Honestly the two boxarts is so close enough that they really should have just been one option for this poll imo. Only reason I voted for NA is because it has the "link to red to catch all 150 monsters" on the front of the box. I just think that is kind of a nice touch for a derp teen like me going into pokemon red blind (since that has the vice versa with linking to blue), but yeah this poll could go either way with NA and EU imo. --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx NS friend code:5313-0564-0819 Go buy cyber shadow like right now. <cite>Mad-Dogg posted [p:985841101] in Better box...
