Who would you say is your favorite of the Eon duo? Latios or Latias? Which one do you find yourself using more in a battle?

I like Latios more as he's the one that reminds me more of myself. I Also like his design. I found myself using Latias more though when it came to taking down the elite 4 just for the fun of it.

I love the general design of both, I initially liked Latios the better of the two because I like blue-colored Pokemon (Ruby was also the version I played of the original Hoenn game duo) but recently I grew to love Latias just as much because I think she looks pretty adorable for a strong Legendary.

They really look like each other, but I think I like Latias just a little more, I don't know why. I haven't really used either of them in battle much, so I can't say much about that.

I still have my Eon Ticket that I got imported from the US for my birthday back in 2003-2004.

Spoiler:


I played Ruby as a child and I was deeply upset when it was known that you can encounter Latios. As much as I like Latios, I do like the design of Latias more. I specifically like its Gen V sprite too.

This played a large role in me getting White 2 when it was revealed the Eon Duo were obtainable.

Both of them have a great design but i like Latios more. Besides it's red colour which my favorite colour, it also looks really adorable and cute. :3 I don't know why but i really like Latios more than Latias.

Is finding Latias to be cuter an acceptable reason? Because I sure like Latias.
Admittedly, I had no idea that choosing the color of the pokemon on TV in Emerald decides the Eon Duo, but I'm glad I chose red, because Latias is cuter. I have yet to find a niche for Latias, because currently I'm using an all-eeveelution team.

I love Latios, he is powerful and he has a great design. He is one of my top favorite legendary Pokémon along Kyogre.

Latias is one of my favorite Pokemon. I had no idea she existed when I played Sapphire for the first time and encountered her while surfing around Pacifidlog Town. I tracked her down and caught her within 45 minutes. I was pretty stoked to see her in the next movie because she's so adorable; her anime appearances solidified her as my favorite Pokemon. Also, I bought Heart Gold and White2 and AlphaSapphire when I learned she was obtainable in these versions. :)

I'd say Latios is probably my favourite, though generally I like both of them. I never actually caught either, though I could have easily done so had I actually known they were legendaries. Basically, some time after having beaten the Elite 4 and realising that this allowed for me to catch Rayquaza, I was making my way towards the Sky Pillar to catch it. Along the way I encountered Latios however, but decided just to run for it, as I thought it was just a wild Pokemon, since legendaries are typically stationary, and I was kinda focused on another one at the time. It wasn't until a friend asked when I'd found Latios and pointed out to me that it was legendary that I realised. The worst thing about it all was that I still had the Master Ball and could have easily caught it without having to chase it all around the region, but at the time I had no idea that I could even encounter it again anyways, so I thought I'd just completely missed my chance :p

But yeah, I'd say Latios is my favourite by a slight bit, partly because it's the only one of the two I've actually ever seen in-game, and partly also due to its role in the movie. Latias was cute and all, but I prefer how heroic Latios was to that :D

I like them both, but I like Latias just a little bit more. Maybe it's because of her color - I mean, I like the colors of both of them, but her red has always made her a little more appealing visually to me than Latios' blue has. Maybe it's because she's just plain cute compared to the seriousness of Latios (I mean, nothing wrong with that, I just like cute things). It was just originally for those reasons - count me in as someone whose liking for her only grew after seeing her in the movie.

Battle-wise, I have not yet ever used either in a battle, so I can't say which I prefer there. :(

I actually can't decide between the two. One day I like Latias more and then the next Latios is my favorite. Truth is both are so similar and amazing that it's impossible to pick. I probably use Latias a bit more because I like it's use competitively slightly more but overall both are among my favorite legendaries ever :3
