Butterfree or Beautifly?

Which one do you prefer, both in game and just to have and why?

I prefer Butterfree because of all that happened to Butterfree in the beginning of the show.
 
Hmm.... I didn't realize how similar they were until now......
In battle, I would never use them, but I like Beautifly better because it is, well, beautiful compared to Butterfree and has a higher Sp Attack.
It also learns recovery moves like Morning Sun, something Butterfree doesn't have.

Butterfree because when playing LG I caught a shiny Caterpee and decided to evolve and stick with it through the game. It's now one of my fave pokemon and I just prefer it over Beautifly. Plus, I've never used a Beautifly in Ruby.

It's hard to choose, but I like Beautifly, because it can learn more moves from Wurmple.

However, I did like Butterfree in the anime.

Butterfree is definatly more original, and powder moves are better than healing moves since neither of them last long anyways.>.>

Um... Butterfree DOES get Morning Sun, in XD. Sure, you only get one, but, you can always play the game over if you want another.

Anyways, I like Butterfree more. Don't like Beautifly too much.

Tough one. I'd probably say Butterfree.
