I haven't decided, myself.

Diamond, I prefer most of its version exclusives. Besides, I can always trade the version exclusives with one of my friends who I believe is getting Pearl.

What are the exclusives to each version besides the other Poke'mon? (If there are none I would pick Pearl as that cool thing on the box appears)

I actually don't like the big spherical things on Palkia's shoulders as much as I like Dialga's overall look, because they remind me more of medieval outfits. Also, I like blue and silver more than those reddish colors.

I chose Diamond quite some time ago for no reason other than that Pearl, to me, will always be PERL. But I think mecha-Godzilla on Pearl is the better looking legendary.

Same. But I hate it how my country gets a major delay for every game.

Whut?

I chose Pearl because a) I already have it as of about an hour ago and 2) one of its version exclusives(Misdreavus) is in my Top Six.

I ended up randomly choosing Pearl. Still no good reason but I guess it's a shorter word and pearls seems a bit more mystical to me than diamonds.

I'll be buying Diamond next time I have $35, because it's the "blue" version, and I've had Blue/Silver/Sapphire/LeafGreen, and am not going to break that line of main games now (I technically already broke it with Red Rescue Team). YES, LIZARD DUDE, I'LL BE BUYING IT NEW.

For some reason, Pearl sems more like the "blue" version to me.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

Well, I wanted Diamond (less pink, if you want an honest answer), but I got Pearl 'cause my brother wanted Diamond too, and he reserved it (though they never ponied up the special stylus, which can really PO a person...). Obviously, it defeats the whole purpose of you and your sibling getting Pokemon if you both get the same thing, so Pearl for me since Friday! Quite addictive, really (I'm almost on the third gym and still goin' strong), but I think there's too many 'mons from the previous titles...

I know it's necessary to create a new title, but I'm getting kind of tired of watching the already-enormous amount of Pokemon available expand.

I got Pearl because I prefer Palkia over Dialga.  But I noticed that there are some Diamond exclusives that I prefer.  Looks like I'll be spending some time with the GTS.

I found out another good thing about my choice: I can't get Stunky. Why does this please me, you ask?
