Ho-oh
Lugia

stats and all that stuff aside i feel like i'm the only person on this planet that likes ho-oh better than lugia. why? because all my friends like 20 people bought soul silver simply because they think lugia rocks and ho-oh sucks. i was the only person to buy heart gold cuz i think ho-oh is the (insert S word here)!!

i dunno you guys tell me..

EDIT:

anyone that reads this thread and says lugia is a water type -

I honestly think Lugia is better, but that's just me with my affinity for sea Pokemon. @[email protected]
Also, Ho-Oh has that ridiculous... hair... wig... thing... on his head. And he uses rainbows. Who's going to be terrified of a giant bird with a wig that uses 'ROYAL RAINBOW!!!"?

I actually do like Ho-oh more...a lot more. xD Lugia has a cool edge to it, but Ho-oh's shine combined with his role as "Guardian of the Skies" just totally wins me over. He's my favorite of the mascot legendaries, while Latias is my favorite legendary period. ^^ So yea, you aren't alone on this~

I'm prefer Ho-Oh from any other way. Being Guardian of the Sky with grand looks and resurrect the Three Beast is awesome. Lugia is just to plain and lame for me. Doesn't mind any stat difference simply because my rule not to use any legendary pokemon in my main team

I've never been a fan of Lugia's appearance. He doesn't look much alike a bird...doesn't look much like anything except a Lugia. >_>

Ho-oh, on the other hand is just so much nicer looking and intimidating to me at least. XD

I like Ho-oh more because its a fire type :3 but that's partially it :/. Lugia has the more intimidating appearenca and the scarier in game cry. However, Ho-oh has more beauty and radiance than Lugia plus Ho-oh actually looks like a bird.

Lugia is a bird right o.o?

I am not gonna cast my vote in the poll b/c voting for either would be unfair in my book. I love Lugia, always have thought it was better than Ho-oh, but now I'm starting to appreciate Ho-oh more and really it's just as awesome if not better. Design wise ho-oh is 'prettier' than Lugia simply do to its large array of colors. However, Lugia seems to be the more sleek/cool one.

Ho-oh is my second/third favorite pokemon. (Tied with Groudon, I'm not sure which one is currently #2 right now.) So obviously I prefer Lugia Ho-oh. I like Ho-oh's design better then Lugia's. I don't know why, but it just seems more dignified, and god-like, which is probably what they were going for.

Lugia is awesome, but Ho-oh is even more so.
It wasn't until I got SoulSilver that I realized I like Ho-Oh so much better. I think I got SoulSilver first because everyone else was mentioning that they were going to get it and that they loved Lugia. So somehow I turned that into, "Yeah Silver was awesome so I'm going to get SoulSilver too!" After I realized I made that mistake I went and bought HeartGold. :p

So, yeah I like Ho-Oh a lot better. I can't think of why though. I guess it just seems more unique looking.

I never really liked how Ho-oh looked. Lugia sounded cooler to me too, and personally, I think Lugia's moves are better too.

Lugia is better because Ho-Oh is Fire and Lugia is Water. I like Lugia better because it looks cool, strong, and is a great competitor.

Lugia, though it used to be Ho-oh, when I was young I had a Ho-oh named "Da Boss" on Gold who served me well throughout the entire last half of the game. However, come Generation 3 I've used Lugia more so he's slowly grown on me. Now he's a staple part of my PBR Campaign team.
Thank goodness Valve made Team Fortress 2, how else could I make such a Banner?

Lugia, he's always been my favorite! I don't know why I think its just his design and the fact that he is known as the 'Guardian of the sea" sounds awesome to me, but I like Ho-oh as well. But Lugia is my favorite! ^^ I ended up getting SS, not just because of Lugia but because my friend got HG, but I'm thinking about getting HG as well now! xD

Since when Lugia is part of water type? I know it can use water type moves and dwell in water but don't you forget that Ho-Oh is also capable using electric type attack and some dark type moves.
