Gold sprites vs. Silver Sprites
 
Which do you think is better? I rather the Gold version sprites because the Silver version sprites look odd. I'm talking about the majority of the sprites not just a single one sprite being better. And the reason that the Crystal sprites are not in this poll is because they are undeniably better.

http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/020/picdex - Is a link for those who need a better comparison.

http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/167/picdex - To show how much the Crystal version own is better

EDIT: It's strange that Gold's Lugia sprite is better that Silver's Lugia sprite but Silver's Ho-oh's sprite is better than Gold's Ho-oh sprite.

Lugia's sprite: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/249/picdex Lugia looks fat
Ho-oh's sprite: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/250/picdex Ho-oh looks much more phoenixish which is good

SILVER! I'm not sure why, I just prefer them.

Sam.Is.Dead. August 28th, 2009 2:50 PM

I would have to go with silver, i grew up with silver

Atleast for Crystal the colours are accurate.
I choose Silver as my choice,I looked at other sprites and they look pretty good,better than gold sometimes.

I liked the game Silver more so its Silver for me


:t354:TG

Tudj August 29th, 2009 4:26 AM

So i guess im the one stuck with Gold hehe well maybe because that was my first game but still.......

Lady Gaga August 29th, 2009 4:43 AM

I have looked at both, and I would say Gold is better. There is no bias there, they just, in my opinion, look alot better =D

Satoshi Ookami August 29th, 2009 5:45 AM

Silver it was my first 2nd generation game.
In fact I didn't know that those games have different sprites... xD

Lukum August 29th, 2009 5:49 AM

I prefer Gold dont know y, just do :(

mondays suck August 30th, 2009 1:13 AM

silver, pidgey looks way to intimidating in gold xD

Superjub August 31st, 2009 2:09 PM

The Houndoom sprite on both looks pretty bad, but worse in Silver, sadly. :(

With that said, looking at Tyrogue and Smoochum (two randomly picked Pokemon), I'm going to have to say Silver. Tyrogue's gold sprite looks out of proportion and bland, whereas Silver's sprite's more... interesting. As for Smoochum, I don't like it anyway to be honest, but on Silver, again, it doesn't look so bland. :X

Timbjerr August 31st, 2009 4:27 PM

Gold's sprites look a bit more...natural in my opinion. Look at Crobat's to see a good example. :P

Ru-Kun August 31st, 2009 4:42 PM

Silver definetly, that's what I grew up with.

Sydian August 31st, 2009 5:48 PM

I'm biased and I'm going to say Crystal Silver. :B

Munch Dog August 31st, 2009 8:28 PM

Gold. Silver's sprites always looked odd to me compared to Gold's sprites.

angelsavoir August 31st, 2009 8:37 PM

I pefer gold verison to silver.

Apathetic_Yen August 31st, 2009 10:19 PM

Silver's because I'm a biased punk who didn't play Gold, so I have no reason for liking it better, otherwise I should have gotten that game instead of Silver, then my answer would have changed.

Gold Version sprites = lulz

evilmagikarp94 September 2nd, 2009 6:43 AM

Definitely Silver, Gold sprites are just not natural to me.

HeidiMoose September 3rd, 2009 9:47 AM

For the most part, I much prefer the Silver sprites.
There are a few exceptions.

TheUltimat September 3rd, 2009 9:47 AM

Silver, as I think the Typhlosion sprite in Gold looks stupid.

Mattysaurus September 3rd, 2009 3:26 PM

The Silver ones have more emotion in meh opinion...
But Gold was good too..
Three cheers for the 2nd Gen!!
Hup! Hup!

Teh Blazer September 3rd, 2009 3:30 PM

Silver was my childhood. Yeah, I like Silver sprites waaaaay more than Gold.

シルバー September 3rd, 2009 5:00 PM

Silver all the way baby :D

Riggzyd September 3rd, 2009 6:16 PM
