Because Milotic and Gyarados are so similar I was wondering which one you people like better.
Similarities:
Both are the serpentine evolved forms of weak fish Pokémon
Both appear in times of conflict, Milotic to becalm, Gyarados to destroy.
Both have base stat totals of 540, the only difference being the distribution of their stats: Milotic is more defensively based while Gyarados is more offensively based.
Both have the greatest increase of its base stat total of any Pokémon compared to its prevolution, an increase of 340 points.
Gyarados or Milotic

I personally like Milotic better as it looks better but I still like Gyarados.

I will have to go with Gyarados on this one. Even though, it's sprite is terrible imo; D:
Milotic may be queen of beauty but it isn'tthe queen of my vote. For some reason, can't explain what it is, I just have a liking towards gyarados more than milotic. I think it's because of the lack of colour some of milotics body has. While Gyarados is full of one colour even though it's just blue, yellow and white.

Milotic is so much better for design, IMO <3 However, Gyarados is and absoloute beast in battle, so I went for Gyarados <3

Gyarados. Since I have never even owned a Milotic, let alone a Feebas.

Oh, and Gyarados was my first favorite Pokemon. I remember drawing Gyarados when I was a kid after I watched the Pokemon anime. And 'cause he's awesome.

In terms of look's i'll go with Milotic and in terms of Power, Gyarados.

I've never really paid much attention to Milotic though, but Gyarados is really awsome on my team.
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

Gyarados all the way. I prefer offense to defense, and there's a nostalgic feel to training a useless Magikarp that finding a Feebas and feeding it PokeBlocks just can't claim. Also, Gyarados is more dragon-like, and I'm a big fan of dragons.

Milotic is amazing and lovely, but I've only ever had one 'cause they're a pain to get. :/
Gyarados is ridiculously common, but cool-looking and super-powerful.

I'd have to say Gyarados. I almost always have one on my team.

Gyarados all the way. Offense in more important than defense since it's the stat that wins the battle, and Gyarados is offensive. Also, his design is epicly awesome!

I've never owned a Gyarados. I've wanted to, recently, because it's quite a buggering sweeper in competitive battling if you have nothing in the way of its weakness. It also has that intrinsic Gen I look. Also, useful ability.

Milotic is pretty. I've never bothered to get one legitimately. I like it's stat allocation more that Gyarados' - lacking offenses can be aided easily. Marvel Scale is hardly valuable though.

It's a tie.

Gyarados for me. I know Milotic is supposed to be beautiful, but for whatever reason I can't see it that way. I actually find it to be one of the worse looking Pokemon. Gyarados however, I find cool-looking, and I like using it in battle. Milotic is good too I'm sure, I just wouldn't use one because it's appearance is a bit too much of a turn-off for me.

I've never owned a Milotic, due to me not having any patience whatsoever.

Gyarados has never been a favorite of mine either. Weird, I know.

Milotic gets my vote, just because of it's awesomeness.

I like Milotic's more. I think their special defense and their move pool is just better all around then Gyarados. I due however like Gyarados's water-flying duel type and it's high attack. I think they are too common though and I like Milotic's ability. So my vote is Milotic.

I went for Milotic. Its rarity makes it more special when you get on for the first time.

Milotic. Despite it being so common, I've never actually used a Gyarados on my team because there are just so many Water Pokemon to use, and I tend to use a different water Pokemon. However, I've used Milotic on my team in Pearl, and I just simply love him~ He's shiny and everything. <3

I Like both, like I use them often, But I give the nod to Gyara because he's an original, and is evolved from Magikarp. nuff said there. Plus having a nice attack stat along with booting potential is always a plus.
