    I went to go buy my little bro a copy of pokemon fire red. When i went into GAME. I asked for Fire red and they said it was sold out but leaf green was in stock. I went to other shops and they were sold out of fire red to. Is it something about fire red im missing?

    So which one is ur favourite and lets see if Fire red is more popular here on the forum to.

  • i dont know why but firered, and the old red always seemed to be like the main version...but i still prefer leaf green. in my opinion it has better pokemon, and its just cool cuz venusaur is on it, and cuz there was never a green in the us, but there was a red....so i got green. so just get him green and hed be happy. :D

  • I voted on LeafGreen, because the exclusive Pok?mon there are better than the ones in FireRed, IMO.

    The only annoying thing is that Nidoran (m) is so tough to find, though...

  • People have always liked one color over another with the pokemon games. Most people liked fire over water, and therefore chose the origional red over blue. A lot of people buy FireRed for old times sake, so that explais some of it. Also, if you add all the pokemon in FR with the 200 pokemon obtainable in Hoenn, and then compare it with the combo of the pokemon in LG plus the Hoenn pokemon, FR comes out ahed. Basicly, you can catch more "LG" pokemon in Ruby and Sapphire, so people therefore tend to go for FireRed. Charizard has also been a favorite pokemon for a lot of people. Since charizard is on the box, most would rather go for it then Venasaur. Most people would also rather have a red game then a green one.

    I, however, much prefer Green over Red (take a glance at my Screen Name). The chance to actualy get a Green GBA game just couldn't be passed up. Most people would be getting FR anyway, so if I get LG, I would have access to the pokemon that the majority wouldn't have access to (the ones unique to LG), and I could more likely find someone to trade with, to complete both of our pokedexes.

    Anyway, those are my thoughts.

    leaf green is cooler because of the rareness of it. There was nevera green in U.S only a red and blue. it would be dif. if there were fire red and ice blue. Also the pokemon you can catch are better than those in FR. ( eat bannanas).

  • I voted FR because red is a classic, and I was going for more like the old times when Pokemon was #1 in America. Those were great times...

    Also, because you get stronger kinds of Pokemon. I don't only go for the colour (Though Red is my fave colour. ) I was debating whether to get LG because it has Vulpix, but then decided that I could always trade one from my other game.

  • *Sigh* There both the same just with exclusive pokemon in each version. I have both of them so I prefer both but if I had the go with color I'd go with Fire Red. There there basicly same.

  • I picked Fire Red... i always get the first name in the group... Red* and blue, Gold* and Silver, Ruby* and Sapphire, Fire Red* and Leaf Green. My sister always gets the other one. Theyre both pretty much the same thing to me o.o

  • I agree with DSS, FR is better because of the Deoxys form, and I like the Pokemons you catch there too!

  • I have LeafGreen so I'll vote for it. I like the color green more than red anyway...

    it was actually a very hard decision. I wanted a Meowth so badly and when I figured out that Meowth could be caught in BOTH games, I picked LG anyway because I'm starting to get in the habit of buying the "under-dog" games. (like Sapphire... but I DO have Gold version...)

    LG. FR has cooler exclusives, but, like SGM said, its a GREEN PAK! w00t!

    And I also agree its cool to have a remake of a Japan-only Pok?mon game. ^_____^

    So...I believe LeafGreen is really the better choice =D

  • I choose Leaf Green not because of my favourite pokemon but because green was never released in Australia.So i voted nothing because they both are great.

  • Leaf Green all the way~ cooler-colour games pwn j00, besides my bro got FR. He always picks the hotter-colours, I pick the cooler, that's how it works in my family. And I like green much better than red. I like that shade.

    This has turned into a Red vs Green color competition xD

    Looks like the exclusives don't play much of a part =S

    Ya. I really wanted Cloyster/Scizor in LG. Those are the only pokemon I really regret not being able to catch in the wild.

  • I bought Fire Red because it had Vileplume and Cloyster but I know that Leaf Green is better in that which you get better pokemon.
