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...
