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 :)

Hooh May 6th, 2011 6:35 PM

Gold. Ho-Oh has always been beautiful, but Lugias just... Uck.

Ieges May 7th, 2011 5:09 AM

ho-oh just looks like a turkey to me. Lugia pwns.

Oharo May 8th, 2011 3:49 AM

I got Silver for Skarmory. The legendaries were just made for capturing for teh lulz then sent to THE BOX.

SuperSaiyanII May 8th, 2011 7:53 AM

I like the version exclusives of Silver better so that's the one I'll go with.

Charizard★ May 12th, 2011 3:18 PM

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

Venzeron May 31st, 2011 3:15 PM

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.

Silver. Second best color, prettier than gold, and Lugia.

shinysweety June 2nd, 2011 5:18 AM

Got to be Silver, It was the first pokemon game i have ever played. Good times.... Good times.

Alternative June 2nd, 2011 5:23 AM

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 :)

YungKnowledge June 5th, 2011 10:20 AM

Gold because it was the one brought for myself.

and caught Ho-Ho on my first play through.

Flashmeteor June 5th, 2011 10:43 AM

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

DavidBarnes June 5th, 2011 11:01 AM

I love Ho-Oh. I love Gold. I just love everything about Gold version more than Silver.

Arcaray June 5th, 2011 12:26 PM

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.

Hilbert June 5th, 2011 12:28 PM

Silver altought from the remakes i bought heartgold

feralig8rx June 13th, 2011 9:26 PM

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

Femme Fatale June 14th, 2011 7:08 PM

Gold! I love Ho-Oh and Phanpy <3

Pokemon Game Fan June 16th, 2011 10:31 AM

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.

RHCPlover June 18th, 2011 2:15 PM

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

Atomic Pirate June 25th, 2011 4:09 PM

I say Gold. I never really liked Lugia much, and I always thought Ho-Oh was cooler. Plus, you can get Arcanine and Ariados as version exclusives. And, of course, Gligar!

Frisky Arcanine June 25th, 2011 7:04 PM

Silver for sure, honestly just because I like silver more than gold IRL (unless it's white gold) :p Ho-Oh and Lugia were never factors for me, even back then I didn't like using legendaries much

But really now, I prefer Crystal over both versions now

DJrulz97 June 27th, 2011 7:49 PM

My favourite is Gold because of the bell tower

Mentalii July 3rd, 2011 12:12 PM

Me I prefer the Silver version, and it will always be my favourite version of all of them. Just, look at Lugia, a Fly/Psy Pokemon, it's just perfect ! :D
Oh-Ho is really majestic, but I don't know, just seeing the game out the console, Lugia on this silver background... That makes me dreaming :)

Gold because I can like its version exclusives better
