I don't really care, to be honest, about either. Although I would vastly prefer day/night evos, I think that it is likely judging by what they did with Rockruff that they'll go for the version exclusive angle. Honestly though, Game Freak has been doing stuff like this for years. To me, a version exclusive evolution is little different than a version exclusive Pokemon that I want and cannot have. It isn't really all that new or revolutionary of an idea, and I'm surprised it took them this long to implement it. It helps that I will have access to both versions, as my husband will be playing too. Of course, my opinion of this would sour considerably if they made it so that a Pokemon GENERATED in a version can only evolve into that version's exclusive, even if you trade it to the other. I highly dislike using traded Pokemon.
But yes, giving the starters branching evolutions is something we would've never imagined, something new for the series. Whatever direction they go with, I hope it happens because it's so interesting. The problem of completely dismissing a starter because it's final evolution is really ugly to me would be mitigated considerably. I would quite enjoy that.
