Which is better, Gold/Silver or Crystal?
The title says it all. Some people think Crystal was a step down from Gold/Silver. I think crystal was a huge improvement over Gold/Silver, in terms of graphics story and add-ons.
Whichever you think is better, give reasons why you think so. Otherwise, the argument is not to be considered a strong one. |
Crystal & Gold tie with me.
Crystal overall was a great game. But it really bothered me that you couldn't catch mareep in the game... |
Silver is my all-time favorite as it is the first one out of the series I got (my younger brother and I would each get the opposite of the series XD) but I like Crystal because it was the first one that you could play as a girl. Being a girl, that was great for me. If you could play as a girl in Silver, though, that would be case closed. :P
|
You should have a poll...
Anyways, I like crystal because the add ons they had. |
Crystal's the sure choice since it has more to it (I personally like the fact that it's the first Pokemon game in which the player character can be female, it also has other stuff that I care less about like the Battle Tower xD).
If there's a specific Pokemon you want that's in Gold or Silver only and you can't trade with anyone, that's really the only reason to not have Crystal. |
Crystal wins the prize, there were just so many new things that were on it that I liked.
|
The only thing I don't like about Crystal is that you can't get Mareep in the wild. :/
But Silver's actually my favorite. Gee. I wonder why... |
I really missed mareep in crystal, but extemespeed dratini made up for it. Crystal didn't really add anything though. Battle Tower, Female character is it I think. I have to play gold/silver now anyway, my crysta;'s internal battery died.

Anyway, I like G/S more because of no Mareep, and the fact that it's a huge pain in the ass to catch Ho-Oh. |
CRYSTAL DUDE!!!
Crystal, The Pokemon animations, The boy/girl option, And the Battle Tower.
|
I love Crystal. it was my favorite. I liked the plot more as well. I must also note that I had no clue about the legendary beasts until I played Crystal.... yeah... I loved the battle animations, choosing a girl character (who has been my most favorite character in anything since), and realizing how cute the Rival was and shipping them together. >.> <.< Silver is my next fave since it's the first one I got and I love Silver. ^^;
|
I played Gold first, and to be honest, I still like it best :/ Even though I'm in the middle of Crystal at the moment and enjoying it ^^ I guess it has to do with the feeling of originality that came with Gold. And......... Well, Gold isn't a bad character..... xD [/PokéSpeManiacSpeaking]

i own all but i have 300 hours in gold, and only 50 hours in crystal, so gold takes it out for me , just personal sentimental

I like Crystal the best because you had a choice to be a girl plus the other add ons.
But I still like gold and silver! |
Crystal would be by far (in my opinion), I've been playing for at least 6 years now and it is STILL my favorite Pokemon game (pretty much out of all consoles....). Silver and Gold I don't really admire, I haven't played those versions much at all and I never got the hang of the differences... Whatever that really means (lol). Well, nice thread to talk about this:D
|
I prefeer simple games, so gold/silver
|
I first got Gold Version, and than lost it when someone stole it from me. Than I got Silver Version, which became my favorite till Crystal was released. As a few people have already said, I love Crystal because you can play as a girl for once, the Battle Tower and alternate pokemon, plus you can catch Suicune earlier in the game!
|
Crystal's animations where pathetic.
Battle Tower in Crystal is better than Battle Tower in Ruby and Sapphire. Extremespeed Dratini is purely awesome :D Crystal>Gold/Silver But I have a sweet spot for Silver, it was my first pokemon game. So my preference is Silver>Crystal/Gold |
Gold was my first of the G/S/C editions, however Crystal wins it for me :)
|
Crystal imo is the best game due to all the graphical improvements and new sprites and stoof.
|
I have to say in my own personal opinion: Gold!
I was dissappointed that Crystal wasn't as unique as Yellow was to the Red/Blue games! Plus as everyone else has been saying: No Mareep! Ampharos was my best fighter on Gold! :D |
I prefer Crystal more because it has the battle tower and cool moving graphics and a little extra events I think!!! =]
|
What i thinks better
I prefer silver since it was the First Pokemon i ever played and everyone i knew had pokemon silver
|
I thought Crystal was pretty good, until I found out that I couldn't catch Mareep:
Me: What d'ya mean I can't get Mareep! I can't survive without an electric type! (Voltorb nudges towards me) Me: Screw you, Voltorb! Nobody likes you! I WAN'T MAH MAREEP!!! |
