Need help picking a game to get

[Its Smiley]

Alright, now I've got a DS and beat all my games, so naturally I need a new one, but I'm having the worst time choosing between Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks or Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver.

Now, I've played Pokemon Crystal before, but an old friend stole it from me so now I've got a hole in my heart only SS/HG can fix. Then again, I love Zelda sooo much and without a 3DS or a Wii, Spirit Tracks is the only one I can play but haven't.

Which do I choose???

skyrim.

but srsly HG/SS are good options. i personally waited for them to try and be douches and release crystal so i never got em. they are still nice games though.

HGSS. mrgreen

HGSS is probably the best pokemon game, mechanics-wise. But Spirit tracks is great too-- And cheap!

it's not like, a ground breaking Zelda, but it is a game of the quality one can expect from Nintendo in this day and age, and it is less than 18 dollars at Wal-mart. You maybe could get both.

Then buy yourself some cake, and eat that as well.

I vote Spirit Tracks. I've played it so I can assure you it will not let you down in the excitement department. Not that HG/SS isn't exciting.

I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents and say that, as a Zelda fan, I didn't really like Spirit Tracks all that much.
It's a forgettable game.
Of course on the other hand, if you've already played Pokemon, it's not going to be that great the second time around.
If you're a big Pokemon fan and plan on getting Black/White Version and the inevitable 3DS Version, then I'd go with Pokemon. Otherwise I'd go with Zelda.

Spirit tracks is what it is, which is a handheld Zelda. IT makes great use of the DS's features, and it's a lot more aesthetically pleasing, IMO, than Phantom hourglass. It's definitely worth 18 bucks.

******** pokemon get Zelda.

Well, HG/SS aren't too similar to Crystal, so it's not like you'll be playing the same old game. You'll have fun with it and the mechanics are probably one of the best. There are extra things to do so it's all around a very good remake.

On the other hand, Spirit Tracks is a good game. I can tell it's one of the lesser liked games, and I'm going to tell you right now, the train probably will piss you off sometime in the game, along with the flute. Both can be okay with some patience though. The puzzles are pretty good and more complex compared to Phantom Hourglass so you'll probably enjoy it.

Do you mind getting games used? You could probably find both for a good cheap price that way.

Oh god, I always forget about the flute. I wondered if they even playtested that. Thank god those little duets are so rare.

Aside from the flute, the other items are pretty neat. The whip was basically the grappling hook, but I felt like more of a bad a** with it.

Get HG/SS and buy new so you get a Pokewalker.
