Soul Silver for aesthetic reasons because Lugia is one my favorite Pokemon.

Soul Silver! I have fond memories of playing Pokemon Silver back when I was a kid. Loved it a ton, and I played it a lot, too. I can't remember how many times I've beaten it, haha.

I guess it's nostalgia that made me like it more. That, and I also prefer Lugia's design to Ho-Oh's. :>

I used to have both of them, but recently i rebought SoulSilver. I like SoulSilver better because I have always loved Lugia way more than Ho-Oh, and because as a kid i had several level 100 pokemon and on gold i did not.

HeartGold is my favorite, mainly just because I prefer Ho-oh over Lugia. But the reason I bought it was because I played Silver when I was younger, and I wanted to try the other version.

Soul Silver for me, I originally chose Pokémon Silver back in 1999 when those games were first release.. so for obvious reasions I chose SS.

SoulSilver all the way! I am playing it at the moment, I love Johto league and Johto starters my fav of course Cindaquil then Chicorita and at the end Totodile. I like story with Egg and that you have Togepi and Lugia is pretty cool! Plus would love to try out a pokewalker but they cost like 15-20 pound on its own :( i might buy it anyway in near future ^^

SS, just because my first game was Silver rather than Gold, haha. Not much difference between the two that I'd care much (heck, you can get both legends), but I do like Lugia more than Ho-oh.

I gotta go with SoulSilver. It had better version exclusives, Lugia earlier in the game and I got Silver when I was little so I guess nostalgia counts too lol.

I played Silver, so I had to go for Soulsilver, just to buy a DS version of Silver. I prefer the exclusives in SS over HG. Lanturn and Skarmory are only available in SS.

This is a tough decision for me. I've played and loved both versions. I do have preference of Lugia over Ho-oh, but HG also made me love Ho-oh a lot more than I used to, so it's a very close match. Which version has Growlithe, though? HG? Okay, I'll go with that.

I like SoulSilver more only because it's the one I played. xD I like Lugia more than Ho-Oh anyway. :3 But if I could, I would play HeartGold.

I played Gold as a child but voted SS on the poll because that's the one I own. I would have bought HG but I was buying used and every place I looked only had SS.
