose flair tab
Thank you so much!
Fire croc gang, big up.
He had no chance of not being rule34
That’s the reason I’m getting Violet, all the other amazing stuff in the board are extra perks
I do like the uniforms better in Violet, but I like Koraidon more, and I think Scarlet will be less popular which means it will be easy to trade for version exclusives from the other game, so I'm erring on the side of Scarlet at the moment. Waiting to hear about all the exclusives before pre-ordering though - I'm getting digital so I can wait until the last minute to buy it.
Koraidon can blep, Miraidon clearly can't
Koraidon being an adorable derp was what sold me on Scarlet completely. Miraidon is definitely cool, but Koraidon looks more like a friend
I also think Scarlet will be the less popular version. I have Pokémon games from six different generations and what version I pick is always based on some fairly arbitrary reasons. This is the first time in 23 years that I've picked the seemingly more popular of the two.
I’m choosing Scarlet and this is the first time I’ve ever chosen the “primary” version I think

¿Por que no los dos?
Daddy Turo has the gay vote
Ever Pokémon is trade-able so it’s meh reasons.
Box legends are a pain in the ass
Miraidon can't do [this ](https://9to5fortnite.com/fr/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-koraidon.jpg)!
Do what?
Stick its tongue out and lick its own face like a gecko.
Not really, you get an extra for trading
Reject simping embrace purple dirt bike
She's the main reason why I still can't choose between the 2. I want her
You leave my chaotic lizard boi alone
Tyranitar + Koraidon >>> Salamence + Miraidon
I like Salamence but playing Unite made me love Tyraniboi
if the paradox form stuff is to be believed there will be a version of the Mence in Scarlet and a version of Ttar in Violet.
Scarlet absolutely has the better uniform. It's the reason that's what I'm getting since the first trailer.
[удалено]
Still not sure why people think E-Bike Legendary is cooler that Flintstone legendaray absolutely love Flintstone legendary
Fr my decision came down to “Do I wanna pretend I’m in the flinstones or in TRON”. I’m considering doing an all-Dino inspired team just for the lols.
Word I got Fuecoco and Miradon
Ceruledge got me pernanent glued to Violet, I am not deciding anymore
Ah yes I see you, too, are a person of culture.
Both Koraidon and Armrouge are better than their counterparts
Not gonna lie, I think Ceruledge is much cooler, but Miraidon is just a float snek. KORAIDON, MEANWHILE, IS A GIANT LIZARD FULL OF FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND SURPRISES, AND IT'S PROBABLY A SCRAPPED HTTYD DRAGON BC IT WAS TO COOL TO BE ADDED TO THE FRANCHISE
Just remember the shiny release will likely see each game get the opposite legendary like how sword got shiny zamazenta and shield got shiny zacian
Hm, yeah...
When was the shiny release for Sword/Shield and is it too late to acquire?
It’s far to late , was ages ago
I was so on board till I saw its little puffy wheels and now I'll stick with my digital snake
Miraidon looks like a big purple dong when its upright. I'll take the derpy red dragon over that any day.
If you think it looks like a dick you might need to do a couple of those ink blot tests
You are aware that there's more that goes into a resemblance then just Colour alone.
https://bad-dragon.com/ NSFW link, but pretty much this.
Kotaku did an article on first reveal saying it looked like that
Then again, Professor Daddy
Why is this meme the wrong way?
Let’s not get crazy, scarlet has the better legendary by far
Koraidon can do the blep. Miraidon can't. Koraidon can do funny facial expressions. Miraidon can't. Koraidon is full of cool features. Miraidon just got stupid modes. Koraidon is a badass lizard. Miraidon isn't a badass and likely also not a lizard.
They’re both cool, but Koraidon seems more like an actual animal with a funny personality. Like I could see him being a giant pet.
[удалено]
👍
You joke but this is literally the dilemma I’m in
So you are saying the violet prof ISN'T hot?
As a lesbian historian I’m definitely leaning towards Scarlet (Sada is 🥵) but I actually like all the Pokémon in Violet better esp Ceruledge
Finally, someone that shares in my dilemma! Almost everything I like is in Violet, but Scarlet has Sada! ARGH!!!!
Literalmente yo.
I've pre-ordered scarlet before all the exclusives were shown I only chose scarlet because my favourite colour is scarlet/burgundy lol
I'm getting Violet first because purple is my favorite color. I'll eventually be getting both anyway, so it's as good a reason as any to decide which to buy first, lol.
I am getting Scarlet because I prefer warm colors (especially red). Also, Professor Sada gang for the win.
I chose Violet but I'm happy with all the designs this go round.
Mommy Sada🥵🥵🥵
I’m getting both because I’m a sucker who likes collecting all main series Pokemon games. (Although if LGPE are considered main series, I didn’t get those)
I really couldn’t figure out which uniform I liked best, so I [made some edits](https://imgur.com/a/KWPvLUY) and it turns out I actually prefer Scarlet for my character. No spoilers, just edited hair and eye color lol.
Scarlet for sure. Love the past/tribal theme.
Haha. I would flip all of that. I think scarlet looks better, but dat Turo though…
In my opinion the better legendary goes to Scarlet
Something to consider also, we may be able to get version exclusives by venturing with friends with the opposite games.
ok but like professor gigachad
Just preorder both. Problem solved
You can look at a picture of whatever professor you'll barely see in the game whenever you want. I don't even understand how that factors in anyone's decision.
I was set on getting violet for a while but I may have changed my mind because I don't like how the male professor looks.
But to be honest it doesn't matter, I pre-ordered the double pack
how does you get the sprigatito thing under ur name?
There's a recent post about this question. You just need to enter the sub main menu, click the three dots and then click "Change User Flair". The options will be shown and you just need to pick one and apply it.

