    Which do you think is better? I rather the Gold version sprites because the Silver version sprites look odd. I'm talking about the majority of the sprites not just a single one sprite being better. And the reason that the Crystal sprites are not in this poll is because they are undeniably better.

    https://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/020/picdex - Is a link for those who need a better comparison.

    https://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/167/picdex - To show how much the Crystal version own is better

    EDIT: It's strange that Gold's Lugia sprite is better that Silver's Lugia sprite but Silver's Ho-oh's sprite is better than Gold's Ho-oh sprite.

    Lugia's sprite: https://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/249/picdex Lugia looks fat
    Ho-oh's sprite: https://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/250/picdex Ho-oh looks much more phoenixish which is good

    Atleast for Crystal the colours are accurate.
    I choose Silver as my choice,I looked at other sprites and they look pretty good,better than gold sometimes.

    I have looked at both, and I would say Gold is better. There is no bias there, they just, in my opinion, look alot better =D

    The Houndoom sprite on both looks pretty bad, but worse in Silver, sadly. :(

    With that said, looking at Tyrogue and Smoochum (two randomly picked Pokemon), I'm going to have to say Silver. Tyrogue's gold sprite looks out of proportion and bland, whereas Silver's sprite's more... interesting. As for Smoochum, I don't like it anyway to be honest, but on Silver, again, it doesn't look so bland. :X

    Gold's sprites look a bit more...natural in my opinion. Look at Crobat's to see a good example. :P

    Silver's because I'm a biased punk who didn't play Gold, so I have no reason for liking it better, otherwise I should have gotten that game instead of Silver, then my answer would have changed.
