I hate the whirl islands, but the reason I chose HG is because Gold was always my favorite of the three. Crystal was a very close second, but the way you got Ho-oh aggravated me.

I prefer HeartGold because I played the heck out of Gold a while ago, and in my opinion HeartGold had better exclusives like Arcanine and Ariados. I'd rather Ariados over Ledian any day :p

also, Ho-Oh's a really cool legendary, being a rainbow bird. That theme though. Yeeeees. Lugia's still awesome, but Ho-oh's just that inch on top.

HeartGold for Ho-oh. The scene where Ho-oh flies down to battle you and the ritual that the Kimono Girls perform to summon it all go together so well.

Plus, Growlithe.

Bought SoulSilver for Lugia, but Spinarak is so cute ;__; I was honestly torn for a while. Ended up trading with my friend to eventually have Ariados on my team. Ledian is still a pretty cool Pokemon, though, so that and my preference of Lugia over Ho-Oh were the main reasons I decided on SS.

I prefer HeartGold, but honestly like Lugia more than Ho-Oh. (Though I still like both.) Gold is something I've always liked better than silver. Often, I opt for gold jewelry instead. (Funnily enough though, my first game was Silver because it came in a pack with a significantly less ugly Gameboy than Gold.)

Still, HG has Growlithe and Arcanine, and they were once my favorite Pokemon of all time. Of course, SS doesn't lag too far behind with Vulpix and Ninetales, who were also former favorites of mine. Still, I preferred using the former many times, so I went with HG anyway.

i think for a lot of people its heart gold. because in the first episode of pokemon ash sees ho-oh flying across the rainbow so i think you feel a bit of a connection with ho-oh, this probably only refers to people born before 94

True that, but if it were matter of anime which would determine which one most would prefer,it would probably be Soulsilver. While Ash did see (and only see) Ho-Oh, he did actually RIDE a Lugia, not to mention Lugia got it's own movie not to mention he is so much better looking, sorry ho-oh I like you too tho

Had to point that out xD

pokeguy1417 May 24th, 2014 12:30 PM

that is a good point but at the point of him seeing ho-oh, it didn't even exist in the world it was barely even legend you know? so yes riding lugia was cool but witnessing a pokemon such as ho-oh that didn't even exist at the time and being the first episode the connection would still have to be stronger with ho-oh,(for me anyways) and in my opinion lugia looks cool but ho-oh has so much more going on, its like looking at a fashion model for Old Navy then looking at a victorias secret model haha