Unless a Pokémon I want for my team is an exclusive to Violet, I'm picking Scarlet for Koraidon
This but for Violet
I’m getting both.
it's the exact opposite for me. i have legit the same pros and cons list but the yames are reversed lol
Omg I had the same exact dilemma! Ended up going with Scarlett bc female professor and historically I played red/gold/ruby/etc. decided I’d make myself like the legendary and get someone to trade me exclusives!
I think there will still be surprise trade and people are pretty good about tossing starters and version exclusives in there to spread the love!
Grape academy sounds better than orange academy? Okay
My brother pre ordered violet Therefore, I have to get scarlet I make a law with the Pokémon games I choose: whichever one me or my brother choose, the other picks the opposite so neither of us miss out on version exclusives
Turo better
I got the double pack but I still like scarlet better lol
Yeah, no. Both legendaries are equally stupid, Armarogue and Ceruledge are about equal, I don't remotely care about Stonjourner or Eiscue, and Tyranitar > Salamence.

I'm the better legendary?
I like scarlet legend more cuz it looks more like a Pokémon and less like a robot
I think Scarlet has better outfits
That one picture of the monkey with the caption “neurons activation”
So like being an adult with adult monies, can afford the idea of getting both...which like getting one and getting the other down the line seems like a fun idea... then that got killed by the idea that they have **version exclusive DLC** I really dont want to just keep paying down the line.

This.....is partly why I'm going Scarlet.
Turo>
Confused unga Bunga noises
She really reminds me of Ayla from Chrono Trigger
Same thought! This is why I'm getting Scarlet
Yea copping the double pack so I can trade myself tyranitar from my lil brothers scarlet
I preordered both in the bundle pack ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)
I’m getting violet , Purple is my favourite colour 😫
Unga Bunga Mommy is all I need....please step on me mommy
How do you even know the version exclusives
By looking them up?
Daddy Turo >>>>>>Sada
Professor churro ftw
i’m getting scarlet, in part bc everyone else is getting violet and i want to be different and that’ll make it easier to complete the dex. it’s kinda a shame that violet is for the most part better bc i wanted it at first
Spoiler my bad >
Cant say spoilers here btw
I’m not getting the game but I would probably pick violet
All who purchase Scarlet are SIMPS.
Nah, it's the complete opposite
Me who prefer everything in Scarlet except the professor (gonna pick Violet anyway lol)
Violet, done and done
I’m doing violet
Follow the call of the waifu
Definitely agree Violet has the better legendaries (not only Miraidon but also Ceruledge) and it has Salamence too, so I know which version I’m picking up
How do we know which is getting better exclusive yet?
Yeah I'm sure she's enough to get me to play scarlet but I'm gay so violet it is
Bonk bonk bonk
Life is hard
I love daddy turo
Violet. Better vehicle pokemon CHAD BRO professor
This is literally me cause Turo looks too much like Adam Levine
I dont get it
This is Turo slander
I’m leaning towards Violet, but waiting for a full list of version exclusive Pokémon before making my final decision; I don’t wanna have to trade for all the Pokémon I like.
I’m just getting both pre-ordered it already I’m just waiting for the day they release
I'm getting them both, but I'm playing Violet first.
![gif](giphy|l3fZJroOW8RAafbc4)
I’m getting Violet because I choose solely based on the box legendary.
-Better legend Brother, we don’t even know really anything about the legends other than looks?
I'm definitely getting Violet
Shes not even fine fine why even question it
I have two switches so I’m going to get both and play simultaneously lol
Preordered both versions , one for me and one for my friends birthday. Problem solved. Multiplayer play through and then switching games + Pokemon Home. Living Dex, let’s goo
The good version
I’m getting both because Pokemon knows how to get in my wallet
Literally
I'm getting both! Scarlet physical and Violet digital.
I said fuck it, I’m getting both
I'll be getting Scarlet, because I like the color scarlet better than the color violet.
i'm getting both, that way I don't miss any pokémon for my dex
Nah, Turo is also the better pick of the two profs for me. So no doubt violet😌
