I want to get the best one, I just don't want to get both. Don't have too much money. What is the difference between those two games?

Pokemon availability. It's the same as difference between Red and Blue, Gold and Silver, Ruby and Sapphire, Fire Red and Leaf Green, and Diamond and Pearl. Some pokemon are only catchable in Heart Gold, some are only catchable in Soul Silver. No point getting both, just trade for what you can't get.

Ah okay, so its just different colors, but the same game? I wanted to get the Soulsilver version, but now I want to get the heartGold, for some reason I changed my mind. Oh well, when the time comes we will see LOL.

If I'd be getting one of them, I'd be getting HeartGold because that's the GBC version that I got years ago.

There's also only certain pokemon you can get in each game. Not every pokemon is in one game only. Also, depending on your version, one of the legendary bird pokemon will be around level 40 and the other will be 70. For example, if you get SoulSilver, Lugia will be 40 and Ho-oh will be 70 in it and vice versa.

Same here. I already have SoulSilver imported, but I'm still going to get both American versions because I love the series.

You know that you could simply trade or transfer the pokes from the other games you played, don't you?

I had to make sure. It's hard to me to believe that someone will waste money buying something that he already has. With no good reason for it, except, maybe, bragging rights.

I'm getting SoulSilver just so I can see Aeroblast, because I don't think Lugia learned it in Gold...

It learns. When you get it, at lv 70, it has Ancientpower/Safeguard/Aeroblast/Punishment

Edit: I mean, that in HeartGold

Hm. I do not remember that (but I haven't played that game in six years). I still liked Silver more because I liked the color better back in the day.

If that makes any sense to anyone, I commend you.

You've misundestood me. In Pokemon HeartGold, when you get Lugia, he has Aeroblast, but didn't had in Pokemon Gold.

I don't think there is a difference. Except if you want a Latios then you should buy soulsilver. Latias is available in heartgold.
