Salamence! It's my favorite Pokemon ever! I really love dragons, and Salamence has one of the coolest designs ever. I think that Metagross is still cool, and I like its concept. Shiny Metagross has a nice color scheme too.
'mence carries a lot of memories for me for when i used to have it as part of my gen 3 team. and i think in pokemon colosseum/XD. and i think i used to have it in other main game teams, too! i was (and still am to some extent) such a huge fan of it!! probably one of the very few non-cute pokemon i like, tbh.
metagross is alright, but i've never really had any particularly strong feelings about it.
Metagross. However, I do like the duality between the two:
ancient dragon vs. modern computer
Dragon Type vs Steel Type (the only type to actually resist Dragon back then)
Intimidate vs Clear Body
Salamence's high attack vs. Metagross' high defense
It all points toward Metagross being Salamence's nemesis in the worst type of way, basically countering all of its aspects. Of course, in practice things are a lot more difficult as Salamence has a lot of coverage to hit Metagross back.
I love Salamence. It's my favorite Dragon type. However I think I might like Metagross more. Especially it's mega.
Mega salamence has always looked weird to me.
Salamence by a hair. Views both as a little boring-looking. Sees Salamence as a generic dragon and Metagross as a four-legged metal sphere with an 'X' face. (Could boil a lot of good Pokemon down into terms like this, admittedly. Wonders why Avalugg never got the same love as Metagross, though. Considers them similar forms.)
I love both, however, Salamence truly has my heart! My second favourite dragon type (Garchomp slightly edging it out), my love for this majestic dual type pokemon is unmatched. Salamence just has such a simplistic, sleek, & elegant design. How I would love to ride atop one.
I prefer Metagross by a lot. I find Salamance way too generic for my taste, especially since we also got Flygon this gen and Dragonite and Charizard existed way before this one. and it has one of the worst (design-wise) mega evolution.
Metagross. He's much more unique looking. Nothing against Salamance but he has no qualities that make me gravitate to him more than Dragonite and Tyranitar.
well im more into water and fairy types and since azumaril could defeat salamence i prefer metagross but to be honest i dont like salamence anymore than i like blastiose or charizard
Allways struggled to like pseudo-legendaries. But I guess Metagross because it's more unique design and typing-wise, while Salamence didn't bring anything new to the table, it's pretty much a fusion between Charizard and Dragonite. I think Altaria was more original and stood out to me more than Salamence.
Metagross! Psychic is my favorite type, and many of my favorite pokemon, including Metagross, are Psychic types. I love the fact that it has the computational ability of a supercomputer. Also, it is the signature pokemon of the best Champion.
