Hey you guys I just recently figured out about a month ago about the HG/SS games and I am planning preordering one and maybe 2 if I want to pay $80. But what is the main difference between the games besides the Lugia and HO-OH factor. I mean I have heard some people talking about legendaries and stuff and I know most people are getting soul silver for lugia but I am still not sure what the whole difference is and what I should get.

Please Help.

Mostly the difference is what set of Pokemon are available for each game, just like in all of the other Pokemon.

Mainly it is the version exclusives. Here is a list of the different ones per game. -

If you're impartial, you should base the main decision on whether you want Kyogre (HeartGold) or Groudon (SoulSilver) I guess. Since they are the rarest exclusive Pokemon in the two versions.

Yeah. The main difference are the version exclusives. If you want a version exclusive on your team, then you probably would want to get that game. If you have a preference on Kyogre/Groudon, or Latias/Latios (unless you're going to get that Enigma Crystal event), then take that into account. Also, if you have a preference of either Lugia or Ho-Oh, think about that. You can get both Pokemon in both versions, but if you get HeartGold, then you get Ho-Oh first, and if you get SoulSilver, then you get Lugia first.

I personally prefer the HeartGold exclusives, but that's just opinion.

I am actually thinking of maybe getting both. Is that a good idea?

That's what I did. xD I'd reccomend doing that, because if you reserve both you get the figurines toooo.

Why get both just for the figurines when you can just buy them at a best buy like they did for Giratina's.

Ask in the Help thread next time.

Answered, and it's up to you if you'd buy both or not - if you have the money and think (not vaguely but very much sure about it) you'll play both you might as well, I suppose (especially if you've played and enjoyed Pokemon games or in particular GSC before). Otherwise just go for one for now I suppose (unless you really like the figurines XD).

Closed.
