2nd Gen Ho-oh or Lugia?

[Dragon]

Ho-oh and Lugia were the duo legends from the Generation 2 games.

Lugia represents the sea, storms, the color silver and is the mascot of Pokémon Silver and Pokémon SoulSilver, while Ho-Oh represents the sky, rainbows, the color gold, and is the mascot of Pokémon Gold and Pokémon HeartGold. Both are also trio masters: Lugia is the master of the Legendary birds, while Ho-Oh is the master of the Legendary beasts.

But which do you prefer? Lugia or Ho-oh?

this is interesting to me because i used to be huge on Lugia a long time ago but i think slowly but surely i've liked Ho-Oh's design a lot more, because i like rainbows and phoenixes are really cool. so Ho-Oh it is for me. :>

Lugia's cooler to me, i like its everything from design to shiny form :D

but not gonna lie ho-oh has a lit shiny form :0

I always loved Ho-Oh. Lugia was cool in 2nd movie, but I never got over the fact that it's Psychic/Flying that lives under and commands the sea. And don't let me start on how boring and tedious getting to it in Silver and Soul Silver is.

I've always preferred Ho-oh for various reasons. I'm a big fan of Fire-types, and I prefer both Ho-oh's design and its theme song in HGSS to Lugia's.

I've always went with Ho-Oh over Lugia for what reason I'll never know.

I love Lugia, so I would have go with that. I played gold and silver both when they first came out because I got the combo pack, but I actually put more time and love into my gold game... probably simply because I thought gold looked cuter (or maybe cooler?) than silver. It's the 2000 movie that puts Lugia on top for me. I saw it in theaters on my birthday and so Lugia became a very special legendary to me. AND THAT MUSIC.

edit:
And how could I forget about his big, beefy yaoi hands.

For me it's Lugia. Especially because of the second movie and the Pokémon Silver game which I really like!

Lugia hands down .....ho oh fire/flying moltres with sacred fire

 

[Bellsprout]

They're pretty even for me. Though I will say when I was younger I leaned towards Lugia because of the movie, but nowadays that has faded.

As a kid I absolutely preferred Lugia over Ho-oh because of how much more sleeker it looked. Although, my preference now lies with Ho-Oh because back in VGC 2016, it became one of my favorites to use, and who doesn't like a 50% burn chance with sacred fire?!

I always preferred Ho-oh seems more of a legend to its back story

 

[Venonat in Space]

I got VC Silver just so I could get a Lugia. I had so many Ho-Ohs from Omega Ruby transferred to Ultra Moon plus an exclusive level 100 Ho-Oh from Gamestop I think. So...

But despite my 4 Ho-Ohs and 1 Lugia, i'm going with Ho-Oh because it has a back story, but so did Lugia in the second movie if I remember correctly.

Ho-Oh is prettier! Yeah that's all I got. But both are epic birds.

Can I say Suicune? :B

Seriously, though, put me down under "undecided". I like Lugia's design a lot better, but I prefer Ho-Oh's lore of being a phoenix with resurrective powers and making the legendary beasts into what they are...

 

[ryu_gold]

Ho-oh. I like gold!

 

[Zeostar]

Lugia even though I can't think of a specific reason. I'm very fond of it.

 

[Ninetales]

Ho-oh! Who doesn't love this majestic rainbow phoenix?? I love Lugia as well but I've always preferred Ho-oh's design concept. I also adore its countless Pokémon movie appearances!

 

[RichKidDre]

Design wise Lugia, in game Ho-oh, the bonus of getting Sacred Ash in it's origin games is really nice to have for the E4 lol

 

[vesh88]

I was always more a Ho-Oh fan but they're both heaps cool

 

[ROMhacker254]

I always liked Lugia better, but I had Gold version growing up. I just loved the aeroblast sound and graphics that was cool. And the 2000 Movie definitely helped the popularity of Lugia.
