    It may be nostalgia I've always liked Lugia more even though I think Ho-oh is better in game.

    • I'm not really into either one, I prefer third generation's legendarys.

    Anyways, Lugia, because trading it will get you better stuff than trading Ho-Oh.

    • My first ever Pokemon Game was Silver, so I will always prefer Lugia. Besides that, I find that Lugia is the only legendary Pokemon I've ever actually wanted to keep in my team and train. I find that with Aeroblast, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam and Psychic, it's a brilliant tool for powering through the Elite Four. As much as I love fire types, Ho-oh never really cut the mustard for me. Also, it looks kinda creepy.

    I prefer Lugia more. I aways have, Ive always seen Ho-oh as being kind of weird for some reason. Lugia is pretty much the reason I started playing Pokemon anyway.

    I prefer Ho-Oh over Lugia. It seems a bit more symbolic in comparison. That, and it has a great battle theme in HG and SS.

    • I've preferred Ho-Oh ever since I was a kid and had Gold. I have nothing against Lugia and I like the both of them, but I've always identified more with the mascot of Gold and Heart Gold. I guess it's because I adored Ecruteak and the stories surrounding Ho-Oh.

    • I've always like Lugia, probably because I have SoulSilver and normal Silver. I still get Ho-oh but I never use him. Having said that I never use either of them but Lugia looks cooler!

    • Ho-Oh since it's very powerful and it has a lot of powers none of the other legendary Pokemon of the time used to have - such as reviving dead Pokemon in the form of new legends.

    lugia seems more "offensive" if you like. ho-oh seems to use a lot of stat changer's which isn't really how i play...

    • When I first saw both of them, I thought Lugia was Water-Flying and Ho-oh was Fire-Flying.
    So, because I like Water types, I said Lugia was cooler.
    Then when I realised it was a Psychic-Flying Pokemon, I thought it didn't make much sense and decided to go with Ho-oh instead.
    And I still think the same.

    • Always had a personal preference for Lugia myself, though that could be because Silver was my initial choice over Gold and I must have played it christ knows how many times through before giving Gold a shot.

    Ho-Oh is also pretty cool in my opinion, for similar reasons to why I favored Moltres over the other two birds, but I guess Lugia's overall appearance and my experience with him cuts deeper.

    • I choose Lugia because of its majesticness, because of its role in Movie 2, the mystery behing the Whirl Islands, the fact that I've owned three copies of SoulSilver, and because of the titlescreen animation in the original Silver version. Even though the only Generation II game I've actually owned and played was Gold version, I still pick Lugia :3.

    Ugh, I love them both too much to decide. I'm a sucker for rainbows, so I think Ho-Oh's multicoloured design is just awesome, while Lugia's sleek, dragon-like appearance also appeals to me. Lugia's typing and movepool are intriguing, but I prefer Ho-Oh's more offensively-orientated stat distribution.

    If I had to choose, though, I'd pick Ho-Oh, since it's the one I'd most likely use based on its stats.

    • I always used to prefer Lugia cause Ho-Oh reminded me too much of Moltres (one of my all time favourite pokémon) but actually I think I prefer Ho-Oh now lol xD To be honest, I do really like them both - I think it's the only Gen I can say that about :)

    I got HeartGold so I preferred Ho-Oh over Lugia. However when I caught Lugia, I got obsessed with it. So my vote goes to Lugia! :D
