    I will probably end up getting Soul Silver first because back when Gold and Silver first came out, I got Silver first.

    Most of my friends say they are getting gold, so I'll get silver so it maximises my trading possibilities with my mates.

    I'll be getting both, considering I played both Gold and Silver back in the day. Might as well relive them both!

    When I bought FireRed, it was because I got Red first. I played that then got LeafGreen after a week or two. Mirroring my experience with the original Red and Blue versions. I received Gold and Silver literally at the exact same time- my aunt handed them to me when I was 7 years old. I fully intend to reserve and buy a copy of both on the same day, along with a DSi. For some reason, I have to play the remakes chronologically as I did with the originals. I think I'm starting a new tradition.

    I'll be buying both, handing my girlfriend Silver and keeping Gold for myself. 

    We'll swap all 3 starters 6 times, between both of us... then start the game fer reals :p

    Don't really know, flip a coin I guess.


    Only just found out about these remakes, and holy crap am I stoked. Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal are brilliant games, probably in my top 5 if I ever made a list.

    I picked Silver back in the day and will be doing the same now since I still think Lugia is way more bad-ass than Ho-Ho.

    If Crystal was a possibility as well I'd probably go with that, though.

    Probably Soul Silver. Gold and Silver were the only Pokemon games that I didn't play. :/

    Way back when I was a kid I had Gold and my brother got Silver.  So I will probably end up buying Gold and one of my friends will probably end up with Silver.  I can't wait for the games to come out

    I believe in both. A currency that is backed by both Gold and Silver and possibly even lesser metals for the lowest denominated currency.

    Since I have no friends with a DS, I will be getting both. Besides, its not that expensive, at least for a 22 years old loser xD. Just kidding, I still cant understand why I still like Pokemon, maybe because it satisfies my most basic RPG needs. Who knows. Though if I had to choose. Silver. I prefer Lugia over Ho-oh every day. Besides, who can beat a well trained Lugia??? Max defense stas!!!

    If my friend decides not to get the game, it'll be both for me. Gotta have access to them all!

    I hope they improve the GTS for this version...

    I used to have both games and Crystal, but since I now just have Gold and lost its competitor, I'd probably go with Soul Silver. I just can't buy both anymore. Especially since trading can be easier to do if I wanted to "catch them all".

    They did.
     
    Besides, Gold and Silver includes Kanto and was easily the better game.  Arguably the best in the series and the most nostalgic for most people though, it came out right at the peak of Pokemon popularity.  The remakes definitely need to stop after this though..  We don't need to see another Ruby/Sapphire, ever.
     
    Anyway, I've always bought the secondary version, since way back with Blue.  So of course I'll be getting Silver, Lugia is awesome  :)

    I hope they re-do Kanto a bit, so it's not just rapid fire gym to gym.

    Crystal didn't add in very much.  The Pokemon being animated was it's biggest selling point, and of course they're already animated here.  It also added the battle tower but we have the battle frontier from Platinum..  And the few story points it added, with Eusine and Suicune have been incorporated here.  
     
     
     

     
      
     
     
     
     

     
    So for all intents and purposes, this is Crystal.  But they couldn't sell two versions that way, could they?

    I'll probably be getting both. If this is done right, it will easily be my favorite Pokemon game ever, so it will be worth it. Besides, I also own every RPG Pokemon game.
