2nd Gen Silver VS Gold...which is Better?

[Skelter]

voted silver. why? because it beats gold in every way, that's why....

 

[Lugia LoveLust]

Silver!
Obviousily cause of Lugia :]
And the sprites look way better

I think silver's sprites are waaay better.

I don't know what you're trying to prove with that one. Sliver's Ekans sprite looks loving horrible.

Well, Gold's sprites have faded colors. And silver's sprites have vivid colors.

Well, Silver is my overall favourite game, so I'm going with that one. I don't have much of a reason, except that I find it more fun to play than my Gold version (for some odd reason), and it was the first of the Metal generation games that I bought.

Now it's been mentioned, I actually prefer the sprites in Gold because of their poses, but still Silver all the way in my opinion =]

It still doesn't make up for the fact that Ekans looks like a dead worm. "Vivid" colors or not.

Just to make people happy I will contrast more of their sprites.

I'm going to go with Gold, for personal reasons. Ever since my Silver version deleted itself (with my strongest and rarest pokemon on it), I've just disliked it ever since.

So yeah, I'm going with Gold.

 

[Yellow Magikoopa]

Feraligatr's sprite in silver is kinda crappy. :S

But still, Silver has mostly better sprites, and it makes more sense to put Lugia in Whirl Islands instead of Tin Tower.

Huh? Lugia is in the Whirl Islands in both games. As is Ho-oh in the Tin Tower in both games.

Why are all the Gold sprites so horribly shaded?

Silver:

You really should pick better sprites to compare, it's impossible to make a HootHoot look horrible. And I like Gold's HootHoot sprite. In fact I like most of the coloration Gold's sprites because they just look warmer than Sliver's.

Also, you forgot to compare Gold and Silver's Pikachu.

What shading? Gold and Sliver sprites don't have any shading. I have a hunch that Gold's sprites were made before Silver's, but I could be wrong. They just have a R/B/Y feel to me.

 

[The Real AAA]

Well the stripe's pokemon position look better in gold but the stripe's colour looks better on silver

Wasn't trying to make either one look bad, just contrasting them.

^_^

P.S. I agree with you on that. About gold's being made before silver's anyway.

Fine. Coloring, whatever.

The Gold sprites are so much paler and duller than the Silver ones. I agree that they have a Gen I feel.


Note: Wow, 100 posts. Umm, yay?

you can get ho-oh and lugia in both games, but personally i like gold, one reason because growlithe is coolier than vulpix

Yeah, you can get them in both, but in Silver Lugia has Aeroblast and in Gold, Ho-oh has Sacred Fire. Some people prefer one move and/or pokemon over the other for one reson or another.

 

[RadioactiveRice]

Ho-Oh is awesome! gold Forever!

 

[シーツー]

I only had Gold for about a year and Silver for a few weeks, so I don´t have a real opinion.
But I had Gold longer so I like it better. (Although I think that Lugia is cooler than Ho-Oh.)

 

[Mewtwo42]

Yeah, I had Gold for like a month, so I didn't have an opinion. But, then I got it again and got an opinion because I beat it. Silver has some better points.(jeez my veiws on this keep changing!! XI)

Having the poll pretty much always an even 50%-50% is kind of annoying...
