    I like Pokémon Gold better because you get to catch Ho-oh which is one of my favorite Pokémon ^_^ Also I got my Pokémon Gold version for my 12th birthday and I have kept it ever since.

    My reason for having a favorite amongst these two is not out of pokemon preference, like which pokemon are game exclusive, or which has the better looking sprite graphics. To be honest, I think I just like Silver more because I like the color more. Which is how most people pick which version they play.

    Woah, I realized how that quote is so incredibly true. You've seriously made me go buy Silver and play it.

    No, it's just that he used the wrong word. He was being bias. He had an unreasonable personal opinion. He was not prejudice which is having an opinion with limited or no sufficient knowledge and companied by hostility towards Pokemon Sliver. Although both word are synonyms, both word hold a different context than the other. In this case, the word prejudice was used out of context.

    They're both the same game. I don't even know why there is a topic about which one is better.

    Gold, think about it, in crystal you have to catch all 3 dogs, then you can get ho-oh, but in gold, you can get ho-oh without having to catch any of the dogs
