Soul Silver! I have fond memories of playing Pokemon Silver back when I was a kid. Loved it a ton, and I played it a lot, too. I can't remember how many times I've beaten it, haha.
I guess it's nostalgia that made me like it more. That, and I also prefer Lugia's design to Ho-Oh's. :>
I used to have both of them, but recently i rebought SoulSilver. I like SoulSilver better because I have always loved Lugia way more than Ho-Oh, and because as a kid i had several level 100 pokemon and on gold i did not.
HeartGold is my favorite, mainly just because I prefer Ho-oh over Lugia. But the reason I bought it was because I played Silver when I was younger, and I wanted to try the other version.
Soul Silver based soley on the fact that my brother got heart gold even though he quit pokemon shortly after :/ just wished I could pokebank with soul silver
SoulSilver all the way! I am playing it at the moment, I love Johto league and Johto starters my fav of course Cindaquil then Chicorita and at the end Totodile. I like story with Egg and that you have Togepi and Lugia is pretty cool! Plus would love to try out a pokewalker but they cost like 15-20 pound on its own :( i might buy it anyway in near future ^^
SoulSilver, because the fact it has Lugia as the principal mascot. But in terms of gameplay, both games are mostly the same except for different Pokémon to catch in the wild.
SS, just because my first game was Silver rather than Gold, haha. Not much difference between the two that I'd care much (heck, you can get both legends), but I do like Lugia more than Ho-oh.
I gotta go with SoulSilver. It had better version exclusives, Lugia earlier in the game and I got Silver when I was little so I guess nostalgia counts too lol.
I played Silver, so I had to go for Soulsilver, just to buy a DS version of Silver. I prefer the exclusives in SS over HG. Lanturn and Skarmory are only available in SS.
This is a tough decision for me. I've played and loved both versions. I do have preference of Lugia over Ho-oh, but HG also made me love Ho-oh a lot more than I used to, so it's a very close match. Which version has Growlithe, though? HG? Okay, I'll go with that.
I played Gold as a child but voted SS on the poll because that's the one I own. I would have bought HG but I was buying used and every place I looked only had SS.
