I'm curious, plus 5 points.

Personally, I'll get Soul Silver because I had Gold and Crystal as a child but never got Silver, so I'll get what I missed.

There wouldn't be a Crystal remake version, seeing how both games will have parts of Crystal in them.

I'm getting Soul Silver, because it's closer in color to Crystal.

I like Lugia more than Ho-oh and Groudon more than Kyogre.  I'm probably getting Soul Silver.

Why is Ho-oh the rainbow Pokemon, and yet it's a fire type?

Soul Silver is clearly what all the cool kids are getting.

Played Silver Version more and got farther in it, so I'll be going with SS.

Heh. Diamond, Pearl, Heart, Soul, Gold, Silver. They're all pretty girly names. Diamond and SoulSilver are pretty much the slightly less feminine one. Quite a few people might pick SoulSilver for just that reason, idk. Diamond also had being the first game of the pair to its advantage, so we'll see.

Partially for this reason, I'll get HeartGold myself.

If I do import a Japanese game, which I think I probably will, I'll go with SoulSilver for that. Because I'm a silly weeaboo who actually thinks playing Japanese games will make it easier for me to learn Japanese language.

Well though many here get SS, mostly in the real world get HG.

SoulSilver.
I picked Silver version over gold as a kid. I will not argue with my judgment from when I was a child.

I like getting ones most don't, so I would get HeartGold, but I also love Lugia, so... I don't know which one I'll get, if I even get one.

A pretty large amount of the people who will buy the games are younger kids.

At least in my experience, little boys tend to care more about something like a game's name being girly and containing "Heart", so I would expect it to apply more to them than the older fans. After all, most of the older fans already gave up the ability to abandon the games for being too childish <3

Yes, leave it to bluaki to rant about gender associations on something like Pokemon game titles and sales predictions >.>

Well I'm not buying it on release day so I'll have time to figure out which will be more popular. I still think HG will be though.

SoulSilver, it's what I had as a child.  If I get a job, I'll get a DSi and HeartGold.

Man, I got soul, and I need a game to reflect that goddangit. I don't lay down funky basslines because of my technicality, I want my game to say "This crazy motherintercourse er, has soul and dangit HE'S GONNA SHOW YOU SOME".


Also I had Silver as a kid and loved it.
