  • Silver

    In my childhood I got Silver (don't remember how, maybe in birthday) so I hadn't a choice, but with the HG/SS games I bought SS because I was already familiarized with the game :)

    Gold, it was what I played first and what I got the most far in, but in all honesty, I like both :D

  • Silver was the 1st handheld pokemon game that I ever played, and even though I couldn't get the pokemon that I really wanted back then, growlithe, lugia made up for that. Lugia, which just moght be my facorite legendary.

  • Although my first game was Gold, and Gold had Mantine in it, I'll say Silver. It had Lugia in it, which is always cool. Plsu, I always felt that Silver had more Pokemon to choose from rather than Gold. Silver seemed to have Vulpix, Meowth and a few others while Gold only had Mantine.

  • I prefer silver far above gold because:

    - It was my first game.
    - Lugia is so much cooler than ho-oh.
    - The color is more beautiful
    - I like the sprites much more.

    I also bought Soul silver :)

  • (Crystal is better than them both.)I'd have to go with Gold, but I like Soulsilver better.

  • Gold was the first game I owned, but after I got stuck in the Whirl Islands with no Flash or Escape Ropes I sort of went off it...
    Silver has been my favourite game ever since. To this day I'd prefer to play Soul Silver to any other game.

  • I've only ever played Silver, and every time I do it brings back so many memories from my past. So I couldn't bring myself to buy Heart Gold since Silver was too important to me.

    Plus, Lugia is so much cooler in my opinion xD

  • Silver. The first Pokemon game I ever played as a kid, and I still love it. Not a huge difference, besides the Version exclusives, but I just really like Silver. Lugia >= Ho Oh to me, but that's just cause I'm not a huge fan of bird pokemon besides Pidgey/otto/ot and some of the occasional others.

  • Well I have Gold, Silver, and Crystal. I love them all but if I had to choose one, it would probably be Silver.
