Which do you think is better? I rather the Gold version sprites because the Silver version sprites look odd. I'm talking about the majority of the sprites not just a single one sprite being better. And the reason that the Crystal sprites are not in this poll is because they are undeniably better.

http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/020/picdex - Is a link for those who need a better comparison.

http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/167/picdex - To show how much the Crystal version own is better

EDIT: It's strange that Gold's Lugia sprite is better that Silver's Lugia sprite but Silver's Ho-oh's sprite is better than Gold's Ho-oh sprite.

Lugia's sprite: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/249/picdex Lugia looks fat
Ho-oh's sprite: http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/250/picdex Ho-oh looks much more phoenixish which is good

The Houndoom sprite on both looks pretty bad, but worse in Silver, sadly. :(

With that said, looking at Tyrogue and Smoochum (two randomly picked Pokemon), I'm going to have to say Silver. Tyrogue's gold sprite looks out of proportion and bland, whereas Silver's sprite's more... interesting. As for Smoochum, I don't like it anyway to be honest, but on Silver, again, it doesn't look so bland. :X

Silver's because I'm a biased punk who didn't play Gold, so I have no reason for liking it better, otherwise I should have gotten that game instead of Silver, then my answer would have changed.
Ash releases strong pokemon and Paul releases weak pokemon.Ash=stupid,Paul=smart.
Congratulations! Your Super Smash Bros. Melee has evolved into Super Smash Bros. Brawl!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl wants to learn the character Lucario.
However, Super Smash Bros. Brawl already knows four pokemon characters.
Should a character be deleted and replaced with Lucario?
Which character should be forgotten?
1,2, and... ... ... Poof!
Super Smash Bros. Brawl forgot Mewtwo.
And...
Super Smash Bros. Brawl learned Lucario!
