Which game do you prefer?
 
Soul Silver and Heart Gold both had their own pros and cons. Not many major differences, like which legend you got at 45 or 70, or what pokes you found in the wild, but they were enough to change your mind on which game you got.

Which game did you get, if you did? Why did you get it? Was it the legend? Or the pokemon? Perhaps you had its previous version (gold/silver)? Or just cuz it sounded cool?

I got myself soul silver, since I had gold before and just wanted to try out something new.

Juzey September 27th, 2011 3:39 AM

I prefer gold to silver (as in the colours), and Fire-types to Water-types. So yeah, I got HG.

Rengoku September 27th, 2011 7:33 AM

Soulsilver, just because I bought Gold in the past and didn't get to have the epic Lugia's box.

But I end up playing Heartgold more in the end for some reasons.

Cariad September 27th, 2011 7:45 AM

I bought both, but I prefer Soulsilver because i'm a die hard Lugia fan.

Khall September 27th, 2011 8:15 AM

I bought both but I bought SS first because my first ever Pokemon game was Silver, even though I prefer HG more.

Brendino September 27th, 2011 12:37 PM

Originally I planned on getting SoulSilver, but they didn't have it, so I got HeartGold instead. I was going to get SS because I had Gold growing up and wanted a change, but it doesn't make too much of a difference to me either way.

DiabloMask September 27th, 2011 3:47 PM

Silver was the first pokemon game i played ever
and i picked soul silver because most of my favorite
pokemons (like Scyther and Lugia) are impossible to find
in gold, i was thinking of playing heart gold next
but i quit because i was still playing platinum.

Raizhu September 27th, 2011 3:58 PM

SoulSilver.
Kind of a random choice, really. But I preferred the version exclusives of SS at the time, and Lugia as well.

7Mufasa7 September 27th, 2011 7:10 PM

i prefer the version exclusives on HG but i chose SS...

weird huh... lugia convinced me... 0_0

Cataclysmic September 27th, 2011 7:27 PM

I bought HG (and the original Gold) first, but I prefer SS as my main game. SS has Meowth, my favorite Pokémon, so that helps. :)

Blazing Flare September 27th, 2011 11:30 PM

I prefer Soul Silver because it has more exclusives that I'm fond of (Ninetales, Ursaring) and also Lugia is cooler than Ho-oh in my opinion.

リザードン☆ September 29th, 2011 3:28 AM

I bought both HeartGold and SoulSilver as I did with Gold and Silver, but I much prefer SoulSilver because you get Lugia earlier than in HeartGold, in my opinion Lugia is a beast compared with Ho-Oh. I also prefer the Pokémon exclusive to SoulSilver.

Yoshikko October 1st, 2011 6:28 AM

Since I had Gold when I was little, I chose SS this time, even though Lugia and Ho-Oh really are on par for me, I like them equally. I have no idea what the version exclusives are lol, I got 8 badges in 23 hours apparently and I can't remember the slightest thing of it, I really need to play it again XD

PlatinumDude October 1st, 2011 6:58 AM

I like HeartGold better because I prefer Ho-oh over Lugia.

sherreamethyst October 1st, 2011 4:12 PM

In prefer Lugia(my favorite Legendary) to Ho-Oh any day. I've never really been a fan of Ho-Ohs, and I always think of the cylindrical, frosted, cream-filled cakes made by the Hostess company. X)

RivalGator October 2nd, 2011 1:19 PM

When the games came out, I pre-ordered both of them and rushed as quickly as I could to get them. I got them because I was such a fan of G/S/C. I was so excited for the release of those games that I could hardly sleep that night. I played SoulSilver the most though, at least for a while, because I had originally started with Gold.

cazzler October 4th, 2011 1:09 AM

I bought Heartgold since I prefer Ho-oh over Lugia but really the differences are subtle like you said.

chella182 October 4th, 2011 12:27 PM

I chose SoulSilver for a number of reasons:
  1. Lugia's my favourite Pokémon, so the boxart drew me instantly
  2. I had Gold back in the day and didn't rate it much
  3. I wanted Lugia in the game ASAP
  4. I personally prefer the version-exclusive Pokémon over those available in HG
  5. My friend had HeartGold, so I thought I'd get the opposite version

Sheep October 4th, 2011 12:39 PM

I got HG because I thought Ho-Oh looked much, much cooler than Lugia. That and I tend to prefer the underrated legendaries.

Also, I hate the whirlpools where Lugia is... I'd rather deal with the Bell Tower.

Oh, and my friend got SS. We always try to get different versions so HG it was.

Chikara October 4th, 2011 7:10 PM

HeartGold.

I got HG because a friend of mine decided on SS, and she is the Silver to my Gold. The Shiruba to my Hibiki. We is so cool.

Xebelleon October 4th, 2011 7:23 PM

HeartGold, if only because am further in it. Would love to reset it but its Pokewalker has some of the event routes.

Morgnarok October 5th, 2011 3:54 AM

Soulsilver, I transfered all my pokemon from platinum to it. I just liked some of the upgrades that it had, My favorite was how they took the yellow edition idea into affect and now your first pokemon on your team follows you around.

vaporeon7 October 6th, 2011 12:29 AM

I preferred Pokemon HeartGold. It was the one I got because I had Pokemon Gold as a child and I thought it would be more nostalgic to get HeartGold. I also preferred the version exclusive Pokemon better in HeartGold than in SoulSilver.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ October 9th, 2011 5:49 AM

Which game did you get, if you did?
Pokemon Soul Sivler

Why did you get it?
Because I like the color

Was it the legend?
Yeah, that was another reason, I wanted Lugia first

Or the pokemon?
I favored Groudon over Kyogre and Vulpix over Growlithe

Perhaps you had its previous version (gold/silver)?
I acutally had both Pokemon Gold and Silver\

PelipperMail October 9th, 2011 2:28 PM

Which game did you get, if you did?
I bought Pokémon Soul Silver.

Why did you get it?
Mainly because I prefer Silver over Gold, but because I'm a hipster and other people would have HeartGold I wanted to even out the distribution amongst fans.

Was it the legend?
Or the pokemon?
No, not really. Personally I prefer Ho-oh over Lugia. But Ninetales, Ursaring and Ledian were a factor in me buying it.

Perhaps you had its previous version (gold/silver)?

I had Gold. :S I guess I'm a nostalgic traitor.
