Why can't you get both? It's not like they're each a hundred dollars (or whatever currency you have in your country). I've never played Pokemon a bunch, but it's a good practice to get the types that compliment each other. What one game has, the other one hasn't. And, think of all the people you could help if you had both copies. You could get another 3DS and carry all that shit around with you all the time. (I thought they were going to release a version of this on the Wii U...)
