I'm sure I could just look this up, but I'm kind of interested in how the sales compare for different games in each release set, i.e:

Red v. Blue v. Green v. Yellow
Gold v. Silver v. Crystal
Ruby v. Sapphire v. Emerald
FireRed v. LeafGreen
Diamond v. Pearl v. Platinum
HeartGold v. SoulSilver

Anybody interested in finding the numbers and putting them together? Also, anybody care to share why/if they picked one version over the others? I personally went with Yellow, Crystal, FireRed, Pearl, and HeartGold.
 
I think SoulSilver sold the most over HeartGold, because EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHERS GOT SOULSILVER.

Like you can't swing a dead alchemist without hitting a person that has Soul Silver.

HeartGold is like a myth.

I got red, silver, sapphire, fire red, leaf green, and pearl. I never really picked based on anything in particular; though, I've always liked silver more than gold. Heh.
 
I have/had: Yellow, Silver, Gold, Crystal, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond, Platinum & SoulSilver. In that order.
The ones in bold I picked myself, the others were either my Dad's first or (in the case of Platinum) a surprise gift.

I don't like the colours red or gold. That's the only reason why I go for the other game first. Except with Silver, maybe, because my Dad already had Gold first so I didn't even need to think about which to get. I even toyed over buying LeafGreen for a while, but by the time I made up my mind I'd already starting playing DS games and saw stepping backwards to the GBA as pointless. In short, based on the colours, I just go for the one I believe has the most appealing box-art.
 
I've had:

Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Diamond and now Soul Silver.

I really wanted Heart Gold, but my cousin who got Soul Silver for his Birthday and doesn't even like Pokemon any more, gave it to me. So I got it for free.
 
When I have a choice, I pick the cooler color. (cooler refering to color temperature)
Black and White are screwing this up though.

Silver (Technically not a cool color, but it is cooler then gold)
Blue
Ruby (Because the store didn't have sapphire)
Diamond
LeafGreen
Soul Silver
