I'm only getting Diamond because I have Blue, Silver and Sapphire. It's tradition.
Red and BLUE
Gold and SILVER
Ruby and SAPPHIRE
DIAMOND and Pearl.
You screwed up there, chief
But pearl is pink. And diamond is blue.
Red+white=pink
But silver is grey. And what about Fire Red and Leaf Green?
PHAIL
Green is half blue, and Silver is a natural complement to blue.
Green is also half yellow, which is the redder color and actually gold is the complement to blue as it's closer to orange.
No way man, everybody knows gold goes better with red.
I know several designers and science teachers that disagree with you. Violently.
Look, I'm just trying to point out that Meissnerd's color choice makes him a complete failure and that his mom never loved him. Stop getting in the way.
It seems like when they release two new Pokemon games, they try to theme them slightly (in terms of exclusive pokemon, exclusive items, legendaries, and even minor story elements) so they don't feel like exact copies with a slightly different monster set. One version tends to feel flashier, while the other is more subdued and quirky. I haven't seen a list of differences between the two yet, but it seems like Diamond very much fits into the "flashy, more brute force and raw power" camp (along with Fire, Gold, and Red), while Pearl seems like it would work better in the "subdued, quirky, and subtle" camp (along with Leaf, Silver, and Blue.)
Speaking of which... I spent a few minutes over at the hated GameFAQs trying to find a Diamond/Pearl exclusive pokemon list, but couldn't turn up anything. Have they released one yet?

There's one on Serebii, but I am too lazy to find it for you, however.
But Pearl has Houndoom which is a good selling point.
The versions I bought were Blue, Silver, Ruby, FR and now Diamond. So I don't really follow the trend. Just whichever one has Scyther. Except Blue, cause I didn't like Scyther much till Scizor came about.

I'm getting both (preordered both, even) and am considering getting a second (pink) DS just to play pearl on. Yes, I am quite insane, thank you. :P
Meh doesn't matter to me which version I get. Any exclusives I'd be worried about I already get via Colosseum and XD. I'll probably go with Pearl to go against the fold.
One thing I'm glad about the new versions is that there won't be plot differences. I know I'm in a very small minority but I want to experience all the stories no matter how similar they are. I'm finding it difficult to not get both Ruby and Sapphire despite the fact that I already got Emerald.

Since I know someone getting Pearl, there wasn't much of a decision for me. I can get any pokemon I can't get Diamond off her, or other people online. All I really want from the Pearl exclusive list is Pinsir anyway.

I never thought of it that way, but you might be on to something.
I'm 90% sure that you can't get Espeon and Umbreon in FireRed/LeafGreen because there is no way to tell if it's day or night. I remember trading Eevees back down to Ruby to evolve them. So you may need to wait until D/P to get those two.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I would assume that FR/LG use the same system that R/S used, between 12pm (afternoon) and 12 am you get Umbreon and 12am and 12 pm (morning) you get Espeon.
edit: Checked Serebii. It does not work.
That's kinda weird.
edit2: Well I guess so you can't have Espeon or Umbreon before you get the National Dex.

Well, except that FR/LG can't do that because neither FR nor LG actually has an internal clock. So they can't tell time at all. I mean, I've never tried Happy-ifying an Eevee in FR/LG, but I've always heard that you can't get Umbr/Espeon thanks to the lack of the internal clock.

It's really easy to miss that FR/LG lack the clock. Thanks to the extremely understated clock in RSE [and the lack of day and night], I forget that they even have a clock. It's not like the thing's used much at all except for Espeon and Umbreon, only you need to trade with FR/LG to even get an Eevee.

Also, Yellow is a significantly less reddish color than Red.
COLOR FIGHT.
So are diamonds.
WHICH WILL YOU PICK NOW, MEISS!?

If I had any photoshop skills, I would add in COLOR FIGHT! to that one PBF comic where the fat guy gets slapped. It would work so well.
I'm picking Diamond!

So it's the complement to that.
Yeah, but you get less PP.
Cool, thanks! Looks like I made the right choice (the evolved version of Misdraevous looks awesome.)
edit: Hypnosis got a boost to 70% btw
I never thought of it that way, but you might be on to something.
Where does the third version fit into this?
I can just keep breeding Eevee and Ditto to get all the evo's, right?
PKMN White FC: 0046 2138 1298
Yes.
The old man says my Ditto and Eevee don't like each other.
Anything I can do, or does it not matter?
PKMN White FC: 0046 2138 1298
Dosn't matter.
They should still be able to breed. I think if he says "they prefer to play with other pokemon" that's when they'll never get their groove on.

Booze and Barry White music.
Actually, I believe that that message just means it'll take longer to get an egg, not that it won't happen.
