SoulSilver. I've got Gold and Crystal, so getting SoulSilver will round out my Gen II game trio, in a roundabout way. :D Plus, I now think silver is prettier than gold, and I adore that little Lugia soul-fire-ball logo.

... Hey, they're basically the same game, I can base my decision on logos if I want. XD

I may change my mind when the games are released in Japan and we find out which Pokémon are exclusives to which games, so I can pick the one that has whatever Pokémon I'd rather catch; barring that, though, definitely SoulSilver.

I'm getting Gold. I already have access to lots of Lugia's, but it's freaking hard to find a legitimate Ho-oh...

Heart Gold first, as Gold version was the first of the Johto games I got, followed by Silver. After Gold, if I love it so much, I'll get the remade Gold version so that I don't have to start over. :)

I posted here before i think but i've decided what i'm getting-
Heart Gold. For reasons i don't quite understand...:
Lugia > Ho-Oh, IMO.
I've played all in the past, but Silver most diligently.
Soul Silver sounds far less cheesy than Heart Gold. (I mean I'll be treated like a tool in GameStop when i go to get Heart Gold- when i got Pearl, the shopkeeper basically peed his pants, because it's all white and pink. I can only imagine what'll happen when i go for a game called ''HeartGold''.
But i'm still getting it anyways. Just... Because.

This is true dedication, bros.



As for me, I'm undecided.

Pokemon Gold was my favorite Pokemon game, so I'll choose Heart Gold.

Simple Answer. I've always gotten the "second" game in the series and where it applies, I also obtained the "Special" game.
So in order: Blue, Yellow, Silver, Crystal, Sapphire, Emerald, LeafGreen, Pearl, (Planning on getting Platinum) and finally, I plan to get SoulSilver.
Not sure why I always got the second ones, they always seemed more appealing to me for some unknown reason.
Granted, I suppose it was the names and/or colours that appealed to me more.
Silver being my fave colour.

Haha, I've done the same thing and pretty much for the same reason (except I don't have Pearl/Platinum because I don't have a DS...yet). It was mostly for the colors, and I usually tended to prefer the mascots of the "second" one, as well (although Charizard > Venasaur). I'll probably get SoulSilver because I had Silver version, and because I prefer Lugia.

HeartGold. I played the original Silver version, so I think it'd be nice to switch it up a bit and get HeartGold. :)

I may get SoulSilver though. If there's any major differences between the two games. (Which I doubt. =/ But you never know. xD)

No idea yet. I'm going to wait to see what the differences will be between the versions.

They couldn't have thought of better names could they? o.o Most of the GS remakes in this community have better ones.

I'm getting Heart Gold first and Soul Silver later on. Heart Gold was the first pokemon game I bought with my own money when I was young, and it's the one that holds the most memories.

I'm getting Heart Gold, as Pokémon Gold is one of the first games I've played. (Still have it, too.)

Heart Gold. I had gold as a child, gonna continue with the pattern.
No, both.


I've heard people say that they decided against Heart Gold because of the name alone. I can only say that a true Pokefan would play a game regardless of names.

Both, of course. :] Well, one at a time, that's for sure. I'd want to get Soul Silver first, I've always liked Silver over Gold (the colors, mind you). Once I beat the game and I'm still interested, I'll get Heart Gold. =] Just makes trading and stuff easy, I have two DSes (one's my sisters)

I am getting Heart Gold mainly because I like the color gold more than silver. Gold was also probably the first game I ever played.

I'm importing Heart Gold and getting Soul Silver in English. It's what I've always done with Rockman.exe and Ryuusei no Rockman. I didn't start doing that with Pokemon until Diamond and Pearl. Where I have Japanese Diamond, English Pearl, Japanese Platinum, and English Platinum.

Can I read Japanese? No. Do I care? No. I just don't like to wait.

I don't know whether or not I'll be getting one of them or both, but I'd prefer to have Soul Silver, since I previously had Silver until I sold it. :'(
I'd probably get both like DP, though...
