    I like Crystal for making it a lot easier to catch Suicune and including Mantine, Ursaring, and Donphan (3 of my fav. GII pokemon) in one game. Silver loses for omitting the former 2 pokemon.

    I have trouble playing through Crystal because I have an obscure phobia for the unexpected and shocking. I stay away from patches of grass in case the three dogs pop up since I'm forced to let them free in that version.
    It's funny though, I finally went into a patch of grass to train a Scyther and the first pokemon that pops up is Raikou! Gah!

    I find Gold to be the best in all.

    IMO, Crystal is the best. Even though I got sad that you couldn't catch Mareep, Flaaffy or Ampharos in the game ;_;

    But still, you can catch Sneasel in Ice Path, which is waaaaay earlier than in GS :)

    Crystal > Gold and Silver

    and u can get Suicune without making urself tired finding it in the Grass.

    In Tin Tower, I tried capturing Suicune with an Ultra Ball. It was annoying because I couldn't catch him T_T

    Later in the game, I captured Raikou and battled the Elite Four with it. I beat the crud out of Lance and Raikou got in the Hall of Fame...

    ...Yet still, I got halfway through Silver in one day.
