For me, I tend to favor hg to be different from other people because a lot of people like lugia, which you can get first in ss and is the mascot. Also, you don't have to worry about being poisoned by weedles in hg unlike the beginning of ss. Howver, I dislike the fact that they switched what pokemon you get for hg and ss because hg gets pokemon from silver, and ss gets pokemon from gold. The reason why is obviously because some of the pokemon I like are now exclusive in ss, including teddiursa (if you haven't notice my username.) Though, I'm stilling sticking with hg. Though for the thread, it aks you what game you think is better? To me they're basically equal so I think the better question is to ask what you would you rather prefer?
