    The old thread was dead, so time for a remake.

    This one's easy, do you like the sea-dwelling Psychic/Flying Lugia or the sky guardian Fire/Flying Ho-Oh?

    Vote in the poll and give us reasons!
     
    Right now I'm liking Lugia much more than Ho-oh. Although I've supported Ho-oh countlessly, Lugia's design has really grown on me, to the point now that I prefer it over Ho-oh. In HGSS, Lugia looked amazing flying behind you! It's got a great design with a intricate stroyline behind it. However, the only think that made me dislike about it was the fact that it' typing is Psychic & Water, not Water & Flying.

    Lugia.
    Lugia was the reason why my first game was Silver and from that moment, I've always prefered Lugia to Ho-Oh.
    And Lugia looks much better as HG/SS OW =D
     
    Even though I bought SoulSilver, honestly I prefer Ho-Oh a little bit more. Sky appeals to me more than sea, and Ho-Oh has some sort of traditional, ancient look to it that makes me really love it.
     
    Both are pretty boss, but I love Fire-type Pokémon, so it's Ho-Oh for me!
     
    Ho-Oh will ALWAYS be the best to me. I had both Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Heart Gold, and I liked Ho-Oh very much. I never liked Lugia at all, because of a HORRIBLE design, a HORRIBLE Type Combination, and it is a Defender not an Attacker. In Generation IV, Lugia became even more of a nuisance, because it's Battle Sprite Front is just Terrible. Plus Fire-Types are one of my Favourite Pokemon Types.
     
    I played SoulSilver, so I go with Lugia.

    Not to mention it's a Psychic and it has association with Water, which are two of my favorite types.

    It's definitely my fave Johto Legendary.
     
    I have SS but don't have HG so Lugia! And mainly because I captured him first before Ho-Oh and I love water types even though Lugia isn't the fact that it was seen in anime swimming and stuff I consider it a water types. I just love the design to!
     
    I prefer Lugia, mainly because Ho-oh looks like a mess of colours to me, but I love Lugias design as well, especially its shiny. But, I think Ho-oh is starting to grow on me. I am starting to like it's detailed design more and i'm starting to think that Lugia's design is a bit boring. Typewise, I prefer Ho-oh's typing and moves, but Lugia still gets my vote. :)
     
    Lugia. I'm not sure why, I think it's because of The Power of One. It's odd though, 'cause I do love Fire-types.
     
    Lugia FTW ! SS mascot, graceful, strong ... It's always been my fav since Silver version, I mean, I always prefered it over Ho-Oh, which is still a Pokémon I love anyway.
     
    They're both kinda overrated but I'd have to choose Lugia over Ho-Oh. One, Lugia has a bigger move pool and 2 Lugia's design looks a lot cooler.

    Is it just me or did you guy's have a problem solving Ho-Oh's puzzle in the Ruin of Alph in Silver the first time you tried. It took me so long to figure it out cuz I never did it before but now can do it with no problems.
     
    Lugia! Tbh I always thought Lugia was either Flying/Dragon or Water/Dragon when I first saw it and even after I found out it wasn't it was still difficult to believe, but I love it nonetheless. It's very cute for a legendary Pokémon and it's a complete badass in battle whereas Ho-Oh seems mainly just for show imo. Moltres will always be the Fire bird legendary in my opinion since raining down firey meteors from the sky seems much cooler than a flying rainbow bird! But yeah, I love Lugia so I'm going with her n.n
     
    This is really difficult for me, I just love them both xD. But if I had to pick one I'd actually said the colourful Ho-oh. The design is colourful and elegant, Ho-oh resembles this huge bird. And since birds are some of my favourite creatures, why not love Ho-oh xD? Honestly, it's a great legendary in my opinion. And since I played HG first, I kinda grew on Ho-oh before encountering Lugia.

    Lugia is pretty awesome too, but I prefer Ho-oh.
     
    Ho-oh

    -It was one of the first Pokemon Ash saw and holds a lot of symbolism within that scene

    -In HG/SS it makes a lot more sense with the Kimono girls

    -It was born from the ashes of the burnt tower and also created the 3 legendary felines, Entei/Raikou/Suicune

    I still love Lugia and I have a lot of memories from it, but Ho-Oh just beats it in concept, design, and I feel overall usefulness in my opinion.
