I'd pick Hitmonchan. It has better stats all together.
Plus if you can breed it with the ability Iron Fist then all its punching
moves will go up in power.

Although Hitmonchan and Primeape have the same stat totals
I think Hitmonchans is divided better.

There were no abilitys back then...

I say Primeape. Its faster, and its moves dont really difer from hitmonchans that much.

Primeape, since you're playing red version it's better. If you were playing any newer game i'd say hitmonchan.

Umm. Why can't you have both?
That's a pretty good point there. But if you can only pick one, then Primape, because of it's high base Speed stat.

Primeape is not very good. :x I'd choose Hitmonchan because he can learn a wide variety of moves with different types. All of those ______ Punches come in handy. You can use Ice Punch against a flying Pokemon and you'll be fine. Primeape can't really do that. XD

I don't know, I'd choose Hitmonchan.

My personal choice is Hitmonlee, based on the fact that his high att and speed, also he has a high special defense allowing him to survive most psyhic blasts though then again my Hitmonlee I raised from lvl 5 caught where you catch pidgeys and rattatas; the fact that I like Hitmonlee may factor in as well.

Primape is better coz he's faster. He can also tackle flying types.

105 Atk=105 Atk
79 Def>60 Def
76 Spe<95 Spe
35 SpA<60 SpA
110 SpD>70 SpD

Also, you have to look deeper than that, you have to look at movesets.

54 Screech Normal
63 Thrash Normal

My verdict, Primeape, he has better moves, and he has better stats. Just go with the one that makes more sense for what you are trying to accomplish.
Our Pokemon are the same, but somehow yours are better just because you want to spend hours doing what I can do in minutes. Copy this into your sig if you think that anti PokeSav/PokeGen arguments are rediculus.

Primeape is fast and can learn Rock Slide to deal with Flying types and is fast. Hitmonchan has a varied moveset that can cover a variety of types even if its Special is less than desireable. Whatever you choose depends on what you would prefer to have on your team.
