I am getting HeartGold because my brother is getting SoulSilver and the name HeartGold suits the female girl to play as in the game.

I played Crystal first, too. I'll be getting HeartGold, because Ho-oh's awesome and there are some good version exclusives.

I think I'll get SoulSilver because the first Pokemon game I ever owned was Pokemon Silver. Knowing me, I'll probably end up with both eventually.

No question about it, I'm definitely getting a copy of SoulSilver since the Silver gen was what got me into Pokemon in the first place. Also picking it up for Lugia. =D

I want to buy Silver because Lugia is my favorite Legendary, but I don't own a Ho-oh and would like to own a game where I have the ability to catch one. I have Gale of Darkness so I have the ability to get more Lugias, but I suck at Colosseum (because I'm used to Gale of Darkness gameplay ;-; ) so I'm nowhere near catching my Ho-oh in that one. So, I'm probably going to go with Gold.

I'm really surprised with the poll results so far, I expected HeartGold to be soaring high above SoulSilver, not the other way around.

Anyway, I'll be importing SoulSilver from Japan since I can't wait to relive Johto for the first time in years again, and then I'll purchase the American HeartGold which will be my main version. So I'll be buying both. :D

When gold and silver first came out, I wanted to buy silver just because i liked the color better. But, my older sister ended up buying it and refused to let me have the same kind so I had to get gold. Now, since her interest in Pokemon is gone, I plan to get SoulSilver

You can (maybe? most likely) get both legendary birdies in HG/SS. It was possible in G/S that no matter which version you chose, you could get both Ho-Oh and Lugia in the games. The one that was opposite of the game color would be found in it's location at a higher level than the birdie that matched the game color.

So, if you chose SoulSilver, you can catch Lugia in the Whirl Islands at level 40, and Ho-Oh in the Tin Tower at level 70. This is how it was done in the original Silver, and right now, there looks to be no reason for this to change.

Mareep-Flaffy-Ampharos was in both Silver and Gold in the originals.

Soul Silver (unless Heart Gold is confirmed to have more water based exclusives) because I do not like the name "Heart" Gold at all. (wouldn't "Shiny Gold" have been more fitting?)

Since I played Gold first, I'll get SS instead of HG, though I'll probably end up with both anyway...

SoulSilver, and I'm hoping the exclusive Pokémon in it will be the ones I want, or else I'll definitely need to find someone to trade with.

Even though I only got Silver while my sister had Gold, I'm thinking about getting both. Its much easier to trade pokemon with yourself than to wait for some people and extra things they may want in the trade, besides I'm on a quest to collect em' all.

HeartGold. My first game of the second generation was Gold so it only seems natural.

Heart Gold, because I have a heart of gold.

And because I firstly got gold. (Gold is like the supreme version of silver, right?)
Yeah, that's got to be it.
