    The sprites are actually different.

    I like Silver better just because it was my first game, and Lugia was cool and stuff at the time.

    I thought Silver and Gold had the same Graphics, don't they?



    sorry I was talking about the sprites of G/S I forgot I neglected to say that

    for example

    Silver VS Gold...which is Better?
    [Gold Houou]
    Silver VS Gold...which is Better?
    [Silver Houou]

    you see the difference

    Yeah I see the difference, never knew there were different sprites but yeah the sprites on silver looks alot better than gold

    You never noticed that the sprites are different in each of the early games? I always knew. But, anyway Silver's sprites will always be the better, because in Gold Version the Sprites do funny poses.

    I Personally prefered Crystal, Plainly because Suicune was availabe i dont like searching around the grass (too time consuming). Enough of the spam, my favourite was Silver, why?, because i never was able to aqquire gold even though my friend has it, Silver's Graphics were way better anyway.

    Exactly right. Now that I think about it, Silver is better than Gold in EVERY way:
    The sprites are better
    You get Lugia with aeroblast
    Silver(the mineral) is cooler
    Lugia(stat wise)is a little better than Ho-oh
    (I can't think of anything else because they are exactly the same in every other way.)

    What is it with the sprites, now???? Ever since someone mentioned them, EVERYONE started mentioing them. But, at least they are all agreeing that Silver's sprites are better.

    Well, this is a discussion on which game is better.

    True...And I'm glad only one person mentioned Crystal, because in the Details, I specifically said, "Don't mention Crystal Version." I thought a lot of people would say Crystal version was the best. Crystal may have the first moving pokemon sprites, and the first gender selection, but Silver is the most origional-feeling out of all of them.

    Nope, I played both game and I never payed attention to the sprites but why you ask?

    Well I think the sprites are better in Silver but I think the pokemon that come out in gold are better.

    The only problem here is that NEITHER of them are better. They both have points, good and bad, that balance eachother out. It's all a matter of preference.

    I myself have taken a liking to Gold, mainly because it's the one I got, and it's the official color of the hero.

    Also how are the sprites in Silver better then the ones in Gold?
